Competitive pressures, regulations and customer expectations are driving financial institutions to rethink the cost and efficiency of lending and risk management activities. IFC experience shows that greater digitization of the credit process is key to establishing a robust platform to:

• Prospect and service clients
• Improve risk decisions - selection, pricing, losses
• Reduce operational costs and risks
• Provide early warnings and remediate problems earlier
• Deliver effective portfolio analysis and information.

Investing in risk management capability supports the growth of profitable business, increases responsiveness to customers and efficiency in managing portfolio quality.

Join Cameron Evans, Global Product Specialist for Risk Management, International Finance Corporation, and Sanjay Nandrajog, Global Head, Risk Operations, Standard Chartered Bank, as they discuss how financial institutions can enhance credit risk management by necessitating further steps in automation, connectivity, delivery and decision making to create value. Sanjay will discuss Standard Chartered Bank's experience with adopting digital tools to improve consistency of credit decisions and transform early warning system.
