Abstract

A number of credit scoring models have been developed to evaluate credit risk of new loan applicants and existing loan customers, respectively. This study proposes a method to manage existing customers by using misclassification patterns of credit scoring model. We divide two groups of customers, the currently good and bad credit customers, into two subgroups, respectively, according to whether their credit status is misclassified or not by the neural network model. In addition, we infer the characteristics of each subgroup and propose management strategies corresponding to each subgroup.
