Time for a check-up of your credit scoring system

Article Abstract:

Financial institutions can effectively manage and monitor their credit scoring systems through regular check-ups. Check-ups can help them prepare for the next regulatory examination while boosting the portfolios' overall profitability. According to a May 1997 bulletin issued by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) to all OCC examiners and national banks, properly implemented credit scoring can be useful in managing credit losses, controlling risk selection, assessing new loan programs, expediting loan approval processing, bolstering profitability and improving compliance with fair lending laws. The bulletin, titled 'The Potential Benefits and Risks of Credit Scoring Models,' also identifies potential credit scoring pitfalls and offers recommendations to specific concerns. A seven-point checklist addressing these concerns is presented.
