PIC Solutions has significant experience of the challenges impacting the consumer credit industry in the Middle East. We will be presenting a paper on the use of application scoring in the GCC market and will also hold a workshop on maximising the use of credit bureau data. With the rapid increase in the use of scoring technologies, we believe the paper and workshop will provide delegates with best practice guidelines in improving their business processes. Our understanding of the dynamic environment in which credit grantors operate is reflected in our leading-edge solutions and we look forward to sharing this knowledge with delegates at the Consumer Credit Conference.”
