QuickView

The QuickView report provides a summary of the customer's full credit report. Some constraints:

  • QuickView is generated by TransUnion; it isn't available for Experian or Equifax reports.

  • The report data is available through the Order a Credit Report API in JSON format, only. It's not provided as a component that you can drop into your application's web page, nor is it available (through the API) in HTML or PDF.

You can emulate the QuickView report by using selected Credit Summary Attributes. See the Emulating QuickView section at the end of this document for more information.

QuickView Properties

  • All values are strings, regardless of the values' native data types.

  • The TotalOpen<Type>Accounts properties are mutually exclusive. For example, while a mortgage is a type of installment loan, it's not counted in theTotalOpenInstallmentAccounts property; it's only counted in the TotalOpenMortgageAccounts property.

  • The sum of the TotalOpen<Type>Accounts values will always equal the OpenAccounts value.

  • The same mutual exclusivity applies to BalanceOpen<Type>Accounts.

PropertyDescription
AvailableCreditThe cumulative unused portion of the consumer's open accounts in dollars and cents.
UtilizationThe ratio of the cumulative balance across all open accounts to the cumulative credit limit. For example, a utilization of 0 means the consumer carries no balances; .25 means the consumer has used 25% of their cumulative credit limit; 1 means all accounts are maxed out.
OnTimePaymentPercentageThe percentage of accounts (open and closed) that the consumer has always paid on time. The value includes the '%' sign (see the example section).
TotalAccountsThe number of all accounts, whether open or closed.
DateOfOldestTradeThe date that the oldest account was opened in YYYY-MM-DD form. The account needn't be still open.
