With Credolab, Circulo de Credito can deliver to their B2B clients stronger predictive power. The aim is to improve the risk and fraud assessment of any borrower’s likelihood to default. This includes thin-files, gig-economy workers, millennials, small businesses and the unbanked.
Proprietary machine-learning algorithms detect over 10 million behavioural patterns
Credolab says that its platform uses proprietary machine-learning algorithms to detect more than 10 million behavioural patterns. This includes battery usage and the most frequently downloaded app category. This enables financial institutions to make better decisions without processing any personal data. The company’s toolkit is already in use for over 200 corporate clients across 9 verticals in 38 markets. This helps them to gain clear and measurable benefits by delivering outcomes such as up to a 22% drop in fraud costs and up to a 32% increase approval rate.
“The lack of predictive data is still one of the main pain points of any financial institution. What we do at Credolab is help to make proper decisions and generate highly accurate risk portraits for previously ignored potential borrowers by using a previously untapped source of new data – the smartphone. Partnership with Circulo de Credito allows us to promote a greater scope of financial inclusion in Mexico. It helps lenders understand their clients better,” said Peter Barcak, CEO of Credolab.
Circulo de Credito: 200 million credit decisions to date
To date, Circulo de Credito has helped 20 million Mexicans access credit using innovative household data. Its solutions have seen banks and other lenders make 200 million credit decisions. This is equivalent to three times the size of the Mexican active adult population.
