  • A global scoring from A to E to assess your customer’s cash solidity

  • A scoring based on the aggregation of 9 relevant financial and behavioral indicators


Bank X-Ray aggregates, categorises and analyses banking data to provide a real-time report on your customer’s financial health. A Bank X-Ray report is generated every time a new bank statement is uploaded on the October Connect platform.

Let’s dive in.

Bank X-Ray Scorecard

The first section of the Bank X-Ray report gives an overall assessment of the company’s cash health using a letter-based scoring system from A to E (from overall positive to overall negative).

If the data sanity, which refers to the quality of the extracted data, is lower than 70%, then no rating will be assigned to the Bank X-Ray report.

How is Bank X-Ray overall score calculated?

The overall score is based on the aggregation of scores assigned to 9 indicators analyzed by Bank X-Ray. These scores range from A to E, with each indicator having its own weight that impacts the overall Bank X-Ray score. Below, you can find the indicators listed in descending order of weight on the overall score:

Bank X-Ray overall score is based on:

  • The score assigned to each indicator (C, D and E scores will generate alerts),

  • The weight of each indicator on the scoring model.

The Bank X-Ray overall score is therefore calculated by summing the weight of all indicators with alerts. In the table below, we share a general guideline to assess the score:
