Ethos™ International Credit Score
Expand your profitable customer base with international credit history
Each year, millions of people move to the United States in search of new opportunities. In fact, the U.S. Census Bureau expects immigration to drive over 88% of net U.S. population growth by 2065*. These newcomers represent a low-risk, highly engaged potential customer base. However, the lack of a U.S. credit history and no way to access international credit history makes lending decisions difficult or risky.Ethos™ International Credit Score is a solution that, for the first time in the financial services industry, enables lenders to access international credit data to serve this fast-growing segment.
