Why Lending and Finance Firms Trust Alessa for Risk Scoring
Configurable Risk Scoring Models
Your business has unique organizational risk tolerances, and as a result, should have business-specific risk scoring factors. Alessa’s configurable risk scoring model provides a robust foundation of standard risk factors, while also allowing you to change factors and include additional factors, rules, and weights best suited to your business environment.
A 360° View of Client Risk
Pairing our risk scoring solution with our 360° View of Client Risk and Risk Level Change Dashboards provides your compliance team with automatic daily updates of significant changes to client risk levels. Alessa’s 360° View Dashboard notifies you of clients whose risk scores have surpassed your organization’s risk threshold in the last 24 hours.
Reduced Manual Risk Assessments
Many compliance teams lack the resources for comprehensive manual customer risk investigations necessary for lending and finance firms. Manual risk assessments are expensive, slow, and often inconsistent., and can create outdated, inaccurate risk scores, even in high-risk scenarios. Automated risk scoring gives your compliance team the information they need at a glance, freeing them to give high-risk customers their full attention.
