Notas do Editor
- High degree of convergence within retail lending –key driver being personal loans and cards, but mostly without proper ‘cross selling’ synergies ‘ Copy/paste’ sales/marketing prevails with little product differentiation amongst lenders Lack of knowledge amongst consumers leading to ‘inability' in handling credit War of the freebies!!! Huge dependence on foreign/expatriate workers
- Emerging markets are often submerging markets!
- The markers by which a Credit Policy should be judged and should reflect the best practices known at the time of development: New applications are decided optimally to ensure that the front end books the most profitable prospects. Customers are allotted credit limits/loans that reflect their worth and allow adequate space to spend profitably. Operational Risk (i.e. Fraud) is managed across the credit cycle to keep fraud losses at the minimum. Application scorecards and Behavioral scorecards are developed by specialists and supplemented by strong policy rules. Overdue and over limit accounts are accorded due attention and followed up in a timely manner. There is a strong collections infrastructure that places high premium on debt recoveries.
- External linkages (e.g. Credit Bureaus, Public databases, etc) are used effectively to obviate ‘internal’ errors. There are solid rules and regulations to manage external relationships (e.g. collection agencies, database companies, etc) effectively. Due care is taken of regulatory requirements (i.e. Central Bank, Consumer regulations, Sarbanes-Oxley, etc) in formulating the risk policy. Last but not least, the credit policy is aligned to the overall business goals and has strong links to other units in the business like Marketing, Sales, Operations, Compliance and Customer services.

Decision strategies are linked with the enterprise data to enable smarter, more consistent decisions in real-time environment.
- Any policy is only as effective as it is administrated and communicated to the relevant staff. To be classified as a sound Credit Policy implementation, it must enable the business to incorporate the following five principles: Optimize the Risk / Reward equation – By implementing the policy, the business is able to arrive at an appropriate balance between maximizing profits and minimizing losses. Accurate planning and forecasting – The policy enables both the front end (issuing and acquiring) and the back end (collections, customer services) to be in synchrony and complement each other. Manage by exception – The policy facilitates techniques to allow risks to be managed predictably. Promulgates timely analysis of information – Good MIS is read, analyzed, and used to make sound business decisions. Assign responsibility for managing risk – The policy pins responsibility on the right levels at the right degree.
- The Credit Policy must be drafted by the Chief Credit Officer or his/her equivalent, who is responsible for managing credit and risk for the business. In this respect, the CRO should seek inputs for the policy from the functional heads and the key staff in Risk Management. The policy must be mandatory reading for all executives and officers involved in the credit cycle. All staff in Credit who have direct responsibility for credit and fraud must be thorough with the Policy before they take up their assignments. Must ensure that the readers initial the flysheet in front of each volume; indicating the sections read. The CCO is also responsible for revising the Credit Policy to ensure it is an up to date and relevant document. Hence, the CRO must regularly consider whether statements of policy, operational procedures or controls, reports, systems and parameters require updates due to changes in the business. If so, proposed text, or amendments to established text must be duly re-written. The CCO must also formalize the Credit Policy by seeking approvals of the Credit Committee, CEO and Chief Risk Officer (in case of a bank). This ensures that the cards risk policy is integrated into the enterprise credit/risk policy and is aligned to the overall organizational goals
