Hyper-Personalized Lending

Understand your customers, tailor your engagement and transform your business with our “loan acquisition as a service” solution.

Two-thirds of customers today expect their banks to know their needs, deliver personalized engagement and tailor offers exclusively for them. But many lenders continue to drive a non-personalized approach to customer acquisition, with irrelevant offers and one-size-fits-all comms. The result? Low conversion rates and dissatisfied customers.

Five years ago, that would have been shortsighted. But today, with new digital-savvy fintechs driving growth in consumer loans, lenders without a customer-centric engagement strategy are facing a big problem.

 

Loan acquisition as a service

We offer an end-to-end solution for banks looking to improve their acquisition strategy by targeting the right customers in the right places with hyper-personalized customer journeys.

Our turnkey solution transforms your lending funnel and platform without the need to secure investment and deliver costly new technology from scratch.

With our modular “loan acquisition as a service” model, we can tailor the solution directly to your business requirements. We’ll define your acquisition strategy, pilot test and then scale your new proposition.

Our solution is based on four key principles:

  • Intent

    Assessing your customers' wants and needs and identifying the audience with the highest intent.

    Top of mind

    Using online and offline triggers, reaching your target audience when lending is top of their mind.

    Personalization

    Delivering personalized engagement that resonates with their wants and needs.

    Always on

    Listening to emerging signals and being first with personalized engagement.

We’ll create and test these value propositions and manage the activation and channel optimization to ensure the right messaging reaches the right customers in the right places. We’ll also create individual path-to-purchase journeys to engage, nurture, retarget and convert each customer, wherever they are in their journey.

Test, optimize, scale

With your value propositions and activation strategies defined, we’ll run a pilot test to optimize your strategy. Using multiple data points, we’ll assess the effectiveness of the messaging, refine the intent model based on the customer response and optimize your acquisition strategy against your business objectives.
