RiskSeal Digital Credit Scoring API
Neu Money is a U.S. fintech focused on credit building.
Its credit card serves people starting their U.S. credit journey. This includes students, recent graduates, immigrants, and first-time cardholders.
For many Neu customers, traditional credit history is limited. Some are building a U.S. credit file for the first time.
Neu helps these customers access credit and build history through responsible card use. The company reports card activity to all three major credit bureaus.
When you work with people who need to build credit, the challenge is clear. There is often very little traditional lending data to work with.
That makes scoring harder. A limited credit file leaves risk teams with fewer signals to rely on.
Neu Money needed another source of information. It had to help assess people with little or no credit history.
The team also wanted those signals early in onboarding. They needed more context without adding extra friction for applicants.
That additional visibility could support both credit decisions and fraud checks.
Neu Money adopted RiskSeal’s Digital Credit Scoring API as an additional predictive layer for risk scoring and customer onboarding.
For each applicant, RiskSeal delivered 450+ signals from 200+ digital sources. These signals gave the risk team more data points to support credit and fraud decisions alongside existing checks.
Before going live, Neu Money tested RiskSeal data against historical outcomes. The team used this backtesting stage to evaluate how much predictive uplift the additional signals could bring.
Once the results were validated, the teams moved to implementation. RiskSeal’s API integration was completed in one business day.
The partnership gave Neu Money more visibility into thin-file applicants. That stronger information base supported both growth and portfolio performance.
At Neu Money, we're advancing a more inclusive approach to customer onboarding, helping students, young adults, and recent immigrants avoid the challenges of building credit from scratch in the U.S. RiskSeal's alternative scoring signals have strengthened our ability to assess risk and mitigate fraud – an important foundation as we work to bring more underserved Americans into the credit system.
