CoastHills utilizes a credit scoring model to evaluate applications for consumer credit products. A credit scoring model is an automated system that evaluates an applicant’s creditworthiness based on key attributes of the applicant and aspects of the transaction in conjunction with an evaluation of income, assets, liabilities and additional information about the applicant, to determine whether an applicant is creditworthy.
More practically, credit scoring is the process of collecting information on an applicant including credit history, analyzing that information, assessing the risk involved in extending credit to the applicant, and making a decision to accept or decline the applicant based on the assessed risk.
