The assessment of the users' solvency and interest in receiving financial services is fully automatic. The estimates of their financial health and status are the results of a set of parameters calculated according to the proprietary methodology developed and implemented by CredoLab.
No, the use of the CredoApp does not guarantee the provision of financial services with the Financial Institution the users are applying for.
CredoLab does not provide financial services, nor does CredoLab take decisions on rendering or refusing to provide users of the CredoApp with financial services.
The result of the solvency and credit risk assessment, with the user's consent, is transferred for further decision-making to the bank or lender from which the user intends to receive financial services. Such financial institution independently decides on the possibility of providing the user with financial services.
CredoLab collects users' anonymised data to assess their financial health and status so that financial institutions are able to decide whether or not to grant a loan, a credit card or any other financial services. CredoLab assesses the users' solvency, their probability of default and interest in receiving financial services only in the context of their application for the provision of financial services.
CredoLab values the privacy of borrowers and is committed to keeping their data private and secure. As such, CredoLab will access users' data only after they have agreed to all relevant operating system permissions, given their privacy consent, and after they have clicked on the button that says “proceed with credit analysis”.
Unless otherwise requested by the bank or lender, CredoApp does not extract personal information and does not have names, emails, or phone numbers nor collects, for instance, the list of contacts in the phone book.
The CredoApp accesses and collects anonymised data regarding call history, contacts, SMS history, calendars, and storage. Examples of anonymous data collected are information about incoming and outgoing phone calls, SMS and e-mail messages, data on the use of the internet browser and the geographical position of the mobile device, information about the list of applications installed on the mobile device and the calendar data.
Yes. During the pilot phase and subsequent model development, a client is able to assess and validate the scorecard before putting it into production. CredoLab's integration methods are very flexible and can accommodate the needs of any bank and lender.
We assess and deliver each score in less than 1 minute.
We can be up and running in pilot phase in less than two weeks. With it being a plug and play solution there is no need for long, cumbersome, integration.
CredoLab's score is extremely accurate. We measure the predictive power of our scorecards by assessing the Gini Coefficient. The average Gini coefficient of a bank or lender in an emerging market is 0.27. Because of the nature of the data we use, the models we develop deliver an average Gini coefficients of 30% higher than what the bank / lender currently has.
The CredoApp analyses the smartphone footprint only after the user has granted the required operating system's permissions and given her data privacy consent. Only at this point, the CredoApp proceeds with the credit analysis. The score is provided directly to the lender either via our web-based dashboard or the API. Our plug-and-play solution requires minimal IT integration and is light and fast for the borrower.
Our scoring solution utilises a proprietary Mobile App, CredoApp, developed to enable the launch of a digital scorecard. The app is used during the loan or credit card application process and provides CredoLab with a snapshot of the customer’s digital footprint. In combination with the bank's performance data, this enables the development of robust Big Data-based highly predictive scorecards that enhance the lenders' credit decisioning process.
No. All your personal data like messages & contacts are not accessed. The only information that some jurisdictions may define as personal would include: Android ID number and Geographic location based on file. This information is only used to deter fraudulent behaviour.
Aside from that, the bulk of the data that we collect is considered metadata, which translates to the data about the data. Furthermore, we access only anonymous data which we code them binarily and only after you have agreed to the required Operating System's permissions and granted data privacy consent. In doing so, CredoLab protects your anonymity whilst retaining the ability to detect fraud deriving from particular devices.

CredoLab's scoring algorithm collects millions of data points on average from the smartphone device. The number of data points collected depends on the permissions granted, the operating system (Android, iOS) and its version, and the actual usage of the mobile device. In any case, the more permissions granted, the more accurate the score, the higher your chances of getting a better score.

Credolab agrees, represents, and warrants to provide the Client with quality support and access to knowledgeable personnel at all times. CredoLab provides a multi-level support to the Client executed by the both Customer Success Manager and the Technical Support team. Incoming requests are prioritized according to its scale and duration of impact on production:
CredoLab only reads permissioned information and transforms them into anonymous data about other data (metadata). If you could take a look at the data CredoLab’s scoring algorithm processes, it would be as below:
We have had independent annual auditors (Ernst & Young, (2018) and eShard (2019) verify that our product do not have any exploitable vulnerabilities.
CredoLab follows a pay-per-use business model. You will pay a one-time setup fee and then a fee per score request, just like you would with a credit bureau.
The actual size would depend on the number of permissions your app is allowed to collect. On average, the SDK is about 250kb big and can be operated on both operating systems (iOS and Android).
The process is completed faster than you can say "CredoLab". The app begins accessing data only after the customer has granted the required permissions. Within seconds the score is generated and sent to the underwriter. Do note that all CredoApp does is take a 'snapshot' of the device usage and does not track information over time. Once the score has been successfully sent to the backend, the app is defunct and can be deleted.

There are 4 stages to getting started with CredoLab.
Stage 1: Data Collection
The first stage involves collecting data on your customers. This can be done through CredoWeb, CredoSDK, CredoApp or CredoApply. The objective of this stage is to feed a good sample of data sets to the scoring algorithm in order to build final, custom scorecard for your business. This includes both good and defaulting customers. Ideally, we suggest having at least 300 defaulting customers in the data mix to ensure the algorithm is trained how to identify these customers and flag them. The duration of this stage varies from two to three months depending on the availability of data.
Note: no scores are generated at this stage. Merely collection of data is done to train the scoring machine/algorithm.
Stage 2: Outcome Window
This refers to examining the outcome of the credit disbursed during the start of the data collection stage. The scoring algorithm used this to match the features of applicant to their outcomes. Thus, the more data and their outcomes are fed into the machine, the more comprehensive the learning, and the more accurate the scoring algorithm gets. This stage starts form the first month and can last up to three months depending on the availability or satisfying mix of data to feed into the algorithm.
Stage 3: Model Development
Once we have the data and their outcomes, our standard scoring model is tweaked to customize it for your business, market and objective. The machine/algorithm is trained to identify a defaulting and fraudulent customer from day 1. This stage takes up to one week to complete, depending on the complexity of the features considered for scoring.
Stage 4: Production
After testing the customized scoring algorithm and ensuring it works perfectly, we then roll it out and make it live to be used by you. You can start generating scores now.
The file containing the metadata used to calculate the credit score is no bigger than 120kb.
No. The only time the app is active is when the customer initiates the scoring process. Once the score is sent to the backend, the app is defunct. It does not access any data or remain active in the background. The customer is free to delete the app right after the scoring is done.

CredoLab’s Behavioural Application Analysis is a new solution that assesses users while they apply for a loan or credit card on a lender’s or aggregator’s website. CredoLab’s Behavioural Application Analysis uses behavioural metrics to build profiles of users’ behaviours that include:
Through the behavioural monitoring of a user’s loan or credit card application, we provide lenders with a new credit assessment tool based on users’ actions. We crunch these metrics with an algorithm that also accounts for behavioural variances across platforms and can detect if automated activity might be involved (for instance, a bot for application form completion or past e o r autocompletion tool).
CredoLab’s Behavioural Application Analysis seamlessly integrate in any mobile app and website. It collects behavioural metrics via a simple JavaScript that enriches the credit assessment without introducing any friction in the user experience.
Once downloaded, the ScoreMe requests for permissions to be granted to access the metadata of the smartphone and process the data into a credit score. On approving the access, the customer can immediately see his/her score. The customer is then presented with possible products that they are eligible to apply for. On picking their preferred product, the request for application and the score is sent to your team. This provides a pre-approved list of quality leads for your sales and underwriting team to process further.

With the anonymous approach, CredoLab focuses on protecting the users’ data privacy. Even if users’ data are stolen, it would be impossible to identify neither a user, or any of her contacts, or fetch any other information from a data set. CredoLab does not collect the content of messages or emails, phone numbers, contact names, geolocation or any other personal data.
In order to maintain the anonymity of the applicant, CredoLab connects every end-user's application to a unique identifier generated from the backend by you. This identifier could be the card/loan application number, or any alphanumeric combination. Only you will be able to see who this ID belongs to.
