optimizing credit reporting to ensure accuracy and compliance,
while seamlessly migrating data to Snowflake
Overview
A rapidly-growing Financial Technology client partnered with evolv to optimize their Credit Bureau Reporting (CBR), with a specific focus on the critical “Metro2” component, a standardized format used by financial institutions for reporting customer credit information. With a long-standing history of project success, the client trusted evolv to solve for both immediate and long-term, sustainable processes.
The project scope had two primary objectives: first, to ensure monthly reporting of the client’s personal loan holder information to credit reporting agencies through workflow automation; and second, to migrate data from legacy systems to Snowflake without disrupting business continuity.

evolv worked closely with their client to establish a streamlined, accurate, and automated process for gathering and submitting information on personal loan holders to credit reporting agencies (Experian, Equifax, Transunion) using the unified and standardized Metro2 format.
