Abstract: Abstract Because of the application of the internet and the strong penetration of mobile phone usage, financial institutions realize that credit scores can be performed based on the access records of each user, that is, digital footprints. This approach can not only predict consumer default but also make it easier for the unbanked. However, there are also a series of problems with using digital footprints for credit scores. This paper will mainly affirm the applicability of using the digital footprint model for credit scores by comparing the traditional and new credit score models, the FICO scoring system and the user-generated digital footprint model. Finally, describe the problems of the UGDF model and the measures to be taken.
