Lantern Credit’s white label platform for financial institutions draws personal financial data including credit data, account information and personal goals to provide customers with real-time information to make informed choices designed to improve their financial wellness. Financial Institutions utilizing the Lantern Interactive Credit Report™ will benefit from having more engaged consumers and will be better equipped to provide relevant offers to those consumers. Instead of the traditional static credit report, Lantern’s Interactive Credit Report delivers access to a free credit report and score and enables consumers to model the effects of financial actions, receive and accept offers directly from lenders and make payments on existing accounts.
“Consumer credit is a difficult industry to navigate, particularly in markets that do not yet have a strong consumer credit infrastructure and Lantern Credit is breaking ground by building advanced technologies that financial institutions provide to their customers in order to benefit the entire market,” said Ricardo Gomez-Acebo, board member of Lantern Credit. “I’m looking forward to contributing to Lantern Credit’s strategic initiatives in the U.S. and globally.”
