The Norms of Algorithmic Credit Scoring

Abstract: This article examines the growth of algorithmic credit scoring and its implications for the regulation of consumer credit markets in the UK. It constructs a frame of analysis for the regulation of algorithmic credit scoring, bound by the core norms underpinning UK consumer credit and data protection regulation: allocative efficiency, distributional fairness and consumer privacy (as autonomy). Examining the normative trade-offs that arise within this frame, the article argues that existing data protection and c… Show more

“…This evolution has been characterized by a transition from simplistic, rule-based algorithms to more sophisticated, data-driven approaches that harness the power of predictive analytics and machine learning algorithms. By leveraging a broader array of variables and incorporating advanced statistical techniques, modern credit scoring models aim to provide a more comprehensive assessment of an individual's creditworthiness, thereby facilitating more informed lending decisions (Aggarwal, 2021).…”

“…As an example of the potential trade-off, platforms providing access to previously underserved consumers (eg consumers with "thin files" in a credit scoring context) may depend on more personal data or a wider variety of data from individuals in order to provide a service viably (eg to price credit risk accurately). However, inadequate coordination between existing regulatory frameworks in many jurisdictions -particularly data protection and financial regulation -means that there are unsatisfactory mechanisms in place for navigating these normative trade-offs (Aggarwal, 2021).…”

“…Many borrowers in emerging markets where ICS is most prevalent 4 lack both formal credit histories and access to traditional credit bureaus. In Indonesia, credit bureaus reach only 20-25% of the population (Aggarwal, 2021). This makes alternative data sources crucial for credit assessment.…”
