Challenges we ran into

We were facing an issue on how to identify new not so economically sound persons. To cater to this we thought of using a personalised Economically Educated Personal score during the registration for the Demat account. If they cross a certain number of points then are allowed to have an account opened. Or else their application will be rejected.

  4. Length of credit history: Credit age measures the average length of time for which someone has been using credit. The older someone's credit age is, the better. This factor accounts for 15% of score calculations.
  5. Credit mix: It also considers the types of credit someone uses (i.e., instalment loans versus revolving credit). Credit mix makes up 5% of score calculations.
