Cash flow underwriting

Cashflow Score

A standardized score for cash flow underwriting, built entirely from transaction data.

Cashflow Score is for consumer lending only. Score applicants from account and transaction data alone: a 1 to 100 risk score, where a higher score means lower risk, with explainable cash flow drivers and no lender performance history required to start.

WHY THIS EXISTS

Standardized cash flow scoring from transaction data alone

Cashflow Score is a standardized 1 to 100 risk score for consumer lending, built entirely from account and transaction data. The model is already built, so it scores applicants immediately: no bureau file, no lender performance history and no PII required. It runs alongside the bureau scores, policy rules and models you already use, adding an explainable cash flow view rather than replacing any of them.

What your systems receive, and what you still control

Your decision engine and scorecard receive the score and its five behavioral drivers by API or batch, as an additional input alongside the risk data you already use.

Portfolio analytics

Cashflow Score is delivered by API or batch and sits alongside your bureau score, rules and existing models. You retain control of policy, cutoffs and final decisions.

What makes this different

No performance history required

The model is already built and standardized, so you can score applicants before you have a book of your own outcomes to train on.

Transaction data only

Account and transaction data is sufficient. No bureau file and no PII are required.

Explainable across five behavioral areas

Velocity, Liquidity, Stability, Leverage and Resilience, each with a named driver and a plain-English reason rather than an opaque number.

Complements what you already run

It is not a bureau score. It adds a cash flow view alongside bureau scores, policy rules, scorecards and existing models.

EVIDENCE

Validate the score on your own book before you deploy it

Assess the score retrospectively on applications you have already decided. Score that history, compare the score against the outcomes you recorded, and measure separation on your own population. Your risk team sees how the score ranks your own applicants before it influences a live decision.

How retrospective validation runs
Step 1Score already-decided applications
Step 2Compare with recorded outcomes
Step 3Measure separation on your data

Illustrative of the process, not a report of results. Separation is measured on your own historical outcomes.

NEXT STEPS

What to pair with Cashflow Score

Start fast on transaction data alone. As you build enough of your own repayment history, move to the Credit Risk Model for a lender-specific view calibrated to your book. Financial Health Summary and Cashflow Servicing extend the same transaction data further into attribute-level underwriting and portfolio monitoring.

Frequently asked questions

Is Cashflow Score a bureau score?
No. It is a separate, standardized score built only from account and transaction data. It complements bureau scores rather than replacing them.
Does it verify income?
No. It assesses income patterns and stability from transaction behavior.
Do we need our own lending history to use it?
No. The model is already built and standardized, which is why it can score applicants from day one.
What data do you need, and is PII required?
Account and transaction data, de-identified. No PII is required.
Can it run alongside our existing scorecard?
Yes. It is delivered by API or batch as an additional input to the rules, scorecards and models you already run.
When would we choose a lender-specific model instead?
Once you have enough of your own repayment history to train on, a lender-specific model calibrated to your book becomes the better fit. See "What to pair with Cashflow Score" above for how the two work together.
