“Glocal” Credit Bureau Score
A credit bureau score is a statistical indicator of the likelihood a customer will default over the next year on a payment, given that customer’s historical behaviour as evidenced by the credit bureau data. Credit Bureau Scores are invaluable tools to improve the analytical powers of credit risk managers, and implement automated decision policies.
Scores can be either “expert” or “customised”.
The GLocal Credit Bureau Score is an expert score that comes integrated in the C2BS. It is useful as a “start-up” score in situation where no reliable historical data is available. The model was developed using data of different countries in which CRIF has Credit Bureau customers. In the period afert implementation of a new credit bureau solution (3 to 18 months) as data is processed and stored by the bureau, it is possible to perform a validation which consists in testing the “GLocal” score forecasting capability and, if necessary, re-estimating it in order to fine-tune the scorecards weights.
Customised Credit Bureau Score
A credit bureau score is a statistical indicator of the likelihood a customer will default over the next year on a payment, given that customer’s historical behavior as evidenced by the credit bureau data. Credit Bureau Scores are invaluable tools to improve the analytical powers of credit risk managers, and implement automated decision policies.
Scores can be either “expert” or “customised”.
CRIF has an extensive experience in creating customised scores on top of our bureaus. The Perform customised score allows a full rank ordering of any client’s portfolio according to the probability of default of their clients. With customized score cards by product and subject type, the perform score is used by CRIF clients to segment their clients leading to faster and more accurate decisions at all stages of the loan cycle.
