Sessions – Day 1 highlights
The conference hall was buzzing with conversations, discussions and thought leadership. Some themes definitely rose to the top — the increasing proliferation of fraud and how to combat it without diminishing the customer experience, leveraging AI and transformative technology in decisioning and how Experian is pioneering the GenAI era in finance and technology.
- Transformative technologies
AI and emerging technologies are reshaping the finance sector and it’s the responsibility of today’s industry leaders to equip themselves with cutting-edge strategies and a comprehensive understanding to master the rapidly evolving landscape. That said, transformation is a journey and aligning with a partner that’s agile and innovative is critical.
- Holistic fraud decisioning
Generative AI, a resurgence of bank branch transactions, synthetic identity and pig butchering are all fraud trends that today’s organizations must be acutely aware of and armed to protect their businesses and customers against. Leveraging a holistic fraud decisioning strategy is important in finding the balance between customer experience and mitigating fraud.
- Unlocking cashflow to grow, protect and reduce risk
Cash flow data can be used not only across the lending lifecycle, but also as part of assessing existing portfolio opportunities. Incorporating consumer-permissioned data into models and processes powers predicatbility and can further assess risk and help score more consumers.
- Navigating the economy
Amid a slowing economy, consumers and businesses continue to struggle with higher interest rates, tighter credit conditions and rising delinquencies, creating a challenging environment for lenders. Experian’s experts outlined their latest economic forecasts and provided actionable insights into key consumer and commercial credit trends.
