Consumer Risk Analysis
Express Credit Score
Your credit score is important because credit providers use it to rate your credit worthiness. It's calculated using the information on your credit profile, including account information, your payment history, adverse information, public records and enquiries (requests by credit providers to view your credit report). It is a summary of both positive and negative factors that predicts how likely you are to honour your future credit agreements. Your credit score will however differ at each of the registered South African credit bureaus as they are calculated differently at every institution.

Experian Affordability Assessment
The Affordability Assessment Service uses the consumer’s income (Gross and/or Net), calculates their Necessary Expenses (at a minimum, the minimum living expenses as required in terms of Regulations); it evaluates the consumer’s total monthly debt repayment obligations and returns the consumer’s available income (Discretionary Income) which will indicate the consumer’s ability to fund the proposed credit instalment in terms of a new credit agreement.
How it works
It calculates the consumer’s discretionary income as follows:
- First, we take the amount of the consumer’s gross and/or net income
- Next, we deduct their necessary expenses(the minimum living expenses as per Regulation 23A (9)and (10) of the National Credit Act 34 of 2005)
- Finally, we deduct the consumer’s total monthly debt repayment obligations
5 Reasons to make use of Affordability
- Automatic determination of a consumer’s Gross Income where the value is unknown
- Automatic determination of a consumer’s Net Income through the application of the relevant tax tables
- Automatic inclusion of known Bureau Expenses
- Assists with decision-making during the customer acquisition phase

Experian Consumer Credit Report
The Experian Consumer Credit Report is a comprehensive record of an individual’s credit history, compiled from information provided by lenders, creditors, and public records. It plays a crucial role in determining a consumer’s creditworthiness and is widely used by banks, retailers, service providers, and other financial institutions when making decisions about loans, credit cards, and contracts. The report reflects how responsibly an individual manages their financial obligations and is often a key factor in determining interest rates, credit limits, or even approval for housing and employment opportunities.
