The Challenge & Solution
The Challenge: Traditional credit models often struggle to capture the true risk profile of the rural economy, where income flows and borrowing behaviors differ vastly from urban centers.
The Solution: The Equifax Grameen Score is a segmented scoring model built specifically for rural geography. By combining deep insights from Microfinance (MFI) and Retail data, we provide a holistic view of the rural borrower— thereby enabling you to lend with confidence.
Why Equifax Grameen Score?

Dual-Data Intelligence: Leverages a powerful combination of MFI repayment tracks and retail credit history to widen credit eligibility for New To Credit (NTC) or Thin-file borrowers on the Retail credit bureau.
-
Aligned with RBI & Budget 2025: Committed to support the Ministry’s mandate on deepening rural credit access and financial inclusion of the underserved.
-
Rural loan mix: Optimized for key rural lending products including Kisan Credit Cards (KCC), Tractor Loans, Two-Wheelers, Mudra Loans, and Priority Sector Lending (PSL).
