New York, Feb. 23, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- PeerIQ, the leading provider of data and analytics solutions for the lending sector, today announced the release of Consumer Credit Suite, a fully integrated data and analytics enhancement available via the PeerIQ Analytics platform. The result of a year-long collaboration with TransUnion, this product combines TransUnion’s deep consumer credit datasets with PeerIQ’s risk analytics platform to offer its clients institutional investors and lenders a powerful tool to analyze and optimize their loan portfolios and make better investment and origination decisions.
“The release of our first TransUnion data enabled product is a significant milestone for us,” said Ram Ahluwalia, chief executive officer of PeerIQ. “Our clients are demanding through-cycle data histories, cross asset-class comparisons and robust analytics and we believe Consumer Credit Suite is a best-in-class solution that addresses all of these requirements.”
The Consumer Credit Suite incorporates TransUnion’s depersonalized consumer credit data from January 2000 to the present. Users can segment the data by asset classes including unsecured personal, credit card, auto, student, mortgage and HELOC as well as originator designations including bank, non-banks, and fintech/online lenders.
The Consumer Credit Suite enables a powerful set of resources for markets participants, including:
- Credit Trends: Early identification of credit trends, pricing trends, and dislocations to improve portfolio performance and risk management
- Vintage Analysis: Segment across vintages to assess and compare key performance metrics across various time horizons
- Benchmarking Analysis: Use PeerIQ’s benchmarks or create custom benchmarks to assess whether performance is leading or lagging
“We’re proud to support PeerIQ’s push to offer investors and originators deeper insight into their loan and ABS portfolios, as well as the ever-changing consumer credit market, “ said Steve Chaouki, executive vice president, head of TransUnion’s financial services business unit, and PeerIQ board member. “With TransUnion’s data behind it, PeerIQ’s platform will drive enhanced transparency in consumer credit markets, and enable best-in-class portfolio and risk management decisions.”
PeerIQ was founded to bridge the gap between the lenders and the capital markets—a $14 trillion market in the US alone. Aggregating and validating data from numerous sources, PeerIQ combines the data with cash flow analytics, portfolio management tools, reporting services, and independent views on risk so clients can optimize their portfolios and transact with confidence. “Our ambition is to make lending markets more transparent, liquid and data-driven,” said Ahluwalia. “The release of Consumer Credit Suite goes a long way towards realizing our mission.”
