This course covers Target Customer Segment & Persona Definition, which involves understanding the scope, intent, and risk implications of defining target customer segments and personas 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 identifying who the product is designed for, their financial behavior, risk profile, and expected usage patterns, ensuring alignment with both business objectives and risk appetite.
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 customer segments and personas—such as salaried professionals, self-employed individuals, high spenders, or new-to-credit customers—ensuring that product design, underwriting criteria, and customer treatment strategies are tailored appropriately, rather than broader strategies that guide overall exposure distribution. Within Credit Card Proposition Design, 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.
