Claims19
A method comprising:
- modeling, by a risk analysis computer, consumer spending patterns of a consumer using credit data associated with said consumer to obtain an estimated spend capacity of said consumer;
- calculating, by said risk analysis computer, a comprehensive consumer default risk value for said consumer based upon said credit data consumer transactional data comprising at least one of transaction amount, transaction time, transaction vendor/merchant, and transaction vendor/merchant location, and said estimated spend capacity, wherein said comprehensive consumer default risk value represents a risk associated with said consumer defaulting on an existing debt obligation;
- and
- wherein said calculating comprises selecting, by said risk analysis computer, an appropriate risk factor relationship based upon said consumer credit data and said internal data.
A system comprising:
- a non-transitory memory communicating with a risk analysis processor;
- said non-transitory memory having instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution by said processor, cause said processor to perform operations comprising:
- modeling, by said risk analysis processor, consumer spending patterns of a consumer using credit data associated with said consumer to obtain an estimated spend capacity of said consumer;
- calculating, by said risk analysis processor, a comprehensive consumer default risk value for said consumer based upon said credit data, consumer transactional data comprising at least one of transaction amount, transaction time, transaction vendor/merchant, and transaction vendor/merchant location, and said estimated spend capacity, wherein said comprehensive consumer default risk value represents a risk associated with said consumer defaulting on an existing debt obligation;
- and
- wherein said calculating comprises selecting, by said risk analysis processor, an appropriate risk factor relationship based upon said consumer credit data and said internal data.
An article of manufacture including a non-transitory computer readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution by a risk analysis computing device, cause said computing device to perform operations comprising:
- modeling, by said risk analysis computing device, consumer spending patterns of a consumer using credit data associated with said consumer to obtain an estimated spend capacity of said consumer;
- calculating, by said risk analysis computing device, a comprehensive consumer default risk value for said consumer based upon said credit data, consumer transactional data comprising at least one of transaction amount, transaction time, transaction vendor/merchant, and transaction vendor/merchant location, and said estimated spend capacity, wherein said comprehensive consumer default risk value represents a risk associated with said consumer defaulting on an existing debt obligation;
- and
- wherein said calculating comprises selecting, by said risk analysis computing device, an appropriate risk factor relationship based upon said consumer credit data and said internal data.
