The SCORE grade of the Applicant is mainly formed from various criteria of the credit history, based on which the applicant's creditworthiness is assessed using a scoring system. The score allows the financial organization to model and predict the possible behavior of the applicant during the period of the new loan, taking into account the eagerness of the applicant to repay previous and current obligations, the frequency of taking on new obligations and other criteria.

"ARMECONOMBANK" OJSC company uses the scoring system of evaluation developed and implemented by the Bank.

The factors affecting the SCORE grade are: credit burden, availablity of recorded income, previously overdue liabilities and etc. Each equest of credit history may have a negative impact on SCORE grade of the particular applicant and reduce it.

The customer's credit history and score can be improved by taking the following steps:

• fully repay existing overdue loan obligations and exclude even one day delays in performance of obligations on current loans;
• avoid becoming a guarantor for loans of untrustworthy persons in the future;
• have recorded income.
