Dynamic affordability assessment
Dynamic affordability assessment
In the credit decision making process, both applicant’s creditworthiness and affordability should be assessed. While credit scoring focuses on creditworthiness, affordability is often checked on the basis of the declared current income, the assumed standard expenditure and the existing debts which are stated in a credit report. Contrary to that static approach, a dynamic affordability assessment is proposed in this research. The affordability at a given moment in time is defined as a total amount of money the applicant can use to service their debts at that moment. It depends on the applicant’s income and expenditure which both vary in time. The suggested model can contribute to responsible lending

Abstract
In the credit decision making process, both applicant’s creditworthiness and affordability should be assessed. While credit scoring focuses on creditworthiness, affordability is often checked on the basis of the declared current income, the assumed standard expenditure and the existing debts which are stated in a credit report. Contrary to that static approach, a dynamic affordability assessment is proposed in this research. The affordability at a given moment in time is defined as a total amount of money the applicant can use to service their debts at that moment. It depends on the applicant’s income and expenditure which both vary in time. The suggested model can contribute to responsible lending
