Frequently Asked Questions

Universal models offer off-the-shelf, pre-built ITA models that enable quicker fulfillment time for lenders that want to initiate an ITA campaign sooner rather than later. They are more cost-effective than custom models.

A custom model utilizes a lender’s unique Prescreen criteria and customer profile data to inform model development, plus allows for more model refinement capabilities. Custom models also enable clients to reach ITA prospects via the appropriate channel based on past Prescreen responders.

Clients can choose the desired count and geography for their target prospect list. They can also trim their list by defined measures; for example, only target consumers with Income360 Complete (estimated household income) greater than $85,000.

Clients need to provide their firm’s approve/decline criteria and channel propensity of past responders/converters (direct mail, email, digital). Clients can optionally provide additional criteria such as high spenders or high customer value segments.

Strategies to boost your ITA efforts can include:

  • Test sending offers via only email and digital. Evaluate if you can save the expense of direct mail.
  • Use segmentation clusters (Economic Cohorts, Financial Cohorts) to tailor messages and creative to the audience.
  • Leverage our Campaign Insights Dashboard powered by Equifax Ignite to assess ITA campaign results and easily integrate learnings into future campaigns.
