Isbank has selected Experian®, the global information services company, to enable it to make faster and more accurate decisions based on the financial risk of consumers applying for its credit cards and retail loans in Turkey.
Isbank will implement Experian's New Business SM system, a fully automated decisioning tool that takes the information from the application form and accesses multiple internal and external credit bureau data sources, including existing customer data. Using this information, Isbank will be able to identify optimal customers and then offer them a tailored package to suit their needs, based on an accurate risk profile.
Experian's system improves operational efficiencies by enabling the automation of manual processes and the redeployment of key resources to concentrate on strategic, rather than tactical, challenges.
Recep Oram, Project Leader and Unit Manager in Isbank's Consumer Loans Division, said: "This system will help Isbank to be more effective and more focused on our growth strategies. Thanks to its advanced simulation capabilities, we will now be able to evaluate and evolve lending strategies for maximum performance. This will be a key advantage that will lead to the faster implementation of new business terms and product modifications and launches."
Cenker Ozhelvaci, Country Manager for Turkey & Middle East, Experian's Decision Analytics division, commented: "We are proud to extend our successful working relationship with Isbank. This agreement underlines why Experian is the standard for risk management among the Turkish banking sector."
