This course covers Negative Lists & Exclusion Framework, which involves defining and maintaining structured rules that identify prohibited customer segments, entities, behaviours, or exposure types that must not be approved for Credit Card Credit products, within Credit Card Credit. It applies to accounts requiring structured assessment, clear boundary definition, and independent review before any credit action is finalized.
It evaluates key dimensions such as governance of exclusion criteria and policy enforcement rules, performance oversight to ensure excluded segments are consistently identified and blocked from approval pathways, behavioural risk assessment to identify high-risk or prohibited usage patterns, and limit management controls that prevent exposure to restricted categories or customers, with each requiring independent validation and documented rationale to ensure that prohibited risk exposures are systematically prevented and consistently enforced across the portfolio.
It is distinct from portfolio diversification strategy, as it focuses on structured identification and enforcement of prohibited or excluded exposures within credit card underwriting and onboarding, rather than broader strategic allocation or diversification considerations—each governed by separate evidence standards, ownership, and approval authority.
Within Eligibility Framework & Risk Gatekeeping, the credit analyst executes the assessment, completes documentation, and flags exceptions for manager review within Credit Card Credit files, directly influencing escalation scope and credit committee prioritization.
