Credit Scoring
Increased Approval Rates and Reduced Credit Losses:
Transportation Equipment Lender
SITUATION: President of a transportation equipment lender seeks to improve loan-originations process.
CRITICAL ISSUES:
  • The originations process is highly manual.
  • The approval rate is low; some "good" applicants are declined.
REASONS:
  • Manually processing each new application is costly.
  • There is a concern about inconsistent application of credit policy.
  • The lender’s approval rate is far below the company goal.
PAYNET:
  • We retro-tested to find the transportation score for the lender’s booked deals.
  • We analyzed decision-making practices to demonstrate the ability to approve high-quality applicants that were being declined.
  • We recommended a swap set to reject low-quality deals and approve high scores.
RESULT:
  • Credit losses were reduced by 16 percent.
  • Originations were increased by 5 percent.
  • The overall value of this improvement was $2.7 million per year.
