How the Unzer credit check works

Specify a strategy

Before a credit check is integrated, a strategy should first be specified as to whose credit standing is even to be checked. Would you prefer to check only new customers, customers with conspicuous shopping baskets or rather everyone?

Use negative characteristics

Negative characteristics are used as standard when performing a credit check. Dunning notices, collections characteristics, entries in the debtor register and much more can all be taken into account. We draw on our data records with over 5 million negative characteristics here.

Incorporate external data

For even more precise predictions, we also draw on the 44 million data records of our partner Bürgel Wirtschafsinformationen GmbH. Within the scope of our Verify&Pay risk assessment, we use the data pool of our premium partner Schufa Holding AG. Your own positive and negative lists can of course also be integrated into your credit checks.

Provide recommendations

If negative characteristics are evident when checking the payment history of your customer, you receive detailed recommendations. You can then reach an individual decision as to whether you wish to conclude the transaction or not.

Specify payment methods

If the result of the credit check is positive, you can offer your customer the popular, yet also risky payment methods of purchase on account and in instalments, as well as SEPA Direct Debit. However, should your customer have a poor credit rating, you can specify that you will only accept secure payment types such as prepayment or payment by credit card. This allows you to make optimum use of existing revenue potential, while at the same time controlling your financial risk.

Unzer Verify&Pay: dynamic control of payment methods

Unzer Verify&Pay

If a shopper selects SEPA Direct Debit, purchase on account or purchase in instalments, a credit check is performed in most online shops. If the result of this check is negative, the shopper must select a different payment method. The transaction is otherwise declined during the checkout process – and the purchase likely cancelled.

With Unzer Verify&Pay, you can control eCommerce payment methods dynamically. The credit rating of your shoppers is already verified during checkout before they are shown the possible payment options. If the rating is good, your shoppers can then choose from all available payment methods. If the result comes back negative, they are only offered secure methods such as prepayment, PayPal or payment by credit card. This approach helps you increase your conversion rate and, at the same time, reduce risks. The key benefits for you:

  • Real-time credit check during the checkout process
  • Flexible selection of the suitable payment methods per shopper
  • Increased conversion rate thanks to convenient, end-to-end checkout
