Team CRM UCFIN (Romania) and Equipo BBVA (Spain) ended the competition at 5th and 4th place respectively. BBVA implemented a very effective strategy of stopping bad accounts (they ended with only 1,5% Bad Rate). However, because the loan values were higher, they suffered actual higher bad debt losses than CRM UCFIN. The competition was extremely tight with a difference of only 0,2% in the two teams’ final results.
Team BAWAG (Austria) came 3rd. Their Bad Rate was just 1.5%, so the Bad Debt Losses were approximately 2mn lower than Sber or Megamind 1,0. However the Interest Income was approx. 5mn lower because of the lower Interest Rates that were charged.
Crucially, all the top 3 teams benefitted from the bonus earned in the 3rd Round (Ascend Regulatory). Part of their success was due to the effective application of regulatory optimization.
Mega Mind 1.0 (South Africa) came 2nd. Part of the reason for being the runners up was the Regulatory Ascend impact. Also the funding costs were higher because of higher Loan Values being offered and Interest Income was slightly lower than Sber.
The winner of this edition was Team Sber who earn the title of Credit Risk Department of the Year 2020 with a final profit result of 12.8mn euro. The team worked hard to apply very effective segmentation, which allowed them to apply a very effective approach for Loan Value allocation and Interest charging, whilst still controlling Bad Debt.
Congratulation to all Team Sber members, who represented Sber Russia and BPS-Sberbank Belarus in SimRisk2020.
