Portfolio risk scores Retail credit card

Retail credit card performance table
Small Business Credit ShareSM portfolio risk scores harness the power of Experian s commercial credit consortium and advanced analytics to provide Experian s most predictive scores for financial portfolio management.

The retail credit card portfolio risk score predicts the likelihood of a business becoming seriously delinquent on a retail credit card account within the next 12 months. Seriously delinquent is defined as one or more incidences of payment 90 days beyond terms or two or more incidences of payment 60 days beyond terms on retail credit card accounts.

The following performance table is designed to help you set the score ranges that provide optimal results based on your company s credit policy and risk tolerance as you use the Small Business Credit Share portfolio risk scores.

The performance table represents all retail card inquiry performance.
