Risk

© 2009 Equifax Inc. All Rights Reserved

In a volatile marketplace, effective risk management requires a more in-depth view of consumer credit health. Traditional risk management measures, like credit scores alone, at a single point in time, may not provide enough insight for marketing optimization and profitable portfolio management.

For truly informed decision making, a comprehensive picture of consumer creditworthiness with timely, accurate assessments of liabilities, income and property, behaviors and trends is required. Equifax is your only source for this 360° view of consumer character, capacity and collateral.

The 360 ° Advantage:

Greater consumer credit transparency for enhanced risk assessment through access to a variety of data including:

• Credit information                        • Income/employment verification

• Asset/property data                      • Telco/utility payments

• Credit capacity scores                 • Demographics

• Macroeconomic trending    

• Custom modeling/analytics of your own account data   

Enhanced ROI by streamlining credit-granting processes with automated decisioning and readily available consumer data.

Reduced application fraud and improved collections efforts with access to consumer identificaition and employment information.

The Equifax 360° consumer view can help you to build a detailed consumer "balance sheet" to guide your account opening and loan origination, account/portfolio management, marketing, collections — even compliance — strategies and decisions. Equifax Risk services facilitate faster, more informed decision making, while enabling you to effectually manage risk and maximize growth opportunities.
