Migration capability that identifies changes in consumer credit behavior
Maximize your credit relationships with your customers and prospects as their credit behavior changes over time.
Credit Migration SolutionsSM monitors and compares a consumer's credit behavior changes over time to reveal how consumers are performing and how their profiles are changing.
Features and Benefits
Experian’s Credit Migration SolutionsSM for Portfolio Management can help you maximize your relationships with customers as their credit behavior changes over time. This capability can be used to alert you to changes in consumer credit scores, credit balances, utilization and other attributes. Credit Migration SolutionsSM helps you retain and grow profitable customers while safeguarding your portfolio from high-risk consumer accounts.
Process
To begin using Credit Migration SolutionsSM, first choose the desired migration thresholds and monitoring frequency (weekly, monthly, quarterly) for each score and attribute to be monitored. Within Experian’s QuestSM product, an initial portfolio base line is established. The system then compares the base line with a similar file at the desired frequency. Scores and attributes that meet the threshold criteria are flagged. For subsequent comparisons, the similar file becomes the base line.
- For batch-delivered Quest programs, the Credit Migration SolutionsSM elements will be appended and delivered within a defined output layout
- For delivery with trigger notifications, the Credit Migration SolutionsSM data can be output directly through the Notification Services platform or optionally integrated with predefined hierarchies and cool-offs already set up for triggers and then delivered with regular output
