Open Lending's (NASDAQ: LPRO) second annual Lending Enablement Benchmark Report highlights that three in five automotive lenders are seeing rising delinquencies, driven by prime borrowers. Traditional credit scores are exposing lenders to elevated risks, prompting a call for alternative data usage. The report shows an 8% increase in delinquencies among prime borrowers and a 12% decrease among near and non-prime borrowers. Though 40% of lenders use alternative credit data, there's still room for growth. Slow loan decisions are causing missed opportunities, as only half of lenders provide instant loan rates. The report surveyed 113 senior leaders in the U.S. auto lending industry.
