Bloom 2024 Furnishment Updates
It’s been a busy year at Bloom. In case you missed it, our Bloom+ product won Best in Show at FinovateSpring 2024. We’re excited about this honor, primarily because it cements to us that banks, credit unions, and investors see the credit data problem as a big one to be solved. We’re happy to be part of the solution.
Here’s what else we’ve been up to in the first (almost) half of 2024…
Business Bureau Reporting
Clients can now report business accounts to the Business Bureaus to improve their business credit scores.
Input/File Generation Validations
We implemented 68 data validations that either would flag invalid inputs according to the CRRG or auto-populate the correct values according to the CRRG. This will help ensure:
- Data accuracy
- Compliance and reporting
- Fewer errors at file generation
- Overall trust from partners
- Better internal decision-making on behalf of the business
Account / Consumer Event Reporting
This is important as it allows for proper Compliance Condition Codes, Special Comment Codes, and Consumer Information Indicators to be reported:
- Bankruptcy
- Foreclosure
- Forbearance
- Disputed
Added 2023 CRRG® Revisions
We have made updates according to the 2023 version of the Credit Reporting Resource Guide® (CRRG®), to accommodate new requirements for reporting residential rentals.
Added New Account Types
We have added the following account types for furnishment:
- Telecommunications/Cellular
- Utility Company
- Business Line Personally Guaranteed
- Business Loan
- Rental Agreement
