Affordability Check

Affordability Solutions

Assess your customers' income and affordability

Our data and insight can help you make confident decisions, so you can assess affordability quickly and easily.

Understanding an individual consumer’s creditworthiness and affordability is essential when it comes to finding the right product for the right person. Our data can help you to make confident decisions by allowing you to quickly and easily assess an individual’s ability to repay at the start of a loan and their ability to continually maintain payments.

Affordability performs checks across the credit lifecycle and gives you the following indicators that you can use to understand what customers can and can't afford:

Income verification - using current account information to identify an individual income.

Income estimation - gives an understanding of customer's income and monitors and changes in financial circumstances on an on-going basis.

Debt to income ratios - understand a customer's outstanding debt profile in relation to their income.

Monthly disposable income - assess each customer's monthly affordability situation and ability to pay.
