VantageScore Engages with Industry Leaders at Auto Finance Capital Summit

Hello, VantageScorers:

This week, Team VantageScore ventured south to Nashville, Tennessee, for the inaugural 2026 Auto Finance Capital Summit, one of the newest and most influential gatherings for leaders across the automotive ABS, treasury, and capital markets sectors. Attendees included many of the industry’s leading organizations, including American Honda Financial Corporation, Toyota Financial Services, Fitch Ratings, and Bank of America Securities.

During a featured panel led by Tony Hutchinson, Head of Public Affairs, panelists discussed how trended consumer data is transforming structured finance and credit risk evaluation. Credit models like VantageScore are helping lenders safely approve more borrowers with minimal incremental risk. The discussion also highlighted how modern analytics are improving predictive performance amid ongoing economic volatility while giving issuers and investors greater transparency into borrower behavior and collateral quality.

As a proud sponsor of the inaugural summit, VantageScore’s participation at the Auto Finance Capital Summit reinforced the company’s growing presence across the auto finance and structured finance industry. Conversations throughout the event highlighted the industry’s increasing focus on reducing costs while leveraging advanced credit models to improve loan originations and assess risk in the Auto ABS market.

Special thanks go to Tony for leading a thought-provoking discussion on how smarter data is reshaping transparency and execution in ABS issuance. Additional thanks go to Jeff Richardson, Chief Marketing Officer; Will Melfi, Social Media Manager; and Tori Millender, Senior Marketing Specialist, for building valuable connections throughout the event and for ensuring that VantageScore made a strong impression at this summit.
