Frequently Asked Questions
General Information
Uplinq offers two types of scores. One is a probability of default (PD score) for banks and non-bank lenders to assess the risk behind a SMB loan application. Lenders can use it across the lending lifecycle for underwriting at origination, for portfolio monitoring, to find up-sell and cross-sell opportunities and targeting.
The second, called Power, is the Gini/KS value and helps explain the variability in credit risk. Uplinq uses proprietary methods to provide very high Gini values while being compliant with IFRS9, Basel III and SR 11-7 standards.
Uplinq provides score and rich analytics in real-time via REST APIs.
