Fintech Takes x Nova Credit Presents Cash Flow Conversations Episode 6: Living Out on the Edge

Hello, and welcome back to Cash Flow Conversations, a podcast series sponsored by our friends at Nova Credit.

We’ve spent a lot of time in this series focused on the mainstream adoption of cash flow data within consumer lending: where to get started, the challenges you can expect to face.

Episode 6 leaves that territory behind for the open frontier, where the conversations aren’t about operational realities but about what’s coming next.

And there’s no one better to have that conversation with than Nikki Cross, Head of Data Science Consulting at Nova Credit.

We get into why the development of custom scores in cash flow lending is harder than most lenders expect on Day 1, fair lending and how to navigate compliance concerns within an entirely new universe of data, and what agentic AI means for explainable credit decisions.

Cash flow data reveals far more about how consumers tend to their financial lives than bureau data ever did; which is both the opportunity and the complication.
