A recent report by Consumer Finance Insights highlights significant gaps in technology application across the home improvement lending sector, emphasizing the urgent need for modernization. Additionally, recent findings by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) highlight the increasing threat of fraud in home improvement sectors such as HVAC, roofing, and solar.
