Unlock the Power of Telco Data for Credit Scoring

In formal banking systems, credit is extended to customers based on their credit scores. Financial institutions such as banks and credit card companies assess an individual’s creditworthiness using information from in-house databases and credit bureaus, which is converted into a single metric: the credit score.

The traditional process of credit scoring includes verifying the customers’ identities as well as their willingness and ability to pay. Their willingness to pay is based on their past credit performance, while their ability to pay is supported by their current income and amount of outstanding debt.

In emerging economies like the Philippines where telco credit scoring still isn’t a widely recognized norm, the traditional process of determining an individual’s creditworthiness is limited. The unbanked sector (people who are not served by banks or other financial institutions) often struggle with receiving access to credit because many of them do not have a bank account due to a lack documentary requirements and physical access. These people are often freelance workers or self-employed individuals engaged in various, non-regular, income-earning activities.


According to the Banko Sentral ng Pilipinas, there were 34.3 million unbanked Filipinos in 2021. However, this doesn’t mean they don’t have the ability and the willingness to pay. That’s why fintech (financial technology) companies in the Philippines are now developing innovative approaches such as telco based credit scoring to determine a consumer’s creditworthiness and improve financial inclusion.
