Temenos Infinity provides dynamic assessment of an applicant or application’s risk through the use of business rules and risk tiers. Risk Models provide the ability to tie risk rules together to determine applicant risk, by allowing institutions to maintain the assignment of risk according to tiered system. Within the Risk Models page in System Management (System Management > Origination Loan > Risk Models), institutions are able to define and maintain a list of tiers which affect risk and pricing. Business Rules authored to asses applicant and/or application attributes are assigned to each risk model to determine the tolerances for risk tiers and ultimately affect pricing and creditworthiness.
