Smarter up-front decision making

Every year, companies write off millions of dollars in bad debt due to fraudulent account openings, outstanding balances, and unpaid closed accounts (UCAs). You don’t have to be one of them.

By joining the National Consumer Telecom & Utilities Exchange (NCTUE), you’ll gain member-only access to Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA)-compliant data on millions of consumers in a centralized location.

More data, better results

Armed with a wealth of data, member companies improve collections efforts and reduce losses. Member-only products also enhance risk assessment and decision-making — like when to collect a deposit, which services to offer, and at what price.

Contributing companies get a 360-degree view of consumer finances when the NCTUE data is combined with traditional credit data. With the most up-to-date, industry-specific data at their disposal, opportunities come alive.

Member participation delivers better business results

At NCTUE, member contribution is key: to receive data, members are required to give their data.

When members anonymously contribute data online or through batch uploading, the consumer database grows, making the data even more valuable. You can screen new members for customer service applications and unpaid closed accounts, improving business processes and profitability.

NCTUE data has improved our customer service. We look at that opening score … and we can say we should do something different about our customers at high risk of not paying. For our lower-risk customers, we could give them a little more time.
