Vienna, Austria, March 3, 2008 -- Fair Isaac Corporation (NYSE:FIC), the leading provider of analytics and decision management technology, today announced at its InterACT customer conference that Home Credit Group, a major consumer finance player in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) and Central Asia, has selected Fair Isaac's proven software technologies for Enterprise Decision Management (EDM). The integrated solution will enable Home Credit Group to implement automated decision strategies to further enhance profitable growth in consumer lending operations, and support its long-term growth objectives across the CEE and Central Asia region.

Under terms of the agreement, Home Credit Group selected three core Fair Isaac EDM technologies that will help the lender build its own enterprise-wide risk management infrastructure to automate, improve and connect decisions for enhanced business performance. The EDM technologies include Blaze Advisor™ business rules management system, Model Builder and Decision Optimizer. By bringing together business rules and advanced analytics in a single decision service, Home Credit Group will be able to deliver the optimal origination decision to each customer transaction across products, countries and touchpoints.

"This agreement with Home Credit Group offers us significant opportunities to broaden the reach of our market-leading tools and expertise for Enterprise Decision Management in the fast-growing credit markets of Central and Eastern Europe and Central Asia," said Robert Duque-Ribeiro, vice president and managing director of Europe, Middle East and Africa Markets at Fair Isaac. "We are committed to delivering premier EDM solutions and technologies that seamlessly integrate and interoperate with our clients' decision environments. This agility and scalability will help such leading financial services providers as Home Credit to keep pace with the growing demand for consumer credit, while enabling fast, concise and precise decisions across the entire group of companies."

"As consumer credit markets in CEE and Central Asia continue to develop and mature, we are keenly aware of the importance of having sophisticated decision technology in place that can support our growth and further improve our responsible lending capabilities through rigorous risk management," said Pavel Vyhnalek, Group Chief Risk Officer at Home Credit Group. "Fair Isaac has a strong reputation and proven track record in decision and risk management across Europe and Asia. We believe that this robust set of rules management and analytic capabilities will deliver a significant competitive advantage. It gives us the efficiency, agility and speed-to-market that we need to best serve our rapidly growing customer base."

Home Credit Group initially will roll out Fair Isaac's EDM tools in the rapidly growing consumer finance markets of Russia and Belarus. The group plans to expand its use of Fair Isaac technologies to cover operations in other emerging markets in CEE and Central Asia, and China and Vietnam in the near future.

The announcement was made at Fair Isaac's 2008 European InterACT customer conference in Vienna, where Home Credit International's Head of Fraud Prevention Tomáš Kocka will present a case study on the bank's adoption of Blaze Advisor software as the core enterprise platform for deploying underwriting strategies in these fascinating, but sometimes high-risk new markets. The annual forum also features Pavel Vyhnalek in a panel discussion on Risk Management as part of the conference's closing general session.
