Tap into a range of unique and powerful insights

Geographic Risk Index (GRI)

GRI indicates how likely a consumer is to default relative to the Australian population. illion’s GRI measures the concentration of risk based on all available forms of credit. It then assigns a 0 (Worst) to 100 (Best) rating to each location based on the incidence of credit risk behaviour within an area.

Geographic Transaction Score (Geo iTRS)

By using transaction data to provide a transactional score up to a mesh block level, Geo iTRS provides insights on consumer behaviour not available elsewhere in the market.

Geo iTRS unlocks hidden growth opportunities overlooked by traditional processes, such as the rise of incomes dependent on the gig economy and the uptake of Buy Now Pay Later options.

When combined with GRI, Geo iTRS delivers a significant performance uplift, offering the most predictive and powerful solution for optimal credit risk segmentation and targeting.

Geo Centrelink

Geo Centrelink uses illion’s unique data sources to aggregate and rank all forms of Centrelink customer income data across a geographic area, relative to the Australian Population. Along with other GRI data, it can be used to identify areas of financial hardship.

Credit Demand Index (CDI)

CDI is a geographic propensity index that indicates the likely number of credit enquiries over the next quarter for different credit types. The values indicate how likely an individual is to make a credit enquiry over the next 3 months relative to the consumer average.

CDI is built using multiple data sources, counting all the enquiries with regression modelling at a mesh block level. The CDI index ranges from 1-7, with 1 representing low credit demand and 7 representing high credit demand.
