FinancialRiskScoreSM Plus Driven By D&B Data
Proven to be the most predictive for managing existing customer risk and allows more accounts to be scored.What Is FinancialRiskScore Plus?
FinancialRiskScore Plus is a statistical commercial collection and portfolio management model for commercial credit cards, installment loans and lines of credit. The model predicts the probability of severe delinquency (you determine bad definition) or loss at some point between six and twenty-four months from the date of the score. This multifunctional model helps banks and financial services companies implement risk-based collections and can be used for new credit authorizations with existing customers, portfolio management and credit line management.
Scoring Is Not A One Size Fits All Technology
There are scores designed for specific applications and there are different methodologies. The two primary uses of scoring for banks and financial services companies are new account evaluation and portfolio credit and collection management. The primary scoring methodologies are judgmental/rules based and statistical based. The bureau/generic scorecards and FinancialRiskScore Plus are statistical based models, but bureau/generic scorecards are traditionally designed for new account risk assessment, because they do not use customer payment data, which is the most predictive for existing account risk assessment.
