Instant credit card decisioning can be used by multiple institutions. Of course it can be used by traditional financial institutions like banks and credit unions, but it can also be used to determine credit worthiness for consumers in other establishments, such as department stores. Instant decisioning that takes at the point-of-sale provides benefits to both the lending institution and the consumer.
For traditional lending institutions, instant decisioning at the point-of-sale has benefits that include increased customer satisfaction; an increased ability to up-sell, cross-sell, and down-sell other products; and the ability to acquire more customers in less time.
Increased customer satisfaction is achievable because the consumer application can be submitted and processed, and within a matter of seconds or subseconds they can know whether or not they are approved for a credit product. This is a vast improvement over traditional decisioning systems that could take days or weeks until a result was returned.
An increased ability to up-sell, cross-sell, and down-sell products is beneficial because consumers sometimes apply for cards for which they are over or under-qualified. In the case of instant credit card decisioning, at the point-of-sale the FI can make an offer for a card for which the consumer would be better suited. This way, if the consumer is under-qualified, the FI can suggest another product instead of just rejecting (and losing) a potential customer. If the consumer is over-qualified, the FI can offer a product for which the returns from the card would be more beneficial to the consumer. The ability to cross-sell is also important, because many times when applying for a credit card, a consumer will also qualify for a product from another line of business. Because they are already in the mindset of buying, cross-sell efforts at the point-of-sale have proven to be very effective for FIs.
For retailers, instant credit decisioning helps increase consumer loyalty and can increase the volume of purchases made. Instant decisioning for store-branded cards increases consumer loyalty because the consumer receives rewards for that store when they use the branded card, so the rate of attrition or substitution is decreased. Instant decisioning can also increase the volume of purchases made because when a consumer is approved for a retail-branded card, often, the consumer can begin to use the account that day and for a certain period of time can get a special discount for purchases in the store. In the case of these time-sensitive rebates, consumers are apt to spend more.
Instant credit card decisioning can be used by various institutions for different purposes. Because of its realtime application, the consumer buying process is improved and the institutions can cater the offer to the qualifications of the consumer at the point-of-sale. In every case, both the consumer and lender can realize benefits at the point-of-sale and for the duration of the banking relationship.
