Teletrack's
extensive non-traditional consumer databases include hundreds of
millions of consumer credit records from more than 15,000
sources across the US.
MicroBilt Corporation is partnering
with Teletrack to provide
credit history information compiled from payday lenders and
other non-traditional reporting sources. With lenders of all
types tightening the reins on extending credit, the ability to
originate more loans without increasing risk helps lenders stay
profitable and enables more borrowers to make purchases and
invest in their own ventures.
Alternative credit sources can help manage risk in many aspects
of business from extending credit and originating loans to
collections. Expanded data sources leverage a variety of
information such as existing open loans, previous credit
inquiries, discrepancies with social security numbers, inclusion
on federal watch lists and landlord/tenant conflicts.
"The challenge is to expand the base of usable credit history to
get an accurate assessment of risk without relying solely on
traditional sources of consumer data," says Walt Wojciechowski,
CEO of MicroBilt. MicroBilt is incorporating a broader set of
reliable databases such as those maintained by Teletrack to give
lenders more confidence and allow more people to keep spending
money and fueling the economy in spite of not having well
documented credit histories."
Focused on consumers with limited credit profiles, Teletrack
delivers management solutions for non-traditional lending
markets including payday loan companies, rent-to-own stores,
non-traditional credit consumer finance businesses, non-prime
auto lenders and credit unions. A subsidiary of risk management
leader First Advantage Corp. (NASDAQ:FADV), Teletrack delivers
unique data and decisioning solutions incorporating credit
inquiries, account charge-offs, paid charge-offs, and open loan
data from businesses dealing primarily with high-risk, non-prime
consumers. Teletrack's extensive non-traditional consumer
databases include hundreds of millions of consumer credit
records from more than 15,000 sources across the US.
"We identified an unmet need for specialized, dedicated credit
reporting on consumers with inconsistent credit histories or
unique financial needs, and we deliver information gathered from
businesses nationwide that isn't available from other sources,"
says Rich Alterman, Senior Vice President of Product Management
at Teletrack, Inc. "The profitability and survival of many
businesses depends on being able to extend credit to consumers
with less extensive credit histories and the information we
provide helps them take on many more customers that couldn't
qualify for credit otherwise."
