If your institution is seeking inputs to your internal credit rating systems, Standard & Poor’s Risk Solutions provides credit scores on unrated obligors using our Credit Assessment Templates. These credit scores can be mapped to Standard & Poor’s globally recognized credit ratings, your own scale, or a probability of default to obtain an opinion of an obligor’s creditworthiness. Assessments of Credit can also include a review of your institution's credit processes.
