Credit scoring with open banking: how to assess thin-file borrowers
How lenders use open banking account data to assess income, expenses and affordability for borrowers with little credit history – process, data, risks and rules.
Credit scoring software estimates a borrower's ability and willingness to repay and turns policy into automatic, explainable decisions. Finsora combines rule-based policy, scorecards and AI-assisted models using bureau, open banking and application data, including for thin-file borrowers, and records the reasons for every decision so risk teams can test, monitor and adjust them.
