SwissMetrics Reviews

Summary: This tool is very helpful for a risk manager of a company.
The tool provides the credit score, risk summary, performance rations, P&L statements, Balance sheet, cash flow statement, sanctions, PEP, KYC, Credit limits (to be entered) and one can enter private data.

Positive: Easy tool to use! For listed companies you get the metrics and the calculated credit score (including how it is calculated), the balance sheet and P&L data including ratio's you can select, and very useful for international companies is the integration of a number of countries sanctions lists.

Negative: Available data is mainly from listed companies but are able to enter private data yourself to calculate the credit score.

Summary: In the past I would use multiple systems: one for credit checks, sanctions screening, excel and google search and even then we were taking lots of "gut feeling" decisions. With SwissMetrics, everything is in one platform, with data driven decision making and prioritises my work flow with a series of alerts. I highly recommend SwissMetrics if you want to save time and make smarter decisions.

Positive: I liked the intuitive design of the platform that helped me get all the relevant information in seconds, like the Quick Score and sanctions screening all in one place.
SwissMetrics has tools to automatically calculate credit score for private companies - this is something I have not seen before and saves me multiple hours per week.
Also the alerts are great as it tells me what the priorities are.

Negative: No real cons. I wish all my systems were this easy and intuitive.

Summary: Extremely positive experience thus far. Natural overlap of financial risk and commercial risk management functionality adds extra dimension, neatly complimented by the "Request for" feature with respect to financials and KYC.
Cultural as well as digital transformation is a likely outcome here.

Positive: Intuitive and efficient UI lends itself to logical credit and counterparty risk management workflow, including onboarding disciplines~ KYC/Sanctions & PEP listings.
Extensive coverage ~ 89 countries/>190m companies
Centralised portfolio view, ability to network and make forensic financial analysis by geography/industry.
Quick Score risk classification - valuable early marker of a company's 'health'.
Enables secure access to private company data.
Limits - credit risk recognition and management.
Unlimited company enquiries/searches.

Negative: No capability for UBO analysis.
Automatically calculated credit limits not easy to benchmark so the transparency level given to Quick Score could usefully also be applied here.
