## Overview

- **Vendor Type**: data_provider
- **Headquarters**: UK
- **Year Founded**: 2013
- **Employee Count**: 120
- **Description**: Credit Consensus Ratings provide a unique measure of creditworthiness on 64,000+ counterparties and borrowers across corporates, financial institutions, and sovereign entities, based on inputs from 40+ leading global financial institutions, almost half of which are G-SIBs.
Credit Benchmark receives a 1 year forward looking Probability of Default (PD) linked to the contributing banks’ internal rating. These PDs are averaged, to get the consensus opinion of the default risk of the counterparty in the next 12 months. The consensus PD is also mapped to a letter rating using a custom Credit Benchmark rating scale that has been calibrated using banks’ internal rating scales.
Credit Consensus Ratings are supplemented by descriptive analytics that provide insights into the underlying credit views that make up the consensus.
