Centrix Bureau Score

Wednesday, 4 November 2015 by Gavin Huet

Available from finPOWER Connect version 2.03.03.

finPOWER Connect now incorporates the new Centrix Bureau Score in Consumer Product Enquiry reports using the Centrix New Zealand service.

The Centrix Bureau Score has been developed by Experian, a leading global information services company, and it predicts the odds of an Account going into a "bad state" in the next 12 months due to:

  • 90 days+ in arrears
  • Default
  • Judgment
  • Insolvency

The Score can be used to assist in credit decision processes and it can result in faster, more accurate, and more consistent credit decisions.

The Score is displayed in a graphical format, within a range of 0 - 1500 where the higher the Score the lower the risk. Included with the Score are the Risk Odds which indicate how many good performing accounts can be expected per bad performing accounts over the next 12 months for a score in this range.

In the example below, the individual has a Score of 912, and Risk Odds of 15 good accounts for every 1 bad performing account.
