First Federal Savings Bank Selects FICO Cloud-Based LiquidCredit Service to Speed Consumer Lending

MINNEAPOLIS – October 10, 2012 – FICO (NYSE: FICO), the leading provider of predictive analytics and decision management technology, today announced that First Federal Savings Bank is implementing the FICO^® LiquidCredit^® service, a cloud-based instant credit decisioning solution, to speed consumer lending decisions. The FICO solution will provide an immediate and cost-effective way for First Federal Savings Bank to measure consumer applicant risk for its auto, home equity and recreational loans.

As part of the FICO LiquidCredit service, First Federal Savings Bank is using FICO^® Consumer Application Risk models. Built from FICO’s analysis of a large pool of consumer loans, the models will help First Federal Savings Bank reduce delinquency and charge-off losses, approve more applicants, increase profitability, streamline operations, cut decision time and ensure regulatory compliance. Leveraging LiquidCredit as a cloud-based service, First Federal will be able to get instant decisions, based on both the models and user-defined strategies, without installing software.
