What can it do for me?

In today’s rapidly changing financial services environment, it is vital for any business that the first interaction with a potential customer meets their expectations in service and speed.

How can we help you?

With increasing competition and higher expectations, the customer acquisition system has to balance the needs of speed, with customers wanting rapid decisions, and risk management, ensuring that sufficient information is collected for an accurate assessment of risk, fraud detection and to create the most appropriate offer. 

If an organisation takes too long to provide funds to the customer, their need for credit could be met from another source with a corresponding effect on profitability. However, without thorough risk assessment and fraud detection the lender’s results will suffer due to increased collections costs, bad debt write-off and fraud losses.

A few key facts

From the point of the first customer contact through to the final decision, the individual receives a smooth application experience.

Experian’s proposition for customer acquisition in unsecured lending brings together robust application processing, data connectivity, decisioning technology and predictive analytics with expert consulting.

Data capture screens allow the accurate input, validation and enrichment of application data to give the right depth of data for decisioning. Workflow functionality drives the application automatically through the process including fraud detection. The solution applies tailored policy rules and calculates multiple scores for objectives including credit risk, indebtedness, risk-based pricing, profitability and Basel II elements.
