2019How Do Consumers React to Psychometric-Based Credit Scoring?
Nearly 50 million Americans and literally billions more around the world have limited access to affordable credit – primarily due to a lack of credit histories.

Saul Fine at Innovative Assessments shares results from recent surveys that aim to answer that question.
