Abstract: Disclosed are electronic systems and techniques for implementing credit scoring based on information aggregation. An aggregator component can obtain data relating to a user from virtually any open, publicly available, or private sources of information, and generate, or update, a profile of candidate characteristics based on the information obtained. A scoring calculation component can inspect the profile of candidate characteristics, determine a set of factors included in the profile of candidate characteristics that are relevant for a loan or credit eligibility determination, and rate the factors. A credit score for the user can be generated based on the ratings of the factors, and the eligibility of the user for one or more loans can be determined as a function of the credit score. In this regard, banks and retailers can automate credit scoring and loan eligibility determination using information about the applicant that is readily available.

Abstract: Technologies are generally described for systems and methods effective to create and use a unified charging system that provides instant loans in a networking environment. In an example, a loan can be provided when a payment at an online shopping site, such as an online shopping portal, is rejected due to insufficient funds. The loan can be automatic, or the loan can be provided in response to acceptance of a loan offer. In another example, pre-approved credit can be used to pay at an online shopping site when the cash and credit accounts associated with a virtual charging account have insufficient funds to complete the transaction. The payment can consist of a portion, or all of the pre-approved credit. The pre-approved credit can be granted on request, or can be automatically provided based on an analysis of open source information about the holder of the virtual charging account.
