RIKI™ is not intended to be a clone of any existing credit score or other measurement. It is an independent measure, not a summary of other credit information. Use it alongside other information about a borrower’s creditworthiness. RIKI™ is especially useful with borrowers who have thin credit files, since it is based on income and expenses, not credit history.
