Some additional UK centric financial news that I found of interest. FICO UK credit card market report: June 2024 The FICO UK Credit Card Market Report for June 2024 reflects the usual seasonal uplift in consumer spending over the summer months. However, the data also suggests that consumers are managing their credit debt effectively. Whilst May 2024 saw quite significant month-on-month increases in late payments, lenders will be encouraged by the fact these have not carried over into June to the same extent. One area of concern is the increasing trend in balances for customers missing three payments. 1. Credit card spending rose 4.2% from May to June 2024, now standing at an average of £840 and 0.1% higher than June 2023. 2. In line with usual seasonal trends, average balances increased by 1.1% in June to £1,800; this is 5.7% higher than June 2023. 3. The percentage of balance paid dropped by 2.3% month-on-month in June to 36.9%, reflecting the increase in spend and overall balance. It is also 2.7% lower year-on-year, although the pattern of lower payments to balance seen in the early part of 2024 has steadied. 4. After rising quite significantly from April to May (8.3%), the number of cardholders who missed one payment fell by 6.5% from May to June. 5. The average balance for cardholders missing one payment has remained higher year-on-year for two years, and was £2,235 in June. 6. Although there was an increase in May in the number of customers missing one payment, this has not rolled into seeing higher numbers in June missing two payments. In fact, for the second month in a row there has been a decrease in customers missing two payments. 7. June also saw a significant drop in customers missing three payments; however, this is still 2% higher year-on-year. 8. The use of credit cards to take out cash has continued to increase, following the typical summer trend. At 3.45%, it is 3.4% higher month-on-month. Selected text is © www.business-money.com, 2024.

The average annual percentage rate on credit cards nearly DOUBLED to 22.8% in 2023 from 12.9% in 2013, costing consumers around $25 billion in interest fees last year, according to an analysis by the CFPB. Learning to utilize a credit card within your budget can keep you from getting into this deep hole! My excel transaction spreadsheet has become my best friend, and kept me disciplined to have not paid a single dollar in interest or fees over the past 3 years! #creditcard #discover #nofees #personalfinance https://lnkd.in/ghXbxqrB

Their report states FINDINGS: "Checking and savings account pricing can include a variety of fees, such as monthly maintenance fees, minimum balance fees, overdraft fees, and wire transfer fees,” the CFPB said. “Some banks also offer complex tiered interest rates based on account balances, making it difficult for consumers to compare yields across different institutions. Some checking accounts advertised as “free” may in fact require minimum balances, recurring direct deposits, or other qualifications that could obscure the true cost of the account.” Every bank or CU website or branch I've ever visited, it was not hard to find the 1) Interest rates being offered and the tiers for earning more for higher balances, and 2) The fees charged are clearly stated in a regulatory Fee Schedule. This report is more of the same from the CFPB and amounts to fear mongering. Why don't they just come out and say it, the CFPB wants banks and CUs to operate with only making money on the spread between Savings and Loans (oh, and don't have tiers). These stories are starting to take toll on me. What say you Dennis Dollar ?

A new CardRatings.com study found the average credit card interest rate by analyzing the terms of 60 popular credit card offers. But because what you actually pay for a credit card also depends on fees, your credit score, and how you use your card(s), the study also evaluated other key statistics to help you determine what to consider when searching for a new card.

The average APR on credit cards reached 22.8% in 2023, according to a report from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau This figure is the highest level recorded since the Federal Reserve began collecting this data in 1994. Over the last 10 years, the average APR on credit cards has almost doubled, standing at 12.9% in late 2013. Interest rates have been rising consistently over that time frame, but that’s only a small part of the equation. Equally important is the fact that the APR margin—the difference between the average APR and the prime rate—has reached an all-time high.

Financial services providers make significant consumer decisions using out of date information. 😖 - They use credit bureau data and because of the way financial services has developed it is often stale, skewed, and exclusionary. 👾 - This penalises consumers but also leaves lenders making sub-optimal decisions. - 🎯 At Infact Systems we believe in the power of real-time data to revolutionise the credit industry. This is why real-time data matters: 1. It ensures that lenders have the most current view of a consumer’s financial behavior, enabling more accurate risk assessments and better decision-making. This immediacy helps lenders identify changes in a consumer’s credit profile as they happen, rather than months later. 2. Lenders can make more informed decisions, whether it's approving a loan, adjusting credit limits, or identifying potential fraud. The latest information allows for more precise and confident actions. 3. Outdated information can reflect a high credit amount that has already been paid down. Real-time data provides a more accurate snapshot, helping consumers avoid inaccurate decisions. 4. In a competitive market, lenders who adopt real-time data can respond more swiftly to market changes, offer better terms to low-risk customers, and mitigate risks more effectively. This agility not only improves their bottom line but also enhances customer satisfaction and loyalty. 5. It reduces the chances of errors and discrepancies, building a more trustworthy and reliable credit system. Consumers are more likely to engage with lenders who provide accurate and up-to-date information, knowing that their financial behaviour is being fairly represented. We are leading this transformation by leveraging real-time data to create a more dynamic, accurate, and fair credit reporting system. 🔥 🌱 Follow us to learn more about our journey to build the first FCA authorised real-time CRA.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Report finds large card issuers "offered worse rates across credit scores: Whether a person has poor, good, or great credit, large issuers offer higher interest rates. For example, the median interest rate for people with good credit – a credit score between 620 and 719 – was 28.20% for large issuers and 18.15% for small issuers. Fifteen issuers reported credit cards with interest rates above 30%." LawFi's Legal Fee Loans will offer borrowers low interest rates below 18% with no hidden fees, compounded interest, or late fees. https://lnkd.in/eWXg26Qf

In the headline review this morning, new data on Credit Card Arrears levels. This points to stretched affordability for cardholders and changes to acquisition criteria post pandemic. The impacts are clearly continuing to flow through. From FICO's UK credit card trends report, by Liz Ruddick (edited extract below) Before the pandemic, the number of customers missing either one, two or three payments was always higher for the New segment, those who have held the card for less than 12 months. Post-pandemic, it is the Established group of customers (those who have held the card for between one and five years) who are now more likely to miss payments. Reasons include: They would have taken out cards during the pandemic, when their affordability may have looked better than usual due to lack of spending opportunities and increased savings. Over the last 12 months, many of these customers would have come to the end of promotional balance transfer offers at a time when interest rates are higher than they were previously. The range of balance transfer offers has also declined, meaning they may now be having to pay back these balances at a higher rate than expected. Veteran segment, customers who have held their card for more than five years, the increase in missed payments is even more apparent. One, two and three missed payment balances have all increased at a higher rate since December 2023. There were also increases in two missed payment balances between March and August 2023, and again between June and October 2023. https://lnkd.in/enPBBgDe ---- This last comment on veteran customers is particularly concerning and could be a good data point on wider structural affordability issues, bubbling up. Another nuanced indicator to watch.
