SCHUFA and Fair Isaac Partner to Help German Financial Institutions Turn Analytics into Competitive Advantage

(Wiesbaden, Germany and Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA) - Germany's premier credit services provider SCHUFA and Fair Isaac Corporation (NYSE:FIC), the leading provider of analytics and decision management technology, today announced their collaboration to help German financial services providers manage credit risk and prevent fraud. SCHUFA is the leading provider of consumer credit information, scoring and decision management services to Germany's financial institutions.

Under terms of the multi-year agreement, SCHUFA and Fair Isaac will jointly pursue business opportunities in the German credit market by marketing and selling Fair Isaac's solutions and tools for Enterprise Decision Management (EDM). EDM is a business approach that automates, improves and connects decisions across the consumer credit lifecycle. By expanding the reach of Fair Isaac's proven predictive analytics and decision technologies in the German market, the collaboration will enable banks and retail credit grantors to make more precise, consistent and agile lending decisions in originations, customer management, and collections and recoveries.

"Over the past years, SCHUFA has been a strong solutions provider for the German credit market," said Rainer Neumann, Chairman of the Executive Board, SCHUFA Holding AG. "Building upon our unique database, we have developed effective solutions for the evaluation of credit decisions for mass markets. This new partnership now significantly enriches the portfolio of products and services that we are able to offer financial institutions in Germany. Together with Fair Isaac, SCHUFA sets out on the important course for future growth on the product side. We look forward to a long and successful relationship."

Aggressive consolidation, fierce competition and increasing regulation require banks to more effectively assess risk and integrate sophisticated risk management practices across the enterprise and throughout the banking customer lifecycle. Leveraging SCHUFA's comprehensive credit data as the analytic foundation for Fair Isaac's advanced risk and decision management technology, the collaboration provides German financial service providers with a powerful and comprehensive resource to meet their growth goals without exposing operations to needless risk.

"As the consumer debt landscape rapidly changes, banks in Germany understand that future growth and even survival will depend on their ability to make smarter decisions faster in increasingly complex lending environments," said Robert Duque-Ribeiro, vice president and managing director of Europe, Middle East and Africa Markets at Fair Isaac. "Together, SCHUFA and Fair Isaac offer an unparalleled breadth and depth of capabilities that deliver breakthrough value to financial institutions. Tapping into SCHUFA's extensive local market knowledge enables us to tailor our proposition to best meet specific local market needs."

In addition to jointly selling and marketing Fair Isaac's analytic solutions in the German market, the companies plan joint integration initiatives. Working in concert with Fair Isaac Professional Services, SCHUFA consultants will provide first-level local implementation and language support to quickly help banks derive full value from their technology investments.
