Credit Scoring using Digital Footprints: Principles for Model Risk Management

credit scoring

Models sit at the centre of modern decision-making, risk management, and operational processes. From credit scoring and capital planning to fraud detection and customer personalization, they help organizations turn data into actionable insights. However, as organizations rely more heavily on models — and as these models become increasingly complex — the risks they carry also grow. Poor design, inadequate validation, misuse, or neglect can undermine not only a model’s performance but also stakeholder trust and regulatory compliance.

This document outlines a practical framework for managing model risk. It outlines clear principles and practices to help ensure that all models — regardless of type, complexity, or origin — remain reliable, transparent, and aligned with both business objectives and regulatory expectations.

Viet Nam: Creating Pre-Conditions for a Nonperforming Loan Market

Since 2020, #VietNam has experienced a surge in nonperforming loans (NPLs). Not only does the growing number of NPLs reduce the stability of the banking system, but each one represents a borrower excluded from credit markets. Many of the NPLs are consumer debts, meaning poorer households are particularly hard hit.
 
IFC - International Finance Corporation’s collaboration with The World Bank, SECO Economic Cooperation and Development, and local Vietnamese partners has led to the creation of specialized bankruptcy courts and increased private sector investment. IFC's investment aims to strengthen Viet Nam’s financial system, model best practices in debt collection, and give so-called “distressed but viable” companies a financial future by providing them with a new opportunity to settle their debts.
