RiskView™ Attributes

RiskView™ Attributes offer an extensive library of public record-based traits on individuals available to organizations for use in their internal credit scoring models. These non-tradeline attributes have proven to be very effective for lenders in developing credit decisioning models or as an integrated enhancement to existing models. They can help improve risk assessment up front and help to anticipate potential risk in current customers by monitoring changes in their profiles and certain life events. RiskView Attributes can be effectively leveraged in all three phases of the prospect-customer relationship: prescreening, account origination, and account management activities.

The most recent version has expanded to more than 300 RiskView Attributes. These FCRA attributes have proven to be very predictive for lenders when running internal credit decisioning models and can be effectively leveraged in prescreening, account origination, and account management activities.
