Robocash: JuicyScore Service Reduces Operational Risks By 75%

In times of crisis, when the markets drop, one of the key goals of any company is to maintain long-term and time-tested partnerships. This is especially important when the crisis affects a huge number of areas, industries, countries and macroregions, when the usual models and rules suddenly stop working, and there is a minimum of time to build new ones.

JuicyScore has been operating for 4+ years, providing services to financial institutions in 13 countries and a technological solution for assessing various types of risk in online lending based on proprietary technologies and without using borrowers personal data and direct identifiers. The digital fingerprint of the device (JuicyDeviceID) provided as part of the service allows to successfully prevent technical fraud, device manipulation and randomising. The vector of informative data, which consists of almost 200 attributes, including anti-fraud scoring, a set of combined aggregates by device, virtual user and network connection, strengthens internal credit risk models and allows setting-up a set of rules for filtering high-risk applications with fraud markers. The depth and constant development of technologies allows moving forward and provide additional means to reduce losses from operational risk.

We are happy that there are companies among our partners whom we cooperate with from the very beginning of our work and continue to fruitfully cooperate today, helping to mutual growth and synergy. We are inspired that our products and technologies help companies to become the leaders in the industry.

One of these partners is the Robocash Group holding (represented in Russia as MFC Zaymer), which has rightfully become the leader of the microlending market in the Russian Federation and occupies a strong position in the markets of 6 more countries. Through this partnership, JuicyScore provides a fraud and credit risk assessment service to significantly reduce losses from high-risk applications. In addition, JuicyScore, within its competence, assists in the investigation of credit applications related to high risk cases and fraud schemes.

In February-March 2020, as a result of the joint work of experts from both companies, MFC Zaymer portfolio segments analysis was carried out in order to identify the most difficult cases of fraud and their further prevention. As a result of this project, a number of anti-fraud rules were developed based on the data vector, which is provided as part of the JuicyScore solution. For example, rules were built on the basis of anti-fraud scoring, a combination of high-risk markers, a set of Internet connection anomalies, as well as a number of individual parameters for high-risk versions of browsers and devices.

According to Arvis Strods, Robocash Group CRO: “The JuicyScore service allows detecting at least 75% of applications with a high level of operational risk in the online stream. The data vector provided within the service allowed us to strengthen our decision engine both in terms of reducing bad loans and identifying potentially “good” customers, in cases where traditional data sources do not provide sufficient information. The data ROI is at least 15 times on the application inflow in the Russian Federation and a number of other markets”.
