Credit tiers determine how credit scores in specific ranges should be reported. You can define credit tiers by effective date, state, and policy type. You can add labels to credit tiers that will appear in place of the credit score, such as Poor or Excellent, and you can restrict credit tiers.
Example:
- For a renter’s product, you can accept a credit score above 620.
- For a homeowner’s product, you can accept a score above 660.
- For the renter's product, you could set the restriction for the 0–619 credit tier to Disallow and the restriction for the 620–1000 credit tier to None.
- For the homeowner's product, you could set credit tiers of 0–659 and 660–1000.
To set up LexisNexis Credit Tiers:
- Select Settings.
