However, most of these institutions are not recognized or supervised by the CNBV, which translates into risk for users of services to financial institutions, highlighting the inefficiencies in their lending processes, and decisions to accept or reject a credit application is based on knowledge, experience and judgment of the loan officer. This paper presents the evaluation of a credit scoring system1 in terms of cost-efficiency for savings and loan institutions in specific for SOFIPO's and in terms of cost-benefit to the service provider assessment of loan applications.
