Galileo afirma que o crédito garantido está pronto para voltar
Os cartões de crédito garantidos, em teoria, são um produto extremamente útil, especialmente para consumidores com acesso limitado aos serviços financeiros. Na prática, porém, eles têm sido prejudicados por obstáculos como processos de onboarding complicados, contas de garantia bloqueadas e um estigma que afastou muitos consumidores. "O produto em si nunca foi o problema", afirmou Shankar Pandravada, diretor sênior de Gestão de Produtos da Galileo Financial Technologies, ao PYMNTS. "A experiência era o problema."
