Risk Scores and Models

Better manage existing accounts, make key account decisions, and identify more profitable customers across product lines. This model helps to predict the likelihood of an existing accountholder becoming 90 days or more delinquent in a 24-month period.

Developed by the three credit reporting companies, TransUnion, Equifax and Experian, VantageScore uses credit data and characteristic leveling to identify consumers likely to become 90 or more days delinquent within a 24-month period. Make more consistent credit decisions by applying the same attributes to different sets of data and simplify decisioning with a single policy that can be used across credit reporting companies.

FICO Risk Scores use information from the extensive TransUnion consumer credit repository to assess a consumer’s risk of severe delinquency–potentially resulting in charge-offs or bankruptcy–over a 24-month period. FICO scores help identify and separate reliable borrowers from those likely to become 90 or more days delinquent. Various scores including FICO® 8 are available from TransUnion.

This incidence-based risk model offers increased predictive strength to help you better identify prospects, applicants or existing accountholders most likely to file bankruptcy within a 12-month timeframe. Leverage this solution in conjunction with a delinquency risk model to enhance predictive capabilities.
