Lending Transformation

Reply addresses the shifting credit market, which is increasingly characterised by new efforts to reach customers via simplified, digitalized processes and create partnerships between financial institutions and merchants.

The context

An acceleration in digital transformation has led to stark changes in the credit and lending markets

Access to credit for customers is faster than ever thanks to the acceleration of classic lending processes and the introduction of new credit products designed for the growing needs of customers. New loan models are facilitated by online platforms, thanks to services provided by Fintech companies and access to new payment tools. More and more, this is leading to partnerships between merchants and financial institutions which are mutually beneficial to both parties.
