2 Content 2 Credit card dual nature System of statuses Multinomial logistic regression Macroeconomics and cycles Panel data and regression Utilization rate modelling interst income Profitability modelling non-interest income Modelling examples Exposure at default prediction Resume and client behaviour

3 Credit card dual nature 3 Credit Card has dual nature: Payment tool and Loan Payment tool Credit card Convenie nt loan What is the confident definition for revolver? Positive outstanding balance during 3 months, 6 months,? If only once paid off full amount? Outstanding balance is stochastic value in the range from 0 to Limit. Clients is split up two group: revolvers and transactors Revolver user, who carry a positive credit card balance and not pay off the balance in full each month roll over Transactor user, who pay in full on or before the due date of the interest-free credit period Competent user do not incur any interest payments or finance charges Credit cards dual nature and profitability were investigated by: Crook, Hamilton, Thomas (992) Banasik, Crook, Thomas (200) Ma, Crook, Ansell (200) So, Thomas (2008) Cheu, Loke (200) Tan, Steven, Yen (20)

4 Logistic regression means the binary target. Multinomial regression uses more that two values target. Credit Cards Statuses 4 Inactive The main task to estimate the probability of transition from status to status on the client level. Default Delinquent Revolver (standard) Transactor Transition matrix (classic approach) is calculated on the portfolio/pool level The problem the number of statuses which account can transfer to is more than two (for example, revolver can be transactor, delinquent, stay revolver, or inactive)

5 Multinomial logistic regression 5 We need to predict the probability of transition to the certain state (0,, 2, ) Multinomial logistic regression is a regression model which generalizes logistic regression by allowing more than two discrete outcomes This kind of the models can show weaker results than ordinal logistic regression, but better than tree of conditional logistic Cumulative probability of the transition for two different statuses

6 Map of statuses 6 Account status Definition Risk assessme nt Revenue assessment Note closed Account is closed or inactive more than 6 months No No Exclude from analysis inactive transact or OB (-6M) = 0 and Turnover (-6M) = 0 OB (-6M) = 0 and Turnover (-6M) <> 0 No No R No OB TR PR TR No predicted revenue and risk (avg interchange rate + fees rate)*tr current OB > 0 and DPD = 0 Behaviour al Score Limit*IR*PR + Beh. and Revenue Rate Scorecards for B0 R TR Current delinque nt OB > 0 and DPD > 0 and DPD <=90 Behaviour al Score Delinq. R TR + Penalty? Beh. and Revenue Rate Scorecards for B-3 defaulte d OB > 0 and DPD > 90 LGD - Recovery is not revenue

7 Credit cards income sources 7 Status Interest Fees/Interchang e Penalty Non active Transactor -/+ + - Current (revolver) Delinquent Defaulted - - +/- Different income sources can be applied on different life-time stages Delinquent customer can bring an income, but not defaulted client

8 Credit Limit = 3000 Credit line Income Prediction 8 For interest income Utilization = Balance / Credit Limit IR_Income = Utilization Rate x Limit x IR For non-interest income (POS, ATM, Interchange etc.) POS Income = TR Debit_POS x POS_fees_rate Interchange = TR Debit_POS x Interchange_fees_rate Cash Withdrawal Income = TR_Debit_ATM x ATM_fees_rate 50% X IR = IR Income Interest Income from Balance: 500 UAH X 36% /2 = 45 UAH Monthly transactions: 000 UAH POS X 2% = 20 UAH 500 UAH ATM X 2,5% = 2,5 UAH Total Non_Interest Income = 32,5 UAH Total Income = 45+32,5 = 77,5 UAH

9 Rates Modelling 9 First approach logistic regression with binary transformation p i T logit pi ln w w x w x wp x p w x p i where p i is the probability of particular outcome; w 0...w p are regression weights; x...x p are characteristics. For UT rate is the share of balance - the weighted logistic regression with binarization. Parameters Outcome Binarization Parameters Outcome Weight X 0,75 X 0,75 X 0 0,25 Second approach Linear regression with Beta-transformation Distribution density function given via Gamma function It s possible to build a wide variety of distribution shapes

They have an impact on client behaviour as systematic factor

The correlation between deltas (changes) of indicators is more stable. 0

12 Panel data and panel 2 regression Types of the data in econometrics: Cross-sectional by economic items at the same point of time (without any relation to the time) Time series observation of the economic values ranked in time In practice often this two dimensions is joined: Independent join (not ranked in time) pooled data Data slices Balance Jan, Balance Feb as Balance row, Balance row 2 Panel data two-dimension array (cross-sectional data ranked as time series) Ranked Data slices - Balance Jan, Balance Feb as Balance t=, Balance t=2

13 Panel data advantages 3 Higher number of observations results increase in the levels of freedom, gives more efficient estimations Heterogeneity of the sample objects is under control Testing of the effects which is impossible to identify separately in cross-sections and time series Decrease in multicollinearity It s possible to build more complicated behavioural models and decrease the influence of the missing values and incorrectly measured observations

14 Panel linear regression 4 y uit it x T it u i t it it i index individual, t index time, β vector of regression coefficients, x it T transposed vector of observations independent characteristics. μ i, λ i non-observed individual and time effects, υ it residual idiosyncratic components. y it X it it Pooled model α и β intercept and slope is independent from observation and time Х it - vector of regressors (predictors) Approach with time slices is widely applied as industry standard, for instance, to create development and validation samples from the data set with not enough observation at the point in time or to take into account different seasons. Assumption: dependence between factors is stable in time correlation between observations is not taking into account But in practice it is not true!

15 Panel linear regression 5 Fixed effect model y it it ui X it vit i - individual intercept (specific effect) Intercept is varying across groups and/or times Error variance is constant Random effect model y u X i v it it u i v it - Random effect Intercept is constant Error variance is varying across groups and/or times

24 Profitability ratios Income part of the ratio: Interest Income = IR x Limit x Utilization Rate Non-Interest Income = POS Income + ATM Income Two approaches of profitability calculation denominator: Average Outstanding Balance real profitability Credit Limit profitability on allocated sources Profitability = (Interest Income + Non-Interest Income) / Average Outstanding Balance Or Profitability = (Interest Income + Non-Interest Income) / Credit Limit

25 Credit Limit = 3000 Exposure at Default estimation 25 Expected Loss EL = PD x LGD x EAD +40% +200 at Default Point Exposure at Default for credit card: EaD L UR L UR CF 50% CF (conversion factor) the percent (share) of the additional usage of remaining credit line at the default point. The credit conversion factor (CCF) converts the amount of a free credit line and other off-balance-sheet transactions (with the exception of derivatives) to an EAD (exposure at default) amount. L credit limit Some investigations of EaD - Jacobs (2008), Qi (2009) 500 CF = 200/500 = 80%

Utilization rate illustrates the fact that credit line profitability doesn t depend on the utilization rate pro rata. PD

27 Resume Client Behaviour 27 Transactor Revolver Competent Reveolver Interest Income Low/ No High No Non-Interest Rate High Low Low Risk Level Low Moderate Moderate/ High Competent Revolver the worst client from the profitability point of view (but not the sales volume point of view) It s recommended to build strategies in the Card business with the risk revenue principle to maximize the profitability. Areas of application: Limit management segmentation by revolver/transactor risk limitation and usage motivation Pricing not only risk-based, but use motivation Marketing differentiate target groups Use of panel data helps to avoid the impact of time heterogeneity on model results
