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.
tech stack used
action plan
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.
The team ensured that the data submitted was compliant with the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) and the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act (FACTA) to maintain accuracy, integrity, and reliability in credit reports.
