Vietnam’s Orient Commercial Bank Adopts LenddoEFL Psychometric Credit Assessment to Serve the Underbanked Segment
Singapore (PRWEB) January 22, 2018 -- Orient Commercial Joint Stock Bank (OCB), a prominent commercial bank in Vietnam, recently announced it will use psychometric credit scoring from LenddoEFL, worldwide leader in credit decisioning using behavioral and digital data, to serve more self-employed and salaried Community Banking (COM-B) clients. Community Banking is an increasingly popular way to serve unbanked and underserved Vietnamese populations, but credit assessment proves challenging as most lack traditional financial and credit information.
“We chose LenddoEFL due to proven performance of their solutions around the world,” said OCB COM-B Director, Phu Nguyen. “We expect this partnership will allow us to grow quickly by approving more people without increasing our risk, shortening turnaround times and improving the onboarding experience for our clients. This project will also help COM-B develop intelligent banking services.”
“We are excited to partner with OCB helping them provide life-changing credit to millions of underbanked Vietnamese people. This partnership with one of Vietnam’s leading banks marks our launch in Vietnam and part of our expansion plans as we provide fast, affordable and convenient financial products for more than 1 billion people worldwide," said Richard Eldridge, CEO of LenddoEFL.
LenddoEFL’s solution uses a combination of a proprietary psychometric assessment from an interactive digital questionnaire plus various behavioral data sources to measure credit risk.
