Overview
DMS Summary Attributes® consolidate credit information for easier analysis by application and decisioning platforms, turning redundant data into valuable information. Credit-based decisions can be made more consistently with attributes that are uniformly distilled from each of the major credit bureaus.
DMS Summary Attributes® make calculating and implementing credit characteristics understandable and efficient for rule-based, statistical and transactional models. Common characteristics are provided across all credit bureaus and include 2,622 tri-bureau attributes covering 35 industry groups and nine risk categories. This comprehensive library is integrated with multiple loan origination systems and is available at the marketing and account management stages at Equifax®. DMS provides consistency of attributes over multiple bureaus and bureau versions, including online and archive delivery without compromising processing speed.
