Signal is supposed to make accurate predictions about repayments and creditworthiness. These predictions aim to help lenders cut down defaults and serve more customers by offering a more precise understanding of a potential customer\u2019s financial situation. As regulations require lenders to stay transparent and fair, Signal provides explanations for how it decided an individual\u2019s score. According to <a href=\"https:\/\/creditkudos.com\/\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Credit Kudos<\/a>, the model has already led to notable results, with one of the lenders using Signal reporting a decrease in overall default rates from 11.7% to 9.7% and a rise in acceptances from 17.5% to 29.8%.<\/p>\n<p><b>Read more about <a href=\"https:\/\/codeandpepper.com\/services\/open-banking\/\">open

This new record comes after Chip\u2019s other successes such as increasing its revenues by 500% or attracting 400,000 users, in part due to new product launches, one of which we reported on in <a href=\"https:\/\/codeandpepper.com\/fintech-wire-31-new-uk-bank-joins-the-game\/\">FinTech Wire #31<\/a>.
