Submitting Credit Checks

Procedure

If you want to use the automated process to perform a credit check on the customer without creating a new credit line, select the credit request type as Other and submit the request without an amount requested. When performing a credit check the process executes so that bureau reports, scores, and a decision are generated without creating a new credit line.

To submit a credit check:

  1. Select Automated Decisions.

  2. Select Create New Credit Request.
    The Create New Credit Request - Customer Search screen appears.

  3. In Customer Search, enter information to identify the customer, and click search.
    The Search Results list any matching records.

Note:  To sort the screen, click any underlined column header. The list sorts by that information in ascending order. If you click the header a second time, the list displays in descending order using that column header.

  1. Do one of the following:

    • If the customer record does not appear in Search Results, click Create New Customer.
      The Create New Credit Request screen appears.

    • If the customer record appears in Search Results, select the option button in the row for the customer, and click Use Selected Customer.
      The Create New Credit Request screen appears filled in with the information already stored for the customer.

  2. Select Other from the Credit Request Type list.
    The screen refreshes to displays the fields for the Other type.

  3. Leave the Amount Requested field blank.

  4. Enter the Legal Name in the Business Information section.

  5. Enter the legal address in the Address section:

    1. Click Add in the Address Information section.
      The Address section appears.

    2. Enter the legal address and click Save.

  1. Click Continue.
    The Credit Request Details screen appears with the information you entered highlighted in gray.

  2. Verify that the information is correct, and select Submit.

Note:  If any information is incorrect, click Back, modify the information, and continue from Step 5.

A status screen appears while the credit request is being processed. When the submission is complete, the Decision screen appears with the tab links to the bureau information generated by the process.
