“This new initiative builds on a successful five-year collaboration with FICO, where we have used FICO Platform to continuously improve credit originations,” said Nadia Benitez, head of Risk Models, Swisscard. "The decision to expand our partnership with FICO was a natural progression, given FICO's leading position in the decision optimisation space. We look forward to using the power of mathematical optimisation to transform the way we set and manage credit limits.”

Swisscard uses FICO Platform for onboarding, limit management and customer behaviour processes. “The functionality that we really love from FICO Platform is that we can define the elements of a decision strategy just once and apply them to different areas,” Benitez said, “This helps us to bring consistency across processes. FICO Platform has made us more agile because we can now deploy all our new strategies without any IT intervention.”

Companies rely on FICO optimisation software to power decisions that serve billions of customers. This world-class capability is natively integrated with FICO^® Platform to drive results, at scale.
