Experian’s Commercial Risk Scores help you identify changes in your customers’ credit behaviour and manage relationships effectively. They let you see details of each customer’s credit use and repayments to make more informed decisions for new and existing customers, whether you’re growing the account or managing risk. Risk scores are a powerful range of credit scores that enables you to quickly assess the risk within your existing portfolio and/or new credit applications.

Our data assets are real game changers

Businesses financial circumstances change all the time, as they open and close accounts, make payments and use credit limits. The wider their business is spread, the harder it is to get a true picture of their financial behaviour. Detailed information about each individual business means better decision making, whether you’re assessing credit worthiness and risk or marketing a new product or service. By getting continual updates on a customer’s financial wellbeing, you can ensure you treat them appropriately and fairly at all times, allowing you to make the best credit decision at the point of customer application.

Together our data assets are real game changers in credit automation helping lenders streamline their decision processes. Experian not only provides public data but invests heavily in our unique data assets, namely our voluntary CAIS and Payment Performance schemes, supported by mandatory CCDS data (bank CATO and CAIS data).
