ZRS: The effective strategy for mass markets — consumer credit, planning and risk mitigation

ZRS guarantees each individual transaction with consumers and protects your credit sales. Learn how it works and why it’s essential for companies operating in mass-market credit.

ZRS consumer credit

In Mexico, thousands of companies are growing by providing credit to individuals: financial institutions, department stores, leasing companies, service companies, retail businesses, and fintechs. But this growth brings a huge challenge: non-performing loans, which can destroy liquidity and hinder expansion.

Traditional alternatives — such as credit insurance — are often expensive, slow, or focused on business portfolios, not individual consumer transactions.

That's why ZRS (Zero Risk Score) was created: a surety bond that guarantees each individual loan granted to individuals. An agile, scalable solution designed for mass lending.

This article explains how ZRS protects your portfolio, how it integrates with your operations, and why it's a key tool for any business that sells on credit.

1. The problem of consumer credit: high risk, tight margins

Businesses that sell on credit to individuals face three main pain points:

❌ 1. Frequent non-payment

Customers may default due to unemployment, unforeseen circumstances, or poor planning.

❌ 2. Costly recovery processes

Collection, lawsuits, and follow-up require time and specialized equipment.

❌ 3. Lack of real mitigation tools

Typical alternatives (guarantee, bureau, promissory notes) do not guarantee recovery of capital.

In a mass market, small repeated defaults become a structural risk.

2. What is ZRS and why does it work so well for consumer credit?

ZRS (Zero Risk Score) is an individual surety bond that guarantees payment for each contract granted to a personal client. It was designed for companies that grant simple loans, leases, and financed sales.

✔️ Key advantages

• 100% coverage of the guaranteed balance.

• Issuance per transaction, not per portfolio.

• No guarantor or credit bureau requirements.

• Quick assessment based on our own scoring system.

• Backed by Aserta, a leading surety company in Mexico.

Your company can sell more without increasing risk.

3. How does ZRS work within your operation?

Step 1: Your company provides credit or financing.

Step 2: ZRS coverage is requested for that operation.

Step 3: ZRS evaluates the profile and approves the warranty.

Step 4: An individual surety bond is issued for each client.

Step 5: If the client does not pay, the surety company pays the guaranteed amount to your company.

Your risk = Zero. Your growth = Scalable.

4. Why does ZRS outperform traditional credit insurance?

While credit insurance is geared towards large corporate portfolios, ZRS focuses exclusively on B2C operations.
