Credit Bureaus and Credit Scoring in European Union Countries

Credit bureaus play a critical role in today's credit markets. The credit history information provided by the credit bureaus helps lenders assess and monitor the risk of lending, and hence make more informed and profitable business decisions. Taking a closer look at the European credit bureaus and understanding the current structure of the credit information industry, along with the financial privacy laws can help lenders and credit bureaus developing strategies to position themselves in the single European credit market.

June 16, 2004 -- New Research Report by Mercator Advisory Group - Credit bureaus play a critical role in today's credit markets. The credit history information provided by the credit bureaus helps lenders assess and monitor the risk of lending, and hence make more informed and profitable business decisions. Taking a closer look at the European credit bureaus and understanding the current structure of the credit information industry, along with the financial privacy laws can help lenders and credit bureaus developing strategies to position themselves in the single European credit market.

Evren Bayri, Director for Mercator Advisory Group's Credit Advisory Service, comments, "While the EU states typically have credit bureau(s), the exchange of information among them occurs at a marginal level. Some important reasons for this trend are the sluggish development of the European cross-border credit market, technical challenges that arise from differences among the credit bureaus and privacy regulation-related issues. As the mobility of the EU population increases and consumers start to shop around for cross-border credit, the demand for cross-border credit and hence the demand for cross-border credit information will increase. This will occurr regionally in the short run, where compatibility in privacy laws, lower language barriers, and the more consumer mobility create favorable conditions for cross-border lending and information sharing."

This report puts the European credit bureaus and the state of the cross-border credit information sharing under the magnifying glass by providing:

1. A discussion on the public credit registers (PCRs) in the EU
