How to Read Finicity Consumer Reports

Finicity, a Mastercard company, collects consumer-permissioned data from data providers you select, such as your financial institutions or payroll provider, to generate “Consumer Reports” used by companies you have engaged with to assist them with determining your eligibility for consumer products and services, including credit or housing.

If we have issued a Consumer Report about you, you can access and view it in the Consumer Portal for up to 5 years from the date it was issued.

This “How to Read” information can assist you with understanding the information included in your reports:

What Information is Included in my Consumer Report?

Finicity Consumer Reports will generally include financial information about you collected from the account providers you grant Finicity access to. This information may include your current account balances, financial transactions (debits and credits) for up to 24 months, incidents of non-sufficient funds or overdraft, and payroll information or deposits. Some Consumer Reports will also provide an analysis of that data provided by Finicity, such as income calculations or estimates.

What information is included will depend on the type of Consumer Report Finicity has issued about you.

Report Details 

Every Consumer Report issued by Finicity will identify the report type in the top left corner and provide basic identifying information about you and the purpose for its release. This information is commonly referred to as “header information.”

Here you will find your personal information along with when the report was created, who requested the report, the report ID and date range of the report. There may also be other details displayed depending on which type of report was requested.

Date Range: The period for which data was pulled to build this report, in this example, the previous 6 months. 

Total Asset Summary 

This section shows an overview of all the accounts you authorized for the report including the total of current balances in all accounts included in the report and the average balance for the past 2 months based on the daily balances of all accounts. 

Asset Summary by Account 

Each account included in the report is shown here with the current and average monthly balance of each account, the account owner, and other details. 

Summary by Account 

Each account included in the report is shown here, with its respective account summary. 

Transaction Data by Account 

This section displays transaction data for each specific financial institution. It includes the last four digits of the account number, and the time when transaction data is available, as well as what time period was requested up to the last 24 months.

Available: The period of time when transaction data is available for the account. The darker line is what is included in the report. The lighter line is what may also be available. 

Requested: The period of time that was requested as part of the report.  

Insufficient Funds by Account 

This section displays days since the most recent Non-Sufficient Funds (NSF) transaction, and the total number of NSFs over the report date range.

Transaction History 

This section shows the complete transaction history (credits and debits) for each account, available for up to 24 months from the financial institution.

Income Streams Summary 

We use an intelligent machine learning process to analyze deposit transactions and estimate your income. We provide three levels of income estimates, high, moderate, or low confidence income streams.

Income Streams 

An income stream groups together deposit transactions that have similar payment descriptions, timing, and amounts. Each income stream graph provides a snapshot of up to the past 24 months of transactions. It includes the account owner name, account details, payment timing, status, and amounts.

Income Streams by Account 

Each income stream is identified from all deposit transactions, for up to 120 days, with no amounts.

This displays the frequency of payroll deposits and days since the last payroll deposit which helps us determine if payroll deposits are done on a regular basis. This section also includes the stream’s confidence level (Mastercard’s level of confidence that the deposit stream accurately represents income).

Only the income streams with 20% or greater level of confidence are included.

Matched Transaction 

This section shows deposit information from each paystub, including account details, matched transaction(s) dates, descriptions, and amounts. A matched transaction is when the specific deposit identified in the paystub is found in the transaction history. 

Employment Summary 

The following charts display employer and employee info, including hire date, end date, position title, work status and employment duration. They also include income information for employment, pay frequency, base pay rate, and latest pay date.

Payment History 

The following charts give a detailed breakdown of each payment in the employment history, showing the pay details for that pay period. The most recent and last pay periods of each year are clearly displayed at the top of this section.

Payment Risk Behavior 

The following charts show:

Payment History Score 

The payment history score is calculated with up to 24 months of data. All analysis is based on only the accounts that are permissioned. This score helps predict the likelihood that a negative payment event like an overdraft/NSF, missed recurring payment or an incurred late fee will occur in the future. The score is a two-digit ranking separated into four segments of risk, on a scale of “low” to “high.”

The statement cover page includes details about which account statements were pulled for. Please note that all of the following pages are statements that will vary by what is provided by specific financial institutions.
