Pre-Launch Product Strategy for a Card Fintech

Background: A credit card Fintech hired AQN to evaluate a pre-launch product built around a novel acquisitions and rewards strategy

Outcome: AQN’s work added months to the client’s runway by identifying clear risks and mitigating them with test focused launch strategy

AQN’s Approach:

  • Leveraged deep industry experience to evaluate the  proposed product strategy along with the launch plan, financial models, and performance expectations

  • Delivered educational sessions covering competitive analysis, core credit concepts, organizational strategy, and data strategy

  • AQN built a unit economics model, alongside other micro-strategy models, to measure impacts of a broader range of potential scenarios

  • Assessed credit policy implications of proposed product strategy to deconflict customer incentives

Key Results:

  • Advised client to decrease rewards value to mitigate risk, and to allow them to write simpler terms and conditions

  • Developed a test strategy allowing the client to increase rewards value based on growth and risk performance against expectations

  • Created credit segmentation strategy to optimize both the application experience and the underwriting process for the client’s unique acquisition strategy
