Centric AI delivers automated scoring, alternative-data integration, and policy enforcement—making decisions fast, consistent, and transparent.
Overview
Assessing capacity and risk quickly and fairly ensures credit unions approve the right members with confidence. Centric AI enables automated scoring, alternative-data fusion, and policy enforcement—so decisions are fast, consistent and transparent.
Key Statistics
“Credit scoring models are evolving with machine-learning and alternative data to improve predictive accuracy.” (World Bank, 2020)
“More than 60 % of institutions surveyed increased their use of new data types and advanced analytics for credit-portfolio management.” (McKinsey & Company / IACPM, 2022)
“Savings-and-credit co-ops show that weak credit-risk management materially reduces operational efficiency and financial performance.” (Josiah Aduda & Stephen Obondy, 2020)
Slow underwriting & manual reviews
Credit unions rely on manual checks, referrals and limited data—delaying decisions.
Limited data & risk insight
Decisions based only on traditional data, missing member behaviour, social or alternative signals.
High cost & operational burden
Manual assessments, group-guarantee checks, and collateral reviews strain small teams.
Policy inconsistency & bias risk
Credit decisions vary across branches; risk of bias or lack of governance increases.
Poor portfolio performance metrics
Poor risk selection leads to weak repayment and higher NPLs; limited visibility on borrower lifetime value.
Members expect fast decisions; slow processes increase drop-outs.
Rising defaults or unseen risks; inability to assess new-profiling members.
Operational cost grows; staff bandwidth limited.
Regulatory scrutiny or member trust issues grow.
