Corporate risk management
with groups of connected clients
In the corporate sector, it is a common practice to process applications by first scoring the risk group of the client and then assessing the existing and proposed exposure levels for this group. To manage the complexities associated with SME & Corporate lending effectively, financial institutions can efficiently handle Groups of Connected Clients (GCC) at a group level.
By utilizing this approach, financial institutions gain a strategic advantage in managing lending complexities. The GCC framework allows for a more comprehensive evaluation of risk, as it considers the collective exposure of interconnected clients within a group. This enables a more accurate assessment of potential risks and benefits when dealing with multiple clients who are interconnected through various business relationships.

Besides, Banks are able to introduce preventative measures that could help to mitigate certain risks.
