Default probability

Default probability

Default probability is a value representing the chances that a borrower will violate the terms of a loan contract. If a borrower fails to make payments as specified in the loan documentation, that borrower is said to be in default. Lenders use default probability as one factor in approving and setting terms for loan requests.
