Callcredit to move scorecard development in-house DecisionMetrics to provide credit risk scoring technology and expertise

08 April 2008

Callcredit has today announced that it has appointed DecisionMetrics, a sister company within the Skipton Information Group, as its primary bureau scorecard supplier. DecisionMetrics will be responsible for the development and supply of bureau credit risk scoring technology. Fair Isaac and Callcredit will continue to support the existing clients using the CallScore technology throughout 2008 and into 2009.

Graham Lund, deputy managing director, Callcredit comments, “We’ve had a very successful partnership with Fair Isaac for over five years and we will continue to partner with Fair Isaac in other mutually rewarding areas. DecisionMetrics has built its reputation on its credit scoring technology and having acquired the business back in 2007, we were soon aware that their expertise and pedigree in this area is exceptionally strong. ”

Gary Scott, director, DecisionMetrics comments, “As conditions in the credit markets show no signs of loosening, the ability to depend on robust, resilient customer risk categorisation to optimise profits in both new lending and customer management is increasingly key. DecisionMetrics have developed an industry- leading understanding of advances in scoring as we have continued to refine our work in multi bureau technology over the last few years, making us ideally placed to assist Callcredit’s clients to optimise their position in the market under these conditions”.
