This course covers Relationship Tenure & Behavioural Risk, which involves understanding how relationship history, customer conduct, and behavioural patterns influence business credit risk and repayment reliability, within Business Loan Credit (Proposition). It applies to accounts requiring structured assessment, clear boundary definition, and independent review before any credit decision is finalized.
It evaluates key dimensions such as relationship tenure, behavioural conduct, transaction and repayment patterns, and promoter quality, with each requiring independent validation and documented rationale to ensure that behavioural insights are reliable indicators of future credit performance and aligned with risk appetite.
It is distinct from portfolio diversification strategy, as it focuses on structured identification of behavioural risk signals and exposure-level relationship assessment, rather than broader portfolio allocation decisions—each governed by separate evidence standards, ownership, and approval authority.
Within Relationship, Behavioural & Governance Risk, the credit manager validates team-level analysis, approves case recommendations, and manages segment-level exposure within Business Loan Credit (Proposition), directly influencing escalation scope and credit committee prioritization.
