AM Best’s Playback Now Available for Webinar on Combining Credit and Public Records Data for More Holistic Views of Insurance Risk

Video playback is available for a complimentary webinar titled, “Stronger Together: How Combining Credit and Public Records Data Can Yield Sharper Views of Insurance Risk,” sponsored by LexisNexis^® Risk Solutions. Access it here.

In this 30-minute webinar, experts in insurance, credit risk, public records and data analytics discuss the lift that integrating credit data with public records can deliver for a more holistic understanding of consumer risk.

Key points include:

• How credit data and public records data complement each other in insurance risk assessment, with credit serving as the foundation and public records adding new views of information.
• The four main categories of public records data that LexisNexis Risk Solutions uses: derogatory information (like criminal convictions), non-derogatory information (like professional licenses), credit-absent financials (like short-term loans) and proprietary data (like address stability patterns).
• The concept of "trended credit" and how it differs from traditional credit snapshots by looking at 24 months of historical payment information to distinguish between different types of credit users.
• The process of implementing public records data into insurance operations, including strategies for starting small with underwriting attributes before expanding to more complex rating applications.
• How LexisNexis Risk Solutions worked with state regulators to gain approval for their public records scoring model, including specific modifications made for states like Massachusetts.
• The benefits of combining credit and public records data, including the ability to score previously "credit invisible" consumers and achieve better risk segmentation.
• How insurers can conduct retrospective analyses to test the effectiveness of these combined data sources on their specific book of business before implementations.
• The current state of the insurance market and why timing is critical for implementing these combined data sources to avoid adverse selection and maintain competitiveness.

Panelists include:

• Ellette Burke, product management, LexisNexis Risk Solutions
• Alex Frank, product management, LexisNexis Risk Solutions
• Gary Sanginario, insurance market education team, LexisNexis Risk Solutions
