Key Features

Modules

As you may have different business channels, credit types and risks on your customers you can have different rulesets for different purposes. Choose from a selection of modules what data to consider in each ruleset.

Modules on private persons:

Basic Data - name, address, age, statuses and blockers
Credit Data - scoring, payment remarks, debt balance, tax assessment data etc.
Credits Overview Data - granted and utilized credits on Finnish and Swedish persons. (Availability limited to suppliers of data in the bank and finance industry, with a specific permission)
Compliance Data - AML-screening towards PEP and sanctions lists.
Bank Data - transactions data from the applicants bank accounts through PSD2. The applicant grants access with secure identification. See more details here
Your own input data - e.g. data needed for an affordability calculation.
Affordability calculation - a customized module using both D&B data, debt data from external sources and your own data to make an automated affordability calculation for the applied amount. Available on Norwegian private persons. The calculation model is customized in collaboration between D&B and you as a customer. When the model is confirmed you will receive your specification of input and output.

Modules on companies:

Basic Data - name, address, legal form, NACE (SNI), statuses and blockers
Credit Data - rating, scoring, paydex, payment remarks, debt balance, key figures, annual report etc.

Decision

You provide a national identification number (SSN or registration number or D-U-N-S-nr) in the call to the decision service.

D&B collects all the data and makes sure that the modules and rules that you have selected are processed. In return you get a Decision: Approve/Decline/Pending

If you have a ruleset calculating an approved limit or other outcomes, e.g. interest, these outcomes will be added to the response.

Reasons behind the final decision are also provided, as well as other vital data used in the process.

Background data

You can fetch all the details in the datasets behind each module in a background data call.

The decision data and the background data are separated into two calls to improve response time.

Ways of processing a decision

All-in-one process - the most common process. All rules and data are always processed and you get a complete overview as well as full data for future analysis.
Modular process - the process can be set to stop after a module has resulted in Decline. Cost saving and using less data, but also resulting in less data available for investigations, overrides and analytics.
