Study explores how frequently lenders validate credit scores

May 9, 2014 by Stacie Baker

As part of its guidance, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency recommends that lenders perform regular validations of their credit score models in order to assess model performance. The guidelines apply to both custom and bureau scoring models. A recent survey of lenders commissioned by SourceMedia Research LLC found that only 40 percent of lenders validate their models annually. While the majority of larger lenders perform validations annually, smaller lenders tend to validate less frequently, as noted in the chart below.

In addition to meeting regulatory guidelines, validating scoring models on a regular basis verifies  that scorecards continue to work as intended and also can serve as an early warning system for identifying when changes may be necessary, whether it be an adjustment to a score cut-off strategy or a full model redevelopment.

Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source.
