Let’s cut to the chase!

The Demand Is Real. The Danger Is, Too.

Every day, subprime lenders leave millions on the table; or worse, lose it to defaults and regulators.

There’s a right way to scale. And a reckless way.

This isn’t theory. It’s the exact playbook smart operators are using to grow fast without getting burned.

Use these 7 tactics. Build a portfolio that performs.

And beat the hell out of your competitors while you’re at it.

⚙️ 1. Use Tiered Underwriting Models

All subprime borrowers are not equal. Use credit bureau data (Clarity, MicroBilt, DataX, FactorTrust) to segment applicants by risk profile. Then adjust your:

• Loan amount
• Term length
• Interest rate: according to each borrower’s risk tier. Higher risk = shorter term, smaller loan, higher rate. Simple.

📋 2. Require Instant Bank Verification (IBV)

Forget stated income. IBV reveals real-time cash flow, payroll deposits, overdrafts, and spending patterns. Tools like Plaid, Argyle, and DecisionLogic are a must. Set strict pass/fail rules:

• No recurring income? No loan.
• 3+ NSF fees in 30 days? Decline.
