New Andrew Davidson & Co., Inc. Research Highlights Value Of Leveraging Experian's Trended Credit Data For Mortgage Risk Assessment


(MENAFN- PR Newswire) NEW YORK, Sept. 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- In the evolving landscape of mortgage risk assessment, the integration of trended credit bureau data is proving to be pivotal. A new white paper released today by leading analytics firm Andrew Davidson & Co., Inc. (AD&Co) explores how the expansion of traditional credit scores with trended credit bureau data from Experian® can provide insight into borrower behavior and enhance mortgage prepayment and credit forecasts.

Titled "Insights on Mortgage Delinquencies and Prepayments from Trended Data ," the white paper delves into three key findings:

  • Enhanced predictability:
    The analysis demonstrates that incorporating Experian's suite of trended financial attributes helps to offer considerable improvements in forecasting mortgage prepayments and delinquencies compared to traditional credit scores.
  • Trended data integration:
    The combination of Experian's Trended 3DTM attributes, which encompass depersonalized consumer payment, balance and credit utilization behaviors across various loan types, and Experian's Mortgage Loan Performance Insights, helps provide a more comprehensive view of consumer financial and mortgage behavior. These rich datasets are hosted in Experian's Ascend Analytical SandboxTM.
  • Impact of Payment Behavior:
    The study specifically highlights an attribute that segments consumers based on recent balance transfer and payment activity on credit cards. The findings indicate that consumer payment behavior at both mortgage origination and post-origination (i.e., ongoing) may have a sizeable impact on mortgage delinquencies and prepayments.

    Joni Baker, lead modeler at AD&Co, commented, "The Experian data we studied provides valuable insights for improving mortgage prepayment and delinquency forecasts. Among other trends, we found that consumers with a mortgage who consolidate balances on revolving charge or credit cards are more likely to prepay their loans and less likely to fall behind on payments. A deeper understanding of borrower behavior will help the industry develop better risk and valuation models."

    To further explore these insights, AD&Co and Experian are hosting a webinar titled "Gaining Insights on Mortgage Delinquencies and Prepayments from Trended Data " on October 9, 2024. This session will feature in-depth discussions with industry experts on methodologies, practical applications, and the future implications of leveraging trended credit bureau data in mortgage lending.

    "This research reinforces the power of Experian data and our ability to support more informed decisions," said Bindiya Jain, Sr. Director of Innovation at Experian Housing. "In today's evolving landscape, the capital markets community needs a comprehensive view of borrower behavior. Trended data from Experian, as well as loan performance data, can deliver a meaningful performance lift for the industry."
