Preventing credit misuse has been extremely challenging — until now.

Stop high risk applicants who may fall between the cracks of fraud and credit controls

As organizations look to grow their lending portfolios, they need new approaches to help defend against evolving risks.

Credit Misuse, sometimes referred to as first-party fraud, is a growing category of financial losses stemming from applicants who may intend to misuse credit at your organization, yet utilize their real identities and prime or near-prime credit histories to breeze past identity proofing controls and meet credit criteria. 

LexisNexis® RiskView™ Credit Misuse combines traditional and alternative credit data to fill a gap at the point of application that allows these high-risk applicants to elude risk controls.

RiskView Credit Misuse equips you with the targeted insights you need to support more confident lending decisions:
