While consumer confidence dipped again in July (see the Conference Board Consumer Confidence Index Report), the economy improved enough, driven by easing inflation and continued payroll growth.

Alpharank's first-party data reveals that demand for unsecured lending/personal loans continues, alongside an increase in the volume of approved vehicle loans and deposits.

To win market share in a high-rate environment, you need to be as effective as possible at every stage of your funnel. It’s important to get the most from every dollar you spend to convert more of the business that is out there.

Approved applications for vehicle loans posted double-digit growth in July (versus June), while approved personal loan applications were up 8%. Deposit applications were also up 8%, with home lending flat and approved credit card applications down 4%.
