Decision Metrics

A tailored view of core bank data

illion’s Decision Metrics can be used to more deeply assess the risk, liquidity and serviceability of your customers. Our metrics place the data you need at your fingertips for smarter lending decisions, driving your credit business further, faster. These metrics have been developed around customer requirements and, given our sizeable customer base, they’re considered to be best practice options.

How it works
Our data-driven decision metrics and pattern analysis utilise categorised transaction data to provide you with a tailored view of account holder information. The metrics are specific data points that can be customised based on your requirements.

Once your core banking transactions have been categorised, we run pattern analysis over the data, resulting in a series of intelligent data points that can be matched to your credit decisioning model
