What's the Open Banking use case?

Freedom Finance launched the Fusion Score, the first Open Banking enabled score that creates a single metric that interprets a customer’s eligibility based on both credit and transactional data, a first for the lending industry.

The Fusion Score changes the whole dynamic of applying for credit by bringing open banking technology to the top of a multi-product pre-qualification journey for the first time. As the name suggests, the score itself is a single metric which interprets a customer’s eligibility by harmonising credit data with insights extracted from their consented transaction data. The customer receives a personalised score and a transparent explanation of all the factors driving it; lenders receive an enriched application allowing them to make offers to segments which they previously could not access.
