I’m an Account Executive in Experian’s Consumer Information Services department. I’m also a millennial. So I know firsthand that millennials’ way of thinking — and spending — typically goes against the grain of traditional lending, especially given today’s focus on a sharing economy. Most millennials don’t have a traditional credit history to prove we can be trusted to pay back loans or lines of credit from lenders. Using data, I’m working to change that while also helping small businesses by enabling them to do business with my generation. At Experian, we look at alternative data sets — like paying rent and utilities — that show how a millennial is actually a low-risk candidate for credit, even if his or her credit score doesn’t reflect that. Through our data, we’re providing opportunities for people who wouldn’t ordinarily have access so they can buy their first house, get a car or start that business they’ve always dreamed about. I see my role as a bridge between millennials and an older generation, connecting young consumers with the resources experienced lenders can provide. A lot of my clients are small-business lenders with strict underwriting criteria. My lenders need to improve their underwriting to win lifelong customers, but they’re understandably afraid of risk. With pinpoint accuracy, we can help them identify their best opportunities using data, including information like rent payments, they may have overlooked. In my work, I get to take a hands-on approach of adapting to an emerging market and an ever-evolving technology landscape. I’m proud to be helping to create a new generation of customers for small businesses while giving my fellow millennials the financial access they need.

At Experian MicroAnalytics, we work to develop the financial services sector in emerging economies. We knew when we started this venture that we wanted to make a big difference and have a strong social impact. Recently, we began working with one of the largest banks in Kenya – a country where a lot of people don’t have access to finance. Getting a loan can take weeks, requiring an enormous amount of paperwork. For all that effort, most Kenyan entrepreneurs really only need $5 to $120 loans to help their family pay for groceries or purchase fresh business supplies. If a Kenyan small-business owner, for example, needs to pay their supplier $50 for Coca-Cola products to sell in their shop at a higher margin, they have no easy or timely way to get that money, which means they lose potential business. We implemented for this bank in Kenya a system that allows their clients to log onto a mobile banking app and get their loan instantly. This system creates a risk profile for each client, collecting all the relevant data on any previous banking transaction. The system – using the risk profile – will then define the maximum amount the bank can lend to each individual client, and any loan request within this limit is processed and disbursed into the client’s bank account instantly. This system enables them to cut through the red tape and piles of paperwork, giving more people access to affordable loans. Since we started, we have helped more banks in countries around the world facing the same types of issues. It feels great to know that the work we’re doing is helping millions of people get access to finance. It means they can pay for whatever they need in an easy way, allowing them to make ends meet and keep their business moving. Read more #ExperianStories from our colleagues around the world.
I’m an IT Trainee at Serasa Experian. I research and identify ways to solve the challenges facing financial technology (fintech) organizations in Brazil, including fraud. Fraud is a prevalent problem that makes loans expensive and application processes time-consuming. I’m working to help fintechs, like online lenders, give their customers more affordable loans without risking fraud. One particular fintech wanted our help to offer cheaper credit to people through online lending. The problem was they weren’t relying on any bureau data or automated processes, which made verifying identities and credit scores difficult. They relied on face-to-face conversations and a manual paperwork reviewal process, which was both expensive and tedious. Not surprisingly, they were having significant issues with fraud. My team came in and provided a scoring system for credit reports and a fraud protection tool that Experian had developed. Now when an individual applies for a loan through the lender’s mobile application, Experian runs the credit score for them and verifies that person’s identity. This process is not only faster, but it has significantly decreased their cases of fraud. Because this fintech can now obtain more accurate credit scores for its applicants, it can offer loans to more customers who genuinely need them, while lowering costs. I take pride in knowing that the work I do is making an impact on my country’s economy and helping people get the financial access they need at a fair price, faster.
