The company
Access Finance is a consumer finance company offering credit card and lending products to underbanked and underserved customers across emerging markets. The product sits inside the alternative consumer credit category — alongside Klarna, MoneyLion, and regional fintech lenders — and competes on its data-driven underwriting model and its accessibility for customers outside traditional credit footprints.
The customer is a credit-seeking consumer in markets with high demand for accessible credit products. The marketing motion is performance-driven: paid acquisition feeding application volume, with success measured by approval rates and cost per approved customer rather than top-of-funnel metrics.
The problem
Access Finance faced challenges maturing their digital capability and increasing productivity. One main hurdle: merging online and offline data to make data-driven decisions based on key conversion signals. They also struggled with agility in budget allocation and data silos due to lack of systems integration. The bid algorithms were optimizing on application starts — not approved customers — leaving real money on the table.
The work
Our approach involved implementing GA4 as a centralized place for data analysis and activation. We provided consultancy on best practices for analytics and advertising platforms and configured online and offline data collection. The native BigQuery integration unlocked advanced capabilities for the client's data science team via raw GA4 dataset access combining online behavior and CRM events. Access Finance partnered with us to overcome technical challenges like capturing and storing online identifiers required for the measurement protocol — allowing CRM data to enrich the online dataset.
