Integrating Credit Decisions with the Back Office
When you’re launching a new product, business line, or starting up a business, you’ve got to move fast and break things.

A gastro pub restaurant applies for business insurance and is approved. However, social media insights show the restaurant is declining. Even though underwriters usually take a quick look at social media postings, evaluating the trends of the business is not part of the decision process.
