condition, prior to charge off.

activity in Canada.

that do not meet the minimum credit standards of the acquirer

Why sell Performing Receivables?
• Maximizing Return
 Selling receivables earlier in their delinquency when charge-off
probability is high yields a better price than selling the same
receivable post charge-off.
 Selling higher risk assets (generally, Customers who have a FICO
Score <675) from portfolios enables FI’s to de-risk remaining
portfolios and allow for lower provision of capital against the core
assets. This yields an enhancement of ROI and ROC for the most
profitable segment of a portfolio.
• Exiting non-strategic business lines or non-strategic customer
relationships:
 Specific non-core products or industries that are no longer deemed
core for growth strategy.
 Undesirable geographies or regions where resources are thin and
account management is difficult.
Customer Experience
• Enhancing the Customer Experience
 Customers for whom the bank has made a strategic decision to
liquidate will be able to work with a long-term strategic partner who
will not take a “liquidate first” approach to their account.
 Partnering with a non-bank financial services company, who are not
constrained by strict OSFI or OCC directives, can yield improved
experience for the Customer.
Customer Experience Example
A senior executive of a major credit card issuer shared the experience
of a long term customer who injured herself at work. Recognizing she
would be living on reduced income during the period of medical leave
she contacted the issuer and made alternative arrangements during the
period of her convalescence.
Upon being cleared to return to work, she needed relief from one
month’s payment before resuming work to pay professional fees. This
resulted in a break of revised terms and necessitated charge off –
despite being able to resume her full monthly payments the following
month.
Thank you!
