For Credit Unions
Credit unions excel at helping members understand and control their financial well-being — a key factor in building stronger relationships, trust, and loyalty. To build on that foundation, credit unions should consider expanding credit card underwriting by adding incremental relationship data.
- Using only credit scores is straightforward but can limit your ability to meet members' needs. Over14% of people use Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) technology because they can't get approved for a credit card.
- About 60% of people in the U.S. have a score lower than the national average of 714.
- For those just starting to build credit, Gen Z (679) has the lowest average, but the group with the highest room for growth.
