Radix Analytics Pvt Ltd

Issues & Objectives

  • A large company in UK finances lease of office equipment, primarily to small and medium companies with ticket size less than £10K
  • Leased items depreciates rapidly and seizure of collateral does not recover the debt

  • The company currently cherry picks customers who seldom go bad

  • They want to expand customer base while controlling risk

  • For this they want a scorecard to replace rule driven underwriting for better screening

Challenges

  • Company book identified only 2.5% bad lease – payment history data was fraught with inconsistent figures

  • After incorporating liquidation/insolvency/dissolution status and rating from credit bureau record, the incidence was boosted to 12%. The process classified non takers of loan to Good and Bad by a logical method and not by reject inference
