Confidently address regulatory stress testing requirements, evaluate the impact of economic shocks on consumer credit risk and develop economically sensitive credit policies with insight into the forecasted probability of default (PD) by FICO® Score range, product type and geography. To meet the Federal Reserve’s stress testing requirements such as CCAR (Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review) and DFAST (Dodd-Frank Stress Testing) forecasted PDs to be used for benchmarking inclusion in stress test models are readily available for each of the three regulatory scenarios; baseline, adverse and severely adverse over the requisite nine quarter horizon. Inform business strategies and capital allocation decisions with forecasted PDs aligned with custom economic scenarios to mitigate losses and improve business results.
Forecast and stress-test consumer credit portfolios Obtain the FICO® Score forecasted probability of default for auto loans, credit card and real estate for your geographic footprint; National, State and MSAs. Forecasted probabilities of default incorporate the Federal Reserve economic variables, Moody’s Analytics subnational economic variables and CoreLogic’s House Price Index.
Improve accuracy and precision in forecasting Count on FICO’s proven patent pending analytic-powered scoring methodology to help make capital allocation decisions with confidence.
Comply with CCAR requirements in a timely manner Receive PD forecasts within days of the Fed’s announced economic scenarios, with quarterly updates for stress testing.
Based on past economic and consumer payment dynamics, FICO has derived an empirical relationship between the default rates observed at different score ranges and historical changes in economic conditions, to project an expected odds-to-score outcome under given economic conditions. FICO’s patented methodology incorporates regional economic variables such as labor market trends, interest rates, GDP, consumer leverage and house price indexes, provided by Moody’s Analytics and CoreLogic®, to model forecasted future probabilities of default. FICO® Score Economic Calibration Service allows you to select from Federal Reserve baseline and stress economic scenarios to custom scenarios to support for multiple business objectives; stress testing, forecasting credit policy development and business planning.
