"Detecting First-Party Misuse of Credit Before It Does Damage"

As credit applications rise, so does first-party credit misuse--a risk traditional scores may miss. This guide reveals how alternative data can help you identify high-risk applicants at origination, protecting your business from costly defaults.

In today's competitive lending market, a new high-risk applicant has emerged: consumers applying for credit with no intention to repay. This first-party credit misuse can be difficult to detect with traditional fraud detection strategies.

To avoid significant losses, you must adapt your risk assessment process.

This guide explores how adding a critical layer of protection to your origination process can help you more accurately vet credit-seeking applicants. You’ll gain insights into what’s driving this spike in credit fraud, how it affects your business, and what you can do to mitigate it.
