Use Case
Call the Credit Assessment API for a bureau-plus-alternate-data score, and apply it however your risk policy requires.
The Problem
Static risk models miss real portfolio risk
- Bureau-only scoring misses thin-file and new-to-credit customers
- Assembling alternate data (GST, banking, utility) across vendors is manual and slow
- Portfolio monitoring happens quarterly instead of continuously, because re-checking is expensive
The FinHub Approach
Explainable risk data, applied on your terms
The Credit Assessment API blends bureau and alternate data into a single, explainable score. Your team decides how to apply it and how often to re-check accounts.
- Bureau data blended with GST, banking and utility signals in one API response
- Explainable scores your team can present to a model risk committee
- Call the API on whatever schedule your portfolio monitoring policy requires
