This course covers Eligibility Framework Design for Cards, which involves understanding the scope, intent, and risk implications of designing eligibility criteria for credit card products within the Credit Card Credit workflow, particularly for accounts requiring structured assessment, clearly defined boundaries, and independent review. It focuses on establishing who qualifies for the product based on risk, income, credit history, and policy thresholds, ensuring consistent and controlled entry into the portfolio.
It evaluates key dimensions such as clarity of scope and intent, governance standards, and performance oversight mechanisms, with each representing a distinct assessment dimension that requires independent validation and documented rationale before any credit action is finalized.
It is distinct from portfolio diversification strategy, as it focuses on the structured definition of entry criteria—such as income thresholds, bureau score cut-offs, employment stability, and exclusion rules—ensuring that only appropriate and risk-aligned customers are onboarded, rather than broader strategies that guide overall exposure distribution. Within Eligibility Framework & Risk Gatekeeping, the senior credit leader sets portfolio limits, governs exception criteria, and drives strategic alignment across the Credit Card Credit function, shaping escalation scope and credit committee priorities.
