This webinar examines a growing shift in small‑business lending toward aligning credit decisions more closely with real‑world financial performance. 

Drawing on industry perspectives from Mastercard and Uplinq, this session looks at how broader data sources and AI‑enabled analytics are helping lenders gain critical context around small‑business health, and what this shift means for risk assessment, customer management, and long‑term portfolio performance.

This session will be most relevant for small‑business lenders, credit and risk leaders, and teams exploring new approaches to growth, transformation, and responsible credit expansion.

What you'll learn:

  • The role of Open Finance and transaction‑based insights across the credit lifecycle
  • The value of AI‑enabled analytics to support more tailored credit decisions
  • The impact of aligning credit decisions with real‑world performance
