Introducing One Score: Equifax’s most predictive credit score ever
CreditWorks members will now have direct access to OneScore – Equifax New Zealand’s latest and most predictive consumer credit score. One Score is designed to predict the risk of an individual becoming 90+ Days Past Due with account repayments.
The development of One Score, Equifax’s most predictive consumer score to date, has included statistical and aggregated data elements to enable a meaningful and highly predictive score to be returned to credit providers even when there is little to no credit information otherwise available for an individual. This will ultimately make it easier for CreditWorks members to extend credit with greater confidence, and support positive decisions around financial inclusion.
