    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is CRiskCo?

    CRiskCo is a fintech platform that provides AI-driven credit risk assessment, compliance monitoring, and supplier intelligence for financial institutions, enterprises, and accounting firms operating in Mexico and LATAM.

    How does CRiskCo use SAT data for credit risk?

    CRiskCo connects to Mexico's SAT (Tax Administration Service) to analyze CFDI invoices, financial declarations, and fiscal data in real-time. This data is processed using AI and machine learning to generate credit scores (FinScore), financial ratios, and risk assessments.

    What is CRiskCo's FinScore?

    FinScore is CRiskCo's proprietary AI-generated credit score that evaluates the financial health and creditworthiness of Mexican businesses by analyzing their SAT fiscal data, transaction patterns, and financial behavior over time.

    Does CRiskCo offer compliance monitoring?

    Yes, CRiskCo provides continuous compliance intelligence including blacklist monitoring, regulatory checks, KYS (Know Your Supplier) analysis, and network risk detection for accounting firms and financial institutions.

    What industries does CRiskCo serve in Mexico?

    CRiskCo serves banks, SOFOMs, leasing companies, factoring companies, fintechs, accounting firms, and large enterprises across Mexico and LATAM that need credit risk assessment, compliance monitoring, or supplier due diligence.

    How long does it take to integrate CRiskCo?

    CRiskCo offers flexible integration options including a ready-to-use web platform, REST APIs, and white-label solutions. Most API integrations can be completed within days, and the platform can be used immediately with no technical setup required.

    Is my data secure with CRiskCo?

    Absolutely. CRiskCo uses enterprise-grade encryption, complies with Mexican data protection regulations (LFPDPPP), and maintains strict access controls. All data is processed in secure environments with 99.99% uptime and continuous security monitoring.

    How is CRiskCo different from traditional credit bureaus?

    Unlike traditional credit bureaus that rely on historical credit data, CRiskCo analyzes real-time fiscal and transactional data from SAT, providing a more complete and current picture of a business's financial health — especially valuable for SMEs with limited credit history.

    Can CRiskCo help with Know Your Supplier (KYS) processes?

    Yes, CRiskCo's KYS solution automates supplier due diligence by continuously monitoring compliance status, blacklist exposure, fiscal health, and network risk across your entire supplier base — replacing manual, periodic reviews with real-time intelligence.
