Decisioning data and automated credit scoring

In uncertain times, accurate credit scoring models are essential for predicting risk and value. And the more accurate you can be, the more confidence you can have in your scorecards and decisions. With customers and balance sheets both under pressure, not to mention the cost of living crisis, many organisations are prioritising sustainable growth. As a result, continually-updated and automated scoring models are becoming essential, as they are much faster to recalibrate, test and rebuild than traditional models.

Transactional and Open Banking data

To reduce potential friction in the customer journey, it is important to incorporate both traditional and non-traditional data sources into decisioning models. Transactional data (such as transactions, balances and payment history) and open banking data (sourced through APIs) play a critical role, providing insights into a customer’s financial history, allowing financial institutions to make informed decisions about lending.
