How it works
Built from Open Banking and loan outcome data our rich insights provide a comprehensive view of an individual or company’s current financial situation. We explain how it works below.
From Open Banking data to rich insights
We are experts in data enrichment - going beyond aggregation - to provide our partners with highly accurate insights.
Collection
Collecting Open Banking data
Upon the applicant’s consent, an individual or company’s account(s) are aggregated into a single view of their financial behaviour. Advanced models detect and indicate when an applicant hasn’t shared their main income or expenditure account.
Analysis
Classification, Grouping, Prediction
For market-leading coverage and accuracy, we have developed state of the art modelling techniques using millions of real transactions to categorise income and expenditure. Our advanced machine-learning models use historical data to predict future behaviour, taking into account outliers, seasonality and changes in circumstance.
Insights
Financial behaviour insights
Proven predictive insights are surfaced through our API or underwriting platform, Atlas. These insights can be incorporated into scorecards and policies, used to improve manual underwriting, or automate decisioning.

Data analysis
Data enrichment
As a credit reference agency, our predictive insights are built by combining transaction and loan outcome data. We distill transaction data into proven predictive insights that can be incorporated into scorecards and policies.
Predict future behaviour
Advanced machine-learning models use historical data to predict future behaviour, taking into account outliers, seasonality and changes in circumstance such as a pay rise or moving house. Measured on real historical data, we have built models that are 37% more accurate than any traditional statistical approach.
Classifying and grouping transactions
Our classification engine uses state of the art modelling techniques and millions of real transactions to categorise income and expenditure with market-leading coverage and accuracy.
