The Modern Credit Union Circa 2025: A "New/New" Breed?

https://images.angelpub.com/2015/31/32339/fake-unicorn.jpg   Hornless Unicorns?

The Hornless Unicorn**:  a sub-species of unicorn which does not possess any distinctive qualities nor characteristics. 

 

The hornless variety often lacks the strength of spirit, stamina, and vitality of its thoroughbred ancestors. Narcissistic, must be groomed regularly, tends to overeat. Hard to distinguish in a herd, frequently mistaken for the common horse. 

 

Selective breeding experiments have largely failed. The results of these mergings have tended to produce progeny most closely resembling a mule - i.e., half horse and half ass. 


Rapidly declining in numbers, extinction has been predicted.

  3. Ridiculous. An algorithm, which is blind to color, uses no income, demographic or geographic information, and treats people with the same credit data and circumstances EXACTLY the same, cannot be racist. Using scoring models and automation in lending removes human error and bias and eliminates disparate treatment.

    You need to find something or someone else to call racist and blame because the inputs into the algorithm vary by race or other demographics.

    1. Unless the algorithm has bias built into it, whether intentioned or not.

  4. "Its JUST a coincidence the average score of whites (A paper) is 60 points higher than blacks (b paper)".
    Well that sounds like a little white privilege mixed with a side of racism and victim blaming.

    1. Coincidence with what? If the scores are lower as you say, then it's because the credit performance is different. It's not a mystery - it's about level of debt, utilization, type of debt, inquiries, and paying on time. If those things are different among difference races or demographics, there are root causes for that need to be addressed. Not a model issue. It doesn't come up with a different score for white and black people when the inputs are exactly the same.

      You've got all the buzzwords down.. ..not sure who the victim is or who is blaming them. If you're an SECU employee - perhaps just try and understand how it works and focus on helping people you think need help.
