TransUnion Canada has launched the TruVision Trended Risk Score, a revolutionary credit assessment tool designed to expand credit access for newcomers and young Canadians. This innovative solution, built on post-pandemic consumer data, analyzes over 100 proprietary variables to provide lenders with comprehensive insights into borrowers’ payment behaviour. The timing is crucial, as international migration drove 92% of Canada’s population growth in Q3 2024, with new-to-credit consumers representing 28% of new credit card openings. This new scoring system aims to facilitate faster credit building while helping newcomers make more informed decisions.
