Fixing This One Algorithm Can Make Lending Fairer For Millions Of Americans

Lenders are required by law to prove they don’t discriminate based on race. But the dirty little secret in finance is that lenders often have to guess the race of their applicants to make sure they’re in line with fair lending laws. The industry relies on a simplistic calculation called BISG that combines last name and ZIP code to guess the race of a borrower. Unfortunately, BISG is not much better than random for key demographic segments like African American. BISG results in 10s of millions of people being miscounted in fair lending analysis.

As part of its commitment to improving equity in financial services, Zest AI has released to the public a new and improved race estimation algorithm that uses more data and better math to significantly increase the accuracy of race estimation. By leveraging AI-powered credit scores along with better race estimation methods, Zest’s credit union customers have increased approval rates for women and people of color by over 30% — with no increase in risk.

In this session, you will learn how fair lending analysis works, how to set a higher bar, and how we can work together to say “yes” to more members of every demographic.

Why one-to-one messaging is the key to profitable member relationships

In our remote-first world, businesses may not be able to leverage in-person moments to engage and maintain their member base, but that doesn’t mean you cannot create a memorable and profitable experience. Member relationship management is a simple enough concept in theory. While every business has its own methods of member interaction, building and maintaining a profitable member relationship is often an area that requires some review. In this panel discussion, our team of experts come together to discuss how one-to-one messaging can provide a seamless and personalized experience that benefits both your members and your bottom line.

Leverage Your Data With Advanced Analytics to Grow the Life Time Value of Members

Credit unions will not “out tech” large banks and fin-techs on their own. The competitive advantage via local, personalized, white-glove service is diminishing as member interactions become more digital. However, with the right partners credit unions have an opportunity to thrive by re-defining the local experience with digitally transforming how they operate. Learn how you can leverage your data with personalized member intelligence using the right data analytics. Use AI powered data analytics to understand more about your members to grow their lifetime value for your credit union, predict churn, understand which products to introduce to your members and when, based upon deep learning models that are informed by your data.
