Overview

Moody's CreditLens is the commercial credit analysis and origination platform from Moody's Analytics, now delivered as the spreading-and-scoring foundation of the broader Moody's Lending Suite. Launched in 2017 as the next-generation successor to Moody's RiskAnalyst, it automates financial-statement spreading, ratio and cash-flow analysis, and risk rating, and supports credit memos, approval workflow, and portfolio monitoring across the credit lifecycle. Its distinguishing feature is the embedded Moody's proprietary credit data and models, including probability-of-default and loss-given-default measures and implied ratings, which let banks rate complex corporate borrower hierarchies with externally benchmarked analytics. A separate product, CreditLens CRE, carries the name for commercial real estate. CreditLens is built for mid-to-large institutions, and its depth comes with enterprise pricing and implementation complexity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Moody's CreditLens still a separate product?
CreditLens is now delivered as the spreading-and-scoring foundation of the broader Moody's Lending Suite rather than a standalone top-level brand. It has been consolidated into the suite, not discontinued, and a separate product, CreditLens CRE, still carries the name for commercial real estate.
What is the difference between CreditLens and RiskAnalyst?
CreditLens launched in 2017 as the next-generation successor to Moody's older RiskAnalyst spreading and credit-analysis product. RiskAnalyst customers generally migrate to the newer platform, though Moody's has not published a formal end-of-life date for RiskAnalyst.
Who is Moody's CreditLens best for?
It is built for mid-to-large banks and lenders that need financial spreading and risk rating tied to Moody's proprietary credit models across complex corporate borrower hierarchies. Community banks often find it heavier and costlier than they need.
How is CreditLens deployed?
CreditLens is cloud-based, and Moody's has publicly documented a serverless re-architecture on AWS. Pricing is custom enterprise licensing and is not published.
