    CashScore® by Prism Data predicts the probability of credit default, just like a traditional credit score, but based on deposit account data rather than credit history. CashScore has proven to be just as predictive as traditional credit scores when used on its own, and orthogonal to traditional scores when used in combination with them, resulting in significantly increased predictive power. CashScore also allows underwriters to score consumers that lack traditional credit history. You can read more about CashScore here.
