NewsVoir Gurgaon (Haryana) [India], May 13: Paisabazaar, India's largest marketplace for consumer credit and free credit score platform, announced today the launch of 'PB VCR' (Paisabazaar Video Credit Report) - an AI-based video representation of consumers' credit report. PB VCR would provide each consumer their credit score, along with their performance on various aspects that impact their score, through an easy to understand and jargon free video. The AI-powered videos would offer insights around one's credit behaviour, enabling deeper awareness and responsible actions, around key aspects including repayment history, credit utilization, credit enquiries, credit mix etc. As PB VCR evolves, it would also provide each consumer with personalized solutions and recommendations to improve their credit health.
