New Information Has Come to Light

If financial inclusion is the birthday cake, alternative data is the flour. And the eggs. And sometimes, the icing. In this episode of The Finance Frontier, host Eric Hathaway is joined in the studio by Zach Tondre, Director of Strategy for the Digital Economy at LexisNexis. Eric and Zach discuss the importance of alternative data to complement traditional credit reports and to inform lenders about potential new customers. With a wide range of alternative data available, banks have a whole new way to understand their customers, and provide them with the products and services that they desperately need. And that is definitely something to celebrate.
