Definition
Credit Scoring AI evaluates loan applications and creditworthiness using machine learning models that analyze traditional and alternative data sources.
How It Works
AI models process hundreds of variables including payment history, income patterns, and behavioral data. They identify complex patterns that predict default risk better than traditional scoring.
The systems can incorporate non-traditional data like utility payments and mobile phone usage for those without credit history.
Why It Matters
AI-powered credit scoring expands access to credit for underserved populations while reducing default rates. It makes lending decisions faster and more accurate.
The technology enables new business models like instant loan approvals and dynamic interest rates.
