Key enhancements to RiskRatio™ include:
GRANULAR DELINQUENCY INSIGHTS: Expanded delinquency categories—30+ Days Past Due (DPD), 60+ DPD, 120+ DPD, ChargeOff + Bankruptcy, and Bankruptcy—offer more precise identification of credit risk trends. Identifying these delinquency trends sooner allows lenders to provide targeted interventions to borrowers earlier.
ENHANCED RISK SEGMENTATION BY PRODUCT: The addition of Mortgage product segmentation—covering First Mortgages, HELOCs (home equity lines of credit), and HELOANs (home equity loans)—provides deeper insights into borrower behavior across product types. The additional segmentation capacity helps lenders make timely adjustments to lending policies in response to shifts in the marketplace.
SHORTER PERFORMANCE WINDOWS FOR EMERGING TRENDS: In addition to the existing 24-month performance window, RiskRatio™ now also includes 6-month and 12-month performance windows. These additional options help lenders detect shifts in delinquency rates more quickly, providing insight into the potential impact of changes to lending policies or economic events.
