The Challenge

The Commercial Bank’s lending growth was stagnating across products. Their credit scorecard was built using a simple rules-based approach and they were finding it difficult derive incremental profitability from lending.

They were hampered by only having a limited number of historical data variables available to develop statistical models for more accurate risk profiling.

The Solution — creditX

  • Feature engineering to create sufficient variables for statistical scorecard development
  • Ensemble ML algorithms for higher predictive accuracy
  • Seamless integration with customer’s Datawarehouse, LOS & LMS systems
  • Bias reduction algorithms incorporated into model development process

Generating Incremental Profitability

High accuracy credit modelling has enabled our customer to significantly reduce loss rates, resulting in incremental profitability. Additionally, they have been able to safely trial expansions into new segments with an increase in the approval rate; something that they plan to scale in Phase 2.

Plug & Play Architecture

Despite a rule-based approach to credit scoring, our customer was dependent on IT resources to deploy the scorecard. With creditX’s plug & play approach, our customer was easily able to connect their data and LOS with creditX, removing any need for IT support and enabling one-click deployements of new credit scorecards.
