Overview
The traditional methods of credit scoring—time-tested and statistically sound—remain excellent ways of assessing the creditworthiness of consumers. FICO Score 8, the dominant credit score in the United States, is leveraged by lenders because it’s a successful metric for profile performance and a reliable predictor of consumer behavior. Even so, the traditional models are ever-evolving, and the use of alternative data sources is opening new lines of business with consumers who have thin or nonexistent profiles.
This Javelin Strategy & Research report takes a deep dive into the realm of credit scoring, looking at how the traditional models have evolved, how alternative scoring methods have found a foothold, new products and innovations in the space, and how lenders can leverage these tools to more effectively serve customers.
Key questions discussed in this report:
- Are credit scores an effective tool for risk management?
- How do alternative credit scores affect the market?
- What new products and innovations are in the credit score market?
