Risk models stand the test of time

by Guest Contributor 1 min read July 21, 2016

As credit behavior and economic conditions continue to evolve, using a model that is validated regularly can give lenders greater confidence in the model’s performance. VantageScore® Solutions, LLC validates all its models annually to promote transparency and support financial institutions with model governance.

The results of the most recent validation demonstrate the consistent ability of VantageScore® to accurately score more than 30 million to 35 million consumers considered unscoreable by other models — including 9.5 million Hispanic and African-American consumers.

The findings reinforce the importance of using advanced credit scoring models to make more accurate decisions while providing consumers with access to fair and equitable credit.
