Donald Trump The app, now available through major mobile app stores, will serve as the primary platform for families to manage and activate Trump Accounts.

Credit Where Credit's Due

  Credit Where Credit's Due   Credit reports 101 Used to calculate credit scores   and determine creditworthiness, credit reports are comprehensive documents that detail the credit history of a person or business, including current and former lines of credit, bankruptcy records, and more.  Credit assessments actually started in the 1700s   as a way to evaluate businesses’ financial standing rather than consumers’. The early 1800s brought efforts to standardize the credit reporting system as more businesses were started that needed loans, and the labor movement’s success in the second half of the 1800s led to an increased need for standardized c...

47-Second Loan Décisions. Underwriting in Minutes. How AI is Revolutionizing Turnaround Time in Mortgage Lending

May 27, 2026 CU Today TORONTO–While AI has been deployed across a host of back office functions, on the consumer-facing side its promise is increasingly being seen in mortgage lending, where lenders are promising mortgage approval decisions in as little as 47 seconds, reporting that up to a third of inquiries are now being handled by chatbots, and slashing underwriting time to just minutes. Toronto-based TD Bank Group said it has also deployed its first agentic artificial intelligence system in mortgage lending, reducing the time required to prepare applications for underwriting from an average of roughly 15 hours to less than three minutes. According to a statement from TD Bank, the new AI model automates mortgage pre-adjudication — the process that occurs before a human underwriter reviews an application. The bank said the system classifies borrower documents, extracts and validates financial information, calculates income, performs policy and consent checks, identifies discrepancie...

‘Statistically Better Than Humans’: Revolut Says AI Is Transforming AML Monitoring

5/25/2026 08:36 am     WASHINGTON—Artificial intelligence is now outperforming humans in some key areas of financial crime compliance, according to American Banker, which reported comments from Revolut U.S. CEO Cetin Duransoy during Semafor’s Banking on the Future Forum in Washington. Duransoy said AI-driven transaction monitoring at the fintech performs “statistically significantly better than human reviews of the transactions,” allowing human investigators to focus on more complex cases. Duransoy said AI has evolved from a supplemental tool into “core infrastructure” at Revolut, helping the company manage regulatory requirements across 39 countries while also supporting know-your-customer and anti-money-laundering functions. He added that every employee at the company now uses AI in some capacity, including customer service systems powered by large language models that generate responses using actual account information. The executive also warned that financial institutions ...

AI Rapidly Reshaping How Consumers Discover, Compare & Choose Banking Products (But Trust Remains an Issue)

  Frank Diekmann May 26, 2026 SYDNEY — Artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping how consumers discover, compare and select banking products, forcing financial institutions to rethink their digital marketing and customer acquisition strategies, according to a new report from Bain & Company .  The report, titled “How AI Rewrites the Rules of Brand Discoverability in Banking,” found that AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Claude and Google Gemini are increasingly acting as the first point of contact between consumers and banks, particularly in Australia, where consumers are using the technology to evaluate products, interpret fees and even prepare applications for loans and credit cards.  According to Bain & Company, the traditional banking sales funnel — once driven by branches, brokers, advertising and search engine rankings — is rapidly shifting toward AI-generated recommendations and responses. ‘Increasingly Influencing Choice’ “AI assistants increasingly influen...

Sunday Reading - Changing the Map

  Changing the Map     Redistricting, explained Congressional redistricting is the process by which states redraw electoral district boundaries   that determine representation in the US House of Representatives. The Constitution, federal law, and court rulings require districts to have roughly equal populations, avoid discrimination against racial or language minorities, and, in most states, be geographically contiguous. For most of American history, redistricting has followed a predictable cycle, occurring every 10 years after the census.   Gerrymandering is the deliberate manipulation of district boundaries to advantage one political party. Common tactics  by both major American political parties include packing opposition voters i...

Supplemental Capital to be Considered by NCUA

Supplemental Capital At the NCUA’s October board meeting, senior staff of the NCUA submitted a briefing report (the “Report”) to the NCUA Board (the “Board”) on the issues concerning the use of supplemental capital by federally insured credit unions (“FICUs”).  The use of supplemental capital presents a number of regulatory and policy issues that would need to be addressed prior to authorizing this form of capital for all FICUs.  The Board considered issuing an advanced notice of proposed rulemaking (“ANPR”) in the near future which would give credit unions and the public the opportunity to provide comment before the proposed rule stage.  Supplemental capital does not provide any capital support under the NCUA’s net worth requirements because it does not count as equity under generally accepted accounting principles, but it would allow FICUs to have a greater concentration of member business loans and long term mortgage loans since it could be used by FICUs to meet...

Cox Lowers Auto Sales Forecast as Rates Rise, 'Outlook Worsening'

Economist says auto loan rates will rise to a 21-year high by year’s end. Interest rates for cars are likely to hit 21-year records by the end of the year, further raising monthly payments and driving down sales as many buyers hold on to aging vehicles a little longer, Cox Automotive analysts said Wednesday. During Cox Automotive’s forecast call, the analysts announced lower forecasts on both new and used vehicles for 2022, compared with its previous quarterly forecast in June . New car sales that in June had been expected to fall 3.4% to 14.4 million this year are now expected to fall 8.1% to 13.7 million. Used car sales that in June had been expected to fall 8.6% to 37.1 million are now expected to fall 10.6% to 36.3 million. The forecast for new car sales was reduced for the third time this year not only because supply shortages haven’t improved as much as expected, but also because higher rates are driving up monthly payments. Cox Automotive Chief Economist Jonathan Sm...

Fed will not be raising rates any time in the near future!

WASHINGTON (AP) — Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell told Congress on Wednesday that the central bank will not start raising interest rates until it believes its goals on maximum employment and inflation have been reached. Powell also warned that many who had worked in industries hardest hit by the pandemic and ensuing recession will likely need to find different jobs. As he did before the Senate Banking Committee on Tuesday, Powell told the House Financial Services Committee that the Fed is in no hurry to raise its benchmark short-term interest rates or to begin trimming its $120 billion in monthly bond payments used to put downward pressure on longer-term rates. Financial markets, which had begun to wane Tuesday on fears that higher inflation might trigger an earlier-than-expected tightening of credit conditions by the Fed, rebounded on Powell’s comments. That trend extended into Wednesday with the S&P 500 index rising more than 1 percent. Powell said the Fed does not see any...

The Rebounding Relevance of Adjustable-Rate Mortgages = By Kevin Hearden & Steve Rick

  This traditional mortgage lending product could help CUs attract high-contributing members and boost much-needed interest income. By Kevin Hearden & Steve Rick | August 19, 2022 at 03:33 PM Today, nearly three-quarters (72%) of credit unions’ total revenues come from interest income. So, when interest earnings as a percent of assets dropped almost 30% in April of this year, more than one alarm bell sounded within the movement. Credit union leaders across the country are rightly concerned about the sustainability of mortgage lending within what is already a highly competitive environment. In fact, lending executives participating in a May 2022 MGIC survey ranked the expected difficulty of 2022 at an eight out of 10. And while shiny startup strategies for boosting interest income make the headlines, it may be the resurgence of a traditional mortgage lending product that makes the difference. Borrowers Give ARMs a Fresh Look We’re talking, of c...
