Credit reference agency Callcredit and Fair Isaac have launched CallScore 2.0, a powerful, next-generation suite of credit risk scores.

CallScore 2.0 has been developed exclusively for Callcredit by Fair Isaac and takes full advantage of analytical techniques in Fair Isaac's industry-proven FICO® scoring technology. Utilizing the availability of new datasets, it delivers significantly more predictive power than its predecessor, CallScore, which is already matching or exceeding the performance of rival scoring models.

Graham Lund, deputy managing director of Callcredit, says, "We are extremely confident in the performance of CallScore 2.0 and, to demonstrate this, we would be delighted to arrange 'retro' tests for any potential user. All they have to do is supply us with a suitable historical sample of credit applicants' details along with a measure of their performance. We can then retrospectively score the sample and provide results that will demonstrate the benefits that CallScore can provide."

CallScore 2.0 combines Fair Isaac's proven, market-leading analytical capabilities with the diversity and richness of Callcredit's data. In particular, it harnesses the predictive power of Callcredit's unique time series data on credit balances, limits and monthly repayments, as well as innovative geo-demographic data from its Cameo and GeoRisk suites.

Brian Cooper, scoring solutions director for Fair Isaac, says, "CallScore 2.0 is the only credit risk score in the UK market that is powered by Fair Isaac's FICO® scoring technology. The enhancements we have built into CallScore 2.0 provide lenders with unprecedented predictive power for highly accurate and consistent credit decisions. For lenders, the outcome is better control of risk, enabling them to profitably grow their markets without introducing new risk."

European payment card processor SiNSYS has successfully implemented Fair Isaac's Falcon™ Fraud Manager to help payment card issuers protect their customers and their portfolios from fraudulent transactions.

With a presence in Belgium, the Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Slovakia, Russia and Ukraine, SiNSYS currently has a portfolio of more than 21 million debit and credit cards that generate more than one billion transactions each year.

A leading Dutch card issuer is the first SiNSYS client to take advantage of Fair Isaac's leading fraud detection system, which currently protects 85% of the credit card transactions in the US and 65% of credit card transactions worldwide.

Fair Isaac and Online Resources Corporation, a provider of web-based financial services, have announced a partnership to accelerate access to industry-leading collections and payment capabilities for hundreds of collection agencies and debt buyers.

The partnership enables users of Fair Isaac's ScoreNet® services to take advantage of Online Resources' unique web-based collections solution. ScoreNet clients benefit from reduced set-up costs, faster implementation, and quick and easy exchange of account data with Online Resources.

"Fair Isaac is removing typical expense and maintenance issues by providing one simple interface for its hundreds of creditors and agencies who wish to avail themselves of the latest in web-based collections and payments technology," says Robert R. Craig, executive vice president and general manager of Online Resources' eCommerce Services. "We are poised to provide ScoreNet clients with an exceptionally effective service to help them maximize their debt recovery."
