Salary benchmarks
Our take
The number of loan options for consumers has exploded in recent years, making credit assessment super important for companies offering these loans and giving Clearscore a big market to grow into
Traditionally, lenders had a more 'computer says no' approach when it came to making loan decisions. With the wealth of data now available on people, credit assessment can be made smarter
Clearscore's approach has been to add on innovative products outside of credit scoring, e.g. helping consumers understand how to improve their financial position and offering car and home insurance
