Bureau exploring alternative data use for credit invisible

In a press release coordinated to coincide with the CFPB's Charleston, West Virginia, February 16 field hearing on Alternative Data, the Bureau announced this morning it has launched an inquiry into ways to expand access to credit for consumers who are credit invisible or who lack enough credit history to obtain a credit score. The Bureau is seeking public feedback on the benefits and risks of tapping alternative data sources such as bills for mobile phones and rent payments to make lending decisions about consumers whose lack of credit history might otherwise block opportunities. Specifically, the Bureau will explore these, and other, topics:

  • Access to credit
  • Complexity of the process
  • Impact on costs and service
  • Implications for privacy and security
  • Impact on specific groups
