A short online assessment of financial attitudes, habits and decision-making. It gives people with no credit file a fair way to show they can be trusted with credit.
A clear, explainable score that can help you serve customers you cannot see today. It has built-in checks for inconsistent answers and for fairness across gender, age, income and education.
FinPsych is designed to evaluate financial-management behaviour, decision-making and financial reasoning without using customers’ mobile-phone activity, browsing history, social-media profiles or social-credit surveillance data for creditworthiness scoring.
Instead, the assessment draws on responses people provide to structured financial questions and reasoning tasks. This is a deliberate distinction from alternative-data approaches that depend on tracking personal digital behaviour.
