Functionality that delivers your goals

What is trended data?

Trended data provides insights into how consumers manage credit over time, typically a 24-72 month period. It identifies patterns in payment behaviour, such as consistently paying above the minimum or showing signs of payment stress.

By analysing these trends, lenders can make informed and fair decisions, better understand consumer habits, and offer tailored financial products.

Features of trended data

Trended data includes historical payment information and can incorporate additional data elements like rental payment histories in addition to:

  • Balance Amount
  • Credit Limit/Original Loan Amount
  • Scheduled Payment Amount
  • Actual Payment Amount
  • Last Payment Date

Using this comprehensive data, lenders can:

  • Assess credit behaviour over time to identify trends like improving or deteriorating credit habits.
  • Differentiate consumers with similar credit scores, offering suitable products based on unique behaviours.
  • Identify payment stress indicators, such as only meeting minimum payments or declining payment amounts.
  • Increase credit access for applicants with ‘thin file’ histories by incorporating alternative data sources, improving overall inclusivity in lending.

How can we help?

Experian offers a range of trended data scores and attributes for the acquisition and management of consumers that eliminate the need for you to spend time analysing an enormous amount of information.

Our trended data variables take the 72-month history of key fields, balance, credit limit, minimum payment indicators, actual payment amount and last payment date, extended arrears histories, and estimated spend, to produce valuable insight into an individual’s payment behaviour that has been included into our latest scores.

With these new insights you can understand not only what a consumer looks like now, but also how they got there so you can predict where they are going.
