VantageScore Sets the Tone for the Future of Credit at CBA LIVE

Hello, VantageScorers: This week, Team VantageScore traveled to San Diego, California for CBA LIVE, the premier annual conference for the retail banking industry. With more than 1,700 attendees, including 700 senior-level bankers and industry decision-makers, the conference gathered prominent voices from across the nation, including JPMorgan Chase and PNC Bank. The event focused on regulatory issues, emerging trends, and innovative strategies shaping the future of consumer banking.

Dr. Rikard Bandebo, Chief Strategy Officer and Chief Economist, hosted a panel discussion highlighting the power of rental data in credit scoring. Joined by Leslie Deich, Head of Retail Credit Risk at M&T Bank, and DeeDee Hadalski, Director of Scoring Initiatives at Synovus, the panel explored how advanced analytics and data-driven insights can help lenders weather volatility and grow more effectively. Rikard highlighted that rental data is not only highly predictive but also a powerful tool for helping consumers accelerate their credit journey.

This event made it clear that as the consumer credit market evolves, so must the tools lenders rely on. Through meaningful conversations with key stakeholders, Team VantageScore reaffirmed its position as a trusted partner to the banking industry.

Special thanks go to Rikard for leading an engaging panel discussion. Additional thanks go to Atif Mirza, SVP of Digital; Jeff Richardson, Chief Marketing Officer; Will Melfi, Social Media Manager; and Tori Millender, Senior Marketing Specialist, for representing VantageScore and fostering valuable connections throughout the event.
