Experian-Interfax broadens its services
The Experian-Interfax credit bureau has completed the integration of a credit bureau system and the Acquire SM loan applications processing and decision support system developed by Experian-Scorex
“The new system based on solutions tried and tested in dozens of countries has no analogues in Russia and is committed to radically improving the efficiency of interaction between banks and the credit bureau,” said Vladimir Gerasimov, Experian-Interfax Member of the Board.
“The integration of the Acquire SM system and the credit bureau’s system should provide more convenience to Experian-Interfax clients. The bureau's data can now be automatically used in evaluating credit applications submitted to a bank and calculating the scoring. Thus, the whole decision-making process and the evaluation of the borrowers’ creditworthiness will be short in time,” Gerasimov said.
Experian-Interfax now has 1.5 million records and works together with 170 lending institutions, including major banks operating in the consumer loans sector.
Acquire SM is based on the software product Transact SM, which is successfully used globally and by major Russian banks. However, unlike Transact SM, which needs to be integrated in a bank’s operational infrastructure, Acquire SM is available through a web-interface, which significantly reduces the lending institutions’ costs. The product is completely adapted to the Russian market and includes a Russian-language interface.
Experian-Scorex clients in Russia are the leading operators on the banking, financial, and telecommunications services markets.
