The UCMS Portfolio Optimization Matrix was developed to help issuers with develop new card portfolios and track results. Since 1992, when it was first used by AT&T Universal Card Services, this leading program has been benchmarked because of its industry leading thought shift.
Three years after UCMS started "selling" credit cards to college students, it began advising its credit card issuing clients on how
to evaluate student applicants. The following is the derivation of
the UCMS
Matrix.
The UCMS Matrix uses multiple scorecards set up in a grid
format. The underlying principal is to combine both on and off application data. The result: an ability to get charge-off
rates below 2% and approval rates over 50%! What's more is that the UCMS "Thin File Analysis" is
cross applicable to determining young adult CREDIT LINES.
Larry Chiang, president and founder of UCMS, utilized a
solid-liquid-gas thermodynamics model as the basis for UCMS proprietary techniques.
