Working with Credit Risk, Retail Risk Analytics plays a key role in developing data driven, automated solutions and in the monitoring of current processes to support the business and operational teams in managing risk, at both transactional and portfolio levels and setting policy and procedures.
The importance of optimal data driven solutions for capital and credit decisions cannot be over-emphasised. The bank has moved into a new regulatory environment where capital comes at a premium and puts returns under pressure. The need to clearly understand drivers of credit losses, capital and income, and develop appropriate capital and LIC planning and risk v return decisions becomes paramount to unlocking optimal capital deployment, and maximising return for the RBWM and CMB businesses. Getting it wrong can have damaging and irretrievable impact on the bank – it is vital therefore that the right management and structure are in place to ensure success.
