Fits: Finance & accounting · Sales

Loan applications and instalment purchases are checked faster and more consistently, and every rejection can be explained to the customer in an understandable way. Credit decision-makers concentrate on the cases that need a real judgement.

Is this for you?

  • You check many similar applications, e.g. instalment loans or instalment purchases in online retail.
  • You have a credit risk department that can check and explain models, and well-established cooperation on data protection and supervisory matters.
  • You are prepared to have every rejection reviewed by a human if the customer wants this, and to state the reasons in an understandable way.
First step today

Without customer data: write down the characteristics that go into your score or a planned model, and use the template below to check them for predictive value, hidden discrimination and explainability. You also get a standard text block for understandable rejections.

How to go about it

  1. Set out the purpose and characteristics of the score
  2. Get the legal position clear before you start
  3. Check application data for gaps and bias
  4. The score suggests, the credit decision-maker decides
  5. Inform applicants in an understandable way
  6. Check decisions for fairness regularly
