Raymond Anderson wrote the textbook on credit risk modelling, two of them in fact, and so when I was looking for someone to help me lay the foundation for How to Lend Money to Strangers, his name was top of my list.

Raymond walks us through that journey, from spies in royal courts to FICO scores to machine learning, before I turn the spotlight on him to find out about some of the projects that have kept him interested in credit scoring for so long.
