The Ataeva Product Suite utilizes a set of more than 100 FCRA-regulated attributes1 to provide the proprietary metrics essential for identifying true revenue potential and maximizing return on investment (ROI) for credit issuers. Built on up to 12 months of trended data, these solutions allow financial institutions to build highly profitable portfolios of low-risk revolvers and high spenders, establishing a powerful competitive advantage.
"This partnership is driving sustainable value for our financial institution customers," said Harald Schneider, Global Chief Data & Analytics Officer at Equifax. "By integrating these predictive attributes, we are empowering financial services to create a highly personalized, profitable and compliant strategy across every phase of the customer lifecycle—from acquisition pre-screening to proactive, data-driven retention. This capability elevates the industry standard for risk assessment and portfolio optimization."
Key Solutions for Portfolio Optimization:
- Ataeva TAPS (Total Annual Plastic Spend): This solution helps lenders identify consumers that could benefit from an increased credit limit by estimating their total annual credit card spend across their entire wallet.
- Ataeva CYM (Card Yield Metrics): This solution helps lenders identify consumers that make responsible monthly payments on their credit cards, carry a monthly balance and have a specific annual percentage rate (APR) on these accounts. Lenders can evaluate if they can offer more favorable credit terms, like a lower interest rate for debt consolidation or balance transfer.
"By combining Ataeva's advanced analytics with the differentiated data assets provided by Equifax, we are helping to solve the market's core inefficiency in prospect valuation," said Ajay Pillai, Co-Founder of Ataeva. "The Ataeva Product Suite helps give issuers the proprietary metrics to accurately identify true revenue potential and build highly profitable portfolios of low-risk revolvers and high spenders."
For credit unions and community banks, these tools offer a clear path to gaining market share by leveraging superior data to identify and acquire high-value customers, solidifying their competitive position against larger financial institutions.
