Ensure your scorecards are still fit for purpose

We all work in a constantly changing market place and an evolving economic climate

Staying one step ahead of emerging trends with on-going analysis of your scorecards and decision-making policies will help ensure that you safeguard your customers, protect your business and your cash flow.

Our scorecard health check service will provide you with a clear view of the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of how your scorecard is used within your current decision making process. It provides critical insight that indicates your exposure to risk, the strengths of your current decision process and efficiencies that will help you stay one step ahead of the competition.

How it works

Experian will work with your organisation to customise a scorecard health-check report that will highlight potential opportunities to enhance your decision-making.

There are four key stages to the Health-Check service:

  • Benchmarking against market peers - Provides insight into how your portfolio compares to your peers within the market. This could highlight where to focus actions as part of the overall road-map.
  • Is your scorecard performance optimal? Review how scorecards are performing against business goals and expectations.
  • Can policy and strategy rules be enhanced? Ensure that your current policy and strategy rules are being applied effectively and taking into account current market conditions which may impact scorecard discrimination and decision-making.
  • Enhanced policy rules can help to focus underwriters on applications where they can have the most benefit.
  • Assess potential opportunity from new data sources - Review of where potential uplift could be obtained through provision of new / different data assets.

Given early signs of economic growth recent emphasis has been on increasing approvals through acquisition strategy. Experian has been able to illustrate that re-developing acquisition scorecards coupled together with the usage of new data assets could deliver in excess of a 5% increase in approvals for no predicted impact to your exposure to risk.
