About Financial Profiles in Siebel Communications

End users create a financial profile to perform a credit check on the customer. To verify a customer’s credit, Siebel Communications submits a request to a back-office application or credit bureau. The back-office application or credit bureau sends back a response that includes a credit score that determines whether the customer is authorized by internal credit policy to subscribe to services. These back-office applications perform credit checks for incorporated businesses or individuals.
