Case Study: a leading multinational corporation streamlines municipal credit analysis with S&P Global Market Intelligence

A global corporation efficiently identifies and monitors creditworthy customers

A leading multinational corporation worked with S&P Global Market Intelligence to improve and streamline its public finance credit analysis processes. The company managed thousands of municipal clients and needed a faster, more consistent way to assess creditworthiness, but its internally developed solution had limited data coverage, relied on a single model across very different exposure types, lacked strong documentation, and made annual surveillance slow and manual.

S&P Global Market Intelligence implemented its Public Finance Automated Scoring Tool (PFAST), an Excel-based credit scoring and data solution, to automate scoring, spreading, monitoring, and scenario analysis across municipal and revenue bond segments. The solution helped the company streamline processes, reduce manual effort, generate credit scores in minutes, and more efficiently identify creditworthy prospects by region or segment, while also improving transparency, training support, and validation documentation.
