Leveraging Data, Modelling and Behavioural Attributes to Optimise Lending and Deposits while Complying with Basel III
Announcement posted by Tellus PR 10 Nov 2016
ADELAIDE, AUSTRALIA (Nov. 10, 2016) – Nomis Solutions today announced that Damian Young, the managing director of Nomis Solutions Australia would be presenting at the ARCA National Conference 2016. The conference, organised by the Australian Retail Credit Association will be held from the 9th to 11th of November at the Hilton Hotel in Adelaide, Australia.
Young’s presentation titled, “Optimizing Lending and Deposits Portfolios based on Customer Behaviours, Basel III and Profitability,” will begin at 9:00 a.m. on Friday, 11th of November 2016.
Tighter restrictions on investor property lending and foreign investment levels in Australia and New Zealand, have introduced new challenges to the home lending market. Home loan pricing is also under pressure as borrowers become more aggressive in scouring the market in search of better deals.
“In addition to the threat of cutthroat pricing, retention of existing home loan customers is also becoming difficult,” said Young. “There is a ‘leaky bucket’ syndrome at play here where banks’ lending activity is only just barely enough to maintain the status quo as existing customers leave for better deals.”
Since the adoption of Basel III liquidity measures, Australian and New Zealand banks have been focused on growing core deposits to support the funding mix and provide a more stable basis for lending. To compete for deposits, banks are maintaining high interest rate offers despite the lowering of the Official Cash Rate, putting pressure on banks’ margins and profitability.
“Another challenge for Australian banks is changing customer behaviours, attitudes and preferences,” said Young. “People want a personal relationship with their bankers. They also want the best deals, convenience and speed.”
Responding to these multiple challenges without sacrificing bank profitability, shareholder returns and asset growth, is a major hurdle for banks.
“Without a scientific approach to this conundrum, there is a danger that the market will ‘overprice’ deposits and ‘under price’ loans,” said Young. “Solely reacting to the market without an integrated approach to deliver more effective offers and pricing will potentially cause the same P&L issues we have seen in Europe and North America.”
The presentation will share case studies on the use of consumer behavioural information, data analytics, advanced modelling, and portfolio technology to optimise retention and acquisition without eroding profitability and growth.
