The average values of characteristics in every group are close to each other. The number in parenthesis is SD. OBS stands for the number of observations. EFX # stands for the total number of credit cards from Equifax data. CCC limit stands for a credit card limit in RBS bank. EFX limit stands for a total card limit in Equifax data. Behavior score is the credit score calculated by RBS bank. FICO score is the best known and most widely used credit score which is got from EFX bureau. U ratio utilization ratio
