RSU is the leading provider of internal rating systems for wholesale banking in Germany. These systems are based on a unique and continuously growing data pool, which we use to develop and validate our rating models. We also work on other solutions for measuring and assessing credit risk. As a full service provider we handle the IT implementation and operation of our systems for banks, insurance companies, and other financial institutions in both the public and private sector. Currently more than 7,000 users in Germany and abroad work with our systems. RSU originated from a joint project of eight German Landesbanken and DekaBank and has been operating as a separate company since December 2003.
