Can having the same credit score still lead to unequal treatment in lending?🤔 Yes, due to policies like debt-to-income ratios. For instance, if a woman earns 83 cents on the dollar compared to a man in the same job, this income disparity can trigger additional scrutiny or even denial in lending decisions, despite identical debt levels. Mike de Vere, CEO of Zest AI, explains how policies like debt-to-income ratios can disproportionately affect women who earn 83 cents on the dollar compared to their male counterparts.👩💼 Tune in to learn how to advocate for fairer lending practices.💰 🎧Listen Now: https://lnkd.in/gMC8tJzd #PayPod #Payments #SoarPay #HighRiskMerchantServices #CreditRepairProcessing #SecurePaymentProcessing #PaymentGatewaySolutions #MerchantServicesProvider #PaymentProcessors #OnlinePaymentSolutions #RiskManagement #PaymentSecurity #financialmodeling
