The partnership with Data On Demand will focus on two key objectives:

1 – Better Outcomes for Existing Customers – Lendology will utilise Data On Demands unique consumer insights to help identify existing and emerging signs of vulnerability within their customer base. This will enable the business to provide support to customers when they need it most, ensuring better customer outcomes and aligning with regulatory requirements.

Using the real time data insights and historical trends available within Data On Demands “ID.VU” solution they are able to do just that, presenting compelling evidence at a demographic level of the need for support in targeted areas of the country.

Comments from Lendology and Data On Demand:

Lendology

“We know from our experience, social impact reporting and consumer feedback that we are supporting a broad range of people, many of whom are excluded from mainstream finance options.  However, we lacked demographic data to underpin our working knowledge, and our new partnership with Data on Demand will be key to supporting us to support our growing and complex customer base, as well as provide evidence to existing and new council partners of the need in their local areas”.

Emma Lower, CEO, Lendology CIC

We created our “ID.VU” solution to help businesses better understand and service consumers in need. Their focus on supporting the most vulnerable and the synergy in terms of our objectives makes this an ideal partnership.”
