personas

  • title: Head of credit risk at a lender
    pains:
    • Traditional credit files may miss a borrower's current income and transaction history.
    • Risk teams need usable indicators rather than raw, inconsistent financial data.
  • title: Fintech CTO or engineering lead
    pains:
    • Maintaining separate financial institution integrations consumes engineering time.
    • Country-specific coverage, consent and reliability complicate a launch.
  • title: Payments or growth product manager
    pains:
    • Card-related churn and failed recurring payments reduce collections.
    • Onboarding or checkout friction prevents users from completing a flow.

objections

    response: Review consent management, retention, security documentation and local regulatory responsibilities with Belvo.
