TransUnion Supports Fiinu Bank in Offering Consumers Greater
Choice with New Plugin Overdraft Solution
19 December 2022: Global information and insights company
TransUnion is supporting Fiinu Bank to help enable its innovative
overdraft solution, using TransUnion Open Banking capabilities and
credit reference data.
This information will provide an in-depth understanding of a
consumer's financial situation and help Fiinu, which is a
registered bank, to deliver robust Open Banking-driven eligibility
checks of consumers applying for an overdraft.
Fiinu's Plugin Overdraft(R) is a standalone solution which
allows individuals to have an overdraft facility alongside their
existing current/bank account, using the same infrastructure and
ensuring a smooth customer journey. This offers the consumer
greater choice and supports financial inclusion and freedom,
bringing much needed flexibility to the overdraft market.
Stephen Wishart, director of fintech at TransUnion in the UK,
said: "We're pleased to support Fiinu as they drive innovation in
the market by seeking to offer new avenues for consumers to access
credit. The use of TransUnion Open Banking capabilities, alongside
our credit reference data, will provide a comprehensive view of the
individual's financial situation, helping Fiinu to assess the
finance that's right for the individual's needs.
"This partnership aligns with our mission of using Information
for Good and we look forward to working with Fiinu as they progress
on their journey towards the launch of this first-in-market
solution."
Chris Sweeney, CEO from Fiinu plc, said: "It's important that
consumers have as much choice as possible when it comes to finding
finance and that there are products to suit different needs.
Overdrafts play a major role in consumer credit provision, yet to
date they've only been offered as an extension of an existing
personal current account. At Fiinu we've created an overdraft that
can effectively plug in to your current account/bank account if you
don't have this facility available to you.
"Using TransUnion's Open Banking alongside credit reference data
will help us to obtain a holistic view of a consumer's financial
circumstances, so we can offer overdrafts, where appropriate, to
those who may otherwise have found it difficult to obtain an
overdraft and had to resort to more expensive and less appropriate
forms of credit."
