Description

Brief Excerpt from Industry Overview Chapter:

Companies in this industry provide secured and unsecured loans and other credit and financing products but do not act as depository banks. Major companies include US-based American Express, Capital One Financial, Discover Financial, OneMain Holdings, and SLM (better known as Sallie Mae), as well as Housing Development Finance (India) and Provident Financial (UK).

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE

Demand is driven by interest rates, consumer confidence, and capital spending by businesses. The profitability of individual companies depends on their ability to originate, service, and collect loans, as well as to collect fees and interest on credit and other financing products. Large companies have economies of scale in securing access to capital. Small companies can compete effectively by specializing. The US industry is highly concentrated: the top 50 companies account for about 80% of revenue.

PRODUCTS, OPERATIONS & TECHNOLOGY

Major products and services include residential mortgage loans which accounts about 30% of the industry revenue, followed by credit card services (about 20%). Other products include consumer vehicle loans and loans to non-financial businesses, among other offerings.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
