9 Business model Decentralisation Nonnegotiable The branch is the bank No bonus Credit policy Business control system Responsibility and Accountability Customer No central marketing No budget 9

10 Credit policy Credit responsibility always at branch level Credit Responsibility Customer and credit responsibility closely related The branch holds full economic responsibility for granting the credit If necessary, the branch obtains support from the regional head office and the central credit department Basic Guidelines The assessment always starts with the borrower s repayment capacity Weak repayment capacity can never be offset by collateral or high margins Quality requirements must never be neglected in favour of large volume Credits must normally be adequately secured The credit policy is the same in all markets and remains unchanged over the business cycle 10

11 Our experiences of loan losses As little as 30% of loan losses are related to the initial credit decision A majority, all as much as 70%, of loan losses are related to how you manage and monitor the credits over time Staying close to the customer is crucial 11
