3.5.1.3 Zip Matrix

The system uses the zip code of the applicant’s current home address to determine which credit bureau to use when automatically pulling a report. The Zip Matrix screen allows you to record the credit bureau from which a report is pulled based on a range of zip codes, as well as the company, branch and country of the account.

When searching for a zip code match, the system:
  1. Reads the first credit bureau defined in the matrix
  2. Reads the credit report format to get the appropriate membership code and password for the user’s location
  3. Requests a credit report.

If the system cannot pull a report from the first bureau, it pulls one from the second. If the zip code you entered does not fall in the matrix setup, then the system uses a default zip matrix (0000000000 to 0000000000) to select the required bureau.

To set up the Zip Matrix
  1. Click Setup > Setup > Administration > User > Credit Bureau > Zip Matrix
  2. In the Credit Bureau Zip Code Matrix section, perform any of the Basic Operations mentioned in Navigation chapter.
