Why FICO?
Your customers are generating a massive amount of data, both with you and elsewhere.
Truly knowing your customers means understanding who they are outside of your direct experiences with them. Tap into the wealth of information available from alternative sources to supplement your machine learning models and AI-powered decision strategies with the most predictive data available. And do it in a way that controls cost. FICO Platform allows you to put decision logic in front of the third-party data request, so you only buy the data you need, when you need it.
“We needed to process applications faster, and approve applications in real time, in line with the Care by Volvo digital vision. Moving to FICO and its cloud-hosted digital decisioning solution gave us the speed and consistency we needed to improve the service and roll it out… We now have a single framework to handle third-party data consistently across countries. This has allowed us to manage our credit policy with a single underwriting team, and yet allow for local market risk needs.”
