TORONTO, Aug. 20, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The newly released Q2 2019 TransUnion (NYSE: TRU) Industry Insights Report shows that overall consumer credit balances continued to grow in the second quarter—up 4.3% compared to the same period a year ago—bringing total outstanding consumer credit to $1.88 trillion. Over the last 12 months, the number of consumers with access to credit also grew, up 1.7% year-on-year (YoY) in Q2 2019. Helped by the continued emergence of FinTech lenders and an increased focus by the whole lending market on subprime and near prime consumer segments, total balances for non-revolving credit products (primarily installment and auto loans but excluding mortgages) increased over the year. The average non-revolving balance per consumer grew 6.2% YoY to $31.4K in Q2 2019.
