The Experian Credit Score is calculated by applying a statistical algorithm that uses past events to predict future behaviour. Each credit bureau uses a unique algorithm and does not disclose in detail how a score is calculated.

There are however key attributes that are used to generate your customer’s credit score such as the type of credit provider who has made enquiries on their report, the type of product they have applied for, their repayment history, the credit limit of each of their credit products, the number of credit enquiries and any negative events.
