These models cover the whole credit life cycle of the customer with the bank.

For expected loss models, it entails developing, implementing, and monitoring account-level retail credit risk rating, and parameter models (PD, EAD, and LGD); using these risk ratings and parameters to estimate and report the Risk-Weighted Assets (RWA) as required under the Basel II Retail Advanced Internal-Ratings Based (AIRB) approach, and the minimum regulatory capital and economic capital that the Bank needs to allocate against the credit risk in its retail product portfolios; and estimating allowance for expected credit losses for performing and impaired assets.

For scorecard models, which are used extensively within Retail Risk Management strategies, including credit adjudication, account management, early stage and late stage collection strategies, it entails developing, implementing and monitoring account level scorecard models as well as analytical tools (prototyping as necessary) for retail credit products by leveraging state of arts predictive/analytical methodologies, such as machine learning (ML) algorithms.
