NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today, Nova Credit announced the inaugural Cash Flow Underwriting Summit, to be held in NYC on September 12, 2024, and has unveiled a packed agenda featuring the industry’s leading experts. The agenda will cover key considerations in the use of cash flow analytics in consumer lending. Nova Credit, the credit infrastructure and analytics company that enables businesses to grow responsibly by harnessing alternative credit data, has launched the Summit as a groundbreaking initiative to accelerate the understanding and adoption of this powerful and growing lending practice.
The Summit comes at a crucial inflection point in the adoption of cash flow underwriting. Until now, traditional credit reporting (“your credit score”) has been the main source of an individual’s credit risk assessment. However, acceptance and availability of alternative credit data have been steadily increasing, and the CFPB’s efforts to finalize its 1033 ruling are poised to significantly advance open banking in the United States. These changes will revolutionize consumer lending practices, and position cash flow underwriting to proliferate in years to come. Urgency among financial institutions is intensifying to better understand how to adapt to these changes and take advantage of additional levers for responsible growth.
The Summit will bring together senior leaders in risk, credit, revenue and compliance from top financial institutions and fintechs to discuss the transformative potential of cash flow underwriting. Confirmed attendees at the Summit include banking and risk management executives from American Express, Bank of America, Barclays, Capital One, Mastercard, PNC, US Bank, and more.
Featured speakers include:
- Kenneth Lin, CEO and Founder, Intuit Credit Karma
- John J. McNamara, Principal Assistant Director, Markets, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB)
- Eileen Serra, Board Director, Capital One
- Paul LaRusso, CEO, Akoya

Amid these changes, cash flow underwriting is quickly becoming a prominent growth strategy, offering numerous revenue-generating applications throughout the customer journey. Nova Credit is proud to present a forum to help the industry better understand these outcomes and opportunities.”
