Credit data, analytics, and risk scoring solutions for insurance carriers, lenders, and financial institutions since 1982.
Overview
Digital Matrix Systems (DMS) is a credit data access and analytics company founded in 1982 by David McGough in Richardson, Texas. Headquartered in Plano, Texas since 2020, DMS has spent over 40 years helping insurance companies, banks, credit unions, and auto lenders make smarter risk and underwriting decisions through reliable credit data and analytics.
DMS pioneered multi-bureau credit integration, becoming the first vendor to provide access to all five major credit bureaus from a single desktop platform. Today the company processes the largest volume of consumer credit reports in North America and serves over 500 clients across financial services and the insurance industry.
For property and casualty carriers, DMS delivers credit-based insurance scoring, tri-bureau attributes, custom risk models, and supporting analytics. Its modular, API-accessible architecture lets insurers integrate data services without mandatory product bundles or transaction minimums.
