Impact of Mobile Data on the development of the Financial Industry

Created 24 May 24

The technological race has been the main driver in the development of digital services worldwide. Areas such as the financial sector, education, essential services, and e-commerce have greatly benefited from tools and applications aimed at enhancing operational performance, user experience, and banking inclusion.

Focusing on the financial industry, leveraging mobile data has been essential as complementary information in onboarding processes, profiling, and credit scoring. Additionally, it has made significant contributions to cybersecurity in preventing various types of fraud, such as identity theft and default risk.

The Potential of Mobile Data

Analytical models and processes based on traditional information sources can provide relevant background for a particular market segment. However, they do not ensure business scalability due to the limited scope of such data.

According to the Ericsson Mobility Report, there were 720 million mobile subscribers in Latin America by the end of 2022. Due to the extensive reach and penetration of mobile phones, alternative mobile data allows for entry into new segments and configurations, with the potential to increase approval levels in financial services and expand the operational horizon safely and consistently over time.
