Custom Model Input - ID Network Attributes deliver significant, incremental predictive performance as a model input.
"In today's challenging credit environment, financial institutions need to assess not only the credit worthiness of applicants but also the risk of fraud at issuance and throughout their relationship," said Jason Malo , research director, CEB TowerGroup. "Fraud management strategies must be informed by an understanding of identity at a level of granularity beyond the individual, to include the history of singular attributes they use to identify the person."
