What I love most about my work is supporting subject-matter experts in making their knowledge and resources easier to understand and find. A few years ago, I had the opportunity to help consumers better understand their rights and protections around buying a car. Cars are eye candy, and many of us walk into a dealer to explore and walk away with loans we may or may not be able to afford. Working hand-in-hand with consumer finance experts on recrafting, optimizing, and testing the content, the process is now emblazoned on my brain – and I’m grateful for it. Did you know… 🔦 You’ll get a better deal by shopping for auto loans from multiple lenders before even stepping into a dealership 🔦 Getting multiple credit checks from lenders can impact your credit score if you extend the car-buying process beyond 45 days 🔦 Never calculate your monthly payment from the listed price of the vehicle 🔦 There are a number of things you can negotiate, including your trade-in value and the optional add-on products and features Well after this process wrapped up, I found myself sharing car-shopping knowledge with anyone who would listen. And this Memorial Day weekend, we put it to the test and forgo a date night to get a new car. Knowledge is confidence, and I’m grateful I could sit in the driver’s seat on this one.

Congratulations to David Spektor, LodeStar Co-Founder and CTO on being named a PROGRESS in Lending Association 2024 Next Gen Leader Award Winner!⭐️ "... Enter the Closing Cost Calculator that David co-designed. With a simple calculator, which now integrates with 13+ LOS, POS, and other systems, and an in-depth database of closing costs in all 3000+ counties in the United States, lenders can generate insanely accurate closing cost quotes in just a few clicks. This level of automation has the potential to make lenders more secure in the face of market ups-and-downs, protect staff from turnover by leveraging scalable workflows, and free up loan officers to log face time with leads." https://lnkd.in/eSnNAa9S

If you've flown United out of Washington Dulles Airport lately, you took a moving walkway after exiting the train to Concourse A. (Yes, this is niche, but stick with me). The hallway is one, giant immersive ad for a credit union. The walls are long, digital billboards, with animated images of "free checking! free savings!" + the company's logo. There's a jingle playing on the speakers, which was a song with the word "free" over and over again. Now, I'm the farthest thing from a banking or advertising wiz. I'm certain there's something I'm missing here. But, it felt like a waste of money to me. Here's why. 1 - Do I stay with my bank because I LOVE it? No. But, it's good enough and I know it sucks to change your bank. If I'm going to go through the hassle of switching, it's gotta be for a really good reason. Most banks waive the fee if you have a minimum balance. If you don't, it's about $10-15/month. 2 - $120-180/year IS a meaningful cost for many. But, if you're in an airport at 1:30 pm, what are the odds you're the ICP for this message? It's not cheap to fly. Plus, this credit union knows exactly where travelers are flying at all times of the day. They can make some educated guesses on traveler personas with that insight. 3 - 30 secs is a LONG time to have your buyer's captive attention. For me to switch to this credit union, they have to win 2 fights. Why should I switch from a bank to a credit union? And why should I choose THIS credit union? Singing and flashing images of "FREE!" for 30 seconds probably ain't gonna do it. Right or wrong, it's a feature I assume most banks & credit unions offer. So, what makes a credit union different? The "Good": Lower interest rates on loans + higher interest rates on deposits + a community of like-minded customers. The "Bad": Fewer branch & ATM locations, slower adoption of technology. I didn't know this until I Googled it to write this post. I could give 2 sh*ts about going into a branch, I don't have any loans, I don't care about a fancy banking app with an AI virtual chat, and the idea of my savings making a better return sounds good. Maybe I'm a great target for credit unions. But, I'd never know it b/c all I remember is "they have free checking and savings". If you're still with me, here's the lesson for our own Sales convos. "We help you increase revenue!" "Save money!" and "Save time!" are the B2B equivalents of "free checking!". Overused, undervalued. It's really hard to overcome status quo if we don't have a clear understanding of what makes us different.

North American Asset Based Lending ("ABL") & Senior Debt Capital Veteran Providing "A to B" Thoughtful & Efficient Debt Capital Solutions, Guidance and Intelligence to Borrowers, Lenders & All Service Providers of ABL.
Warm Greetings Everyone! I Hope and Trust that Everyone is Enjoying a Safe and Wonderful Summer Season. I am Happy to Announce My Official Launch of a VALUE-ADD ABL Services Business: Hiscock Asset Based Capital Solutions Inc. Given My 25+ Years Dedicated to the World of Asset Based and Senior Secured Lending, I am Actively Working with Borrowers, Lenders (Traditional & Alternative), Advisors, Due Diligence Service Providers, & Others in Order to Enjoy an Efficient Transactional Experience. Over the trailing 12 months, I have been busy providing a myriad of pro-bono services to companies, advisors and lenders, whilst operating under NDAs, with the intention of gaining an understanding of the "transactional journey", largely, from a NON-LENDERS viewpoint --> and from the perspective of some lenders (CDN & US.) vis a vis prospective borrowers, advisors (inside and outside accounting firms), lawyers, due diligence providers etc.; I have successfully identified a number of gaps, particularly in Canada, which I intend to fill / remedy. I am sure that Everyone, has identified some of these "serviceable" gaps as well - and as such, I look forward to discussing and implementing / actioning solutions, some of which are obvious (disappointing and unprofessional), with any parties seeking advice on "Most things ABL" in North America (and some select foreign jurisdictions). The myriads of services that we shall be providing will act as a conduit for the client to execute as seamlessly as possible, from A to B. Our Fresh Secure Website: https://lnkd.in/gucEu4t6 New Business Email: geoffreyhiscock@assetbasedsolutions.ca Full coordinates are contained within my contact details. I, very much, look forward to returning to the street - Please do not hesitate to say "Hello" if you don't recognize me at first, as my appearance is "healthier"! Over the trailing 12 months, I focused on my physical and mental health, slowly losing over 80lbs (back to my High School Days) via diet and exercise and my mind has never been firing on so many cylinders! I may be 50, but I feel like I'm 21, again. Given my re-energized self, I am also following a passion of mine - which shall not be a surprise to many of you that know me. I have fallen head-first into the Sartorial World of men's classic, insanely hand-made apparel (ON THE PREMISES - NOT OUTSOURCED). I have been hanging around a bespoke studio for the last 12 months - typically one day / week - assisting with the operational flow, reviewing B2B / Film and Television contracts (semi-bespoke, machine made), financial planning and, ultimately joining as a Partner with Mr. Sebastian Richard Espinosa, whom is a 20+ year Master Tailor, having trained on Saville Row. I have also incorporated an additional entity (to be announced in the late Fall of 2024) - which will be physically located within our Atelier. Given that I am 24/7 - I shall balance the above...along with my return to Acting - Stay Tuned.

Marshall Lux and Jack Zoltak, researchers at Georgetown, recently shared their case for a bold revamping of the U.S. credit industry to expand creditworthiness to more Americans. They propose: 1️⃣ Consumers should be able to opt-in to data provision and have the right to non-traditional data to determine credit worthiness. 2️⃣ Incentivize broader data collection to include a broad variety of real-world payments. 3️⃣ Data should be standardized and digitized. Providing fair access to credit for the historically underserved thin-file and no-file US adult population- roughly the size of Texas and California combined - is a vision central to our work at Nova Credit. But - implementing this vision remains a challenge for many lenders, given existing infrastructure and current regulatory practices. Nova Credit has innovated since it’s founding in 2016 to expand the credit-eligible universe. To discover Nova Credit’s solutions to expanding to new consumer segments and improving decisioning on existing segments - all while maintaining your risk profile - visit our website: https://lnkd.in/ePyH66MB

Happy Friday Folks! What are the learnings from this saga? 1. 100% of these loans were “manually” underwritten 2. Automated Underwriting is the only way to remove systemic bias by making sure, lenders don’t depend on just traditional data & just traditional data based scores as they are already biased, understanding of member’s cashflow is important, only FCRA compliant data is used, ECOA redlining ratio compliance tests are performed to make sure no disparate action has crept into it inadvertently 3. Automated Underwriting doesn’t have bad Monday or happy Friday. Surveys have proved that in manual underwriting scenarios, Fridays have more loans approved vs. Mondays 4. Automated underwriting doesn’t have a fight with its spouse previous night and that anguish is carried forward next day during manual underwriting 4. Humans can be biased, racist, xenophobic; automated underwriting cannot be 5. Intent of the underwriting processes should be to find reasons to say “yes” and not the other way around I hope that the custodians of “manual underwriting” are taking a note from this situation as a starting point to look at the inherent issues with the legacy technology, only traditional data based scores, 100% or majority of human dependent processes and the same traditional methods of underwriting for the last 40-50 years. As they say, if you change nothing, nothing will change. Would you join us in bringing about the change? “Be the change that you wish to see in the world.” - Mahatma Gandhi #creditunions #automatedsolutions #underwriting #lending #fairlending #financialinclusion #bethechange Scienaptic AI #ai

Cashflow-based underwriting can expand access to credit for populations who don't have established credit scores. (Think gig-workers, students, young people, etc.). Plaid's Consumer Report is another big step in our mission to unlock financial freedom for everyone. #Plaid #openbanking #credit #underwriting
There is a clear need for real-time cash flow data in lending - we see this up close from businesses we work with everyday. That’s why, I’m really proud to announce the launch of Consumer Report (our first product out of Plaid’s Consumer Reporting Agency), our new solution that allows businesses to incorporate cash flow data seamlessly into their underwriting workflows. Built on Plaid’s decade-long expertise in bank account connectivity, and our network of 500M connected accounts, we’re now bringing these best practices and insights to the world of lending. I’m thrilled to be working alongside companies from personal lenders to property managers who are already integrating with our new solution, and look forward to working with many more of you.
