I am part of a central team called RETAIL CREDIT LAB: Data & Analytics that has enabled me to work on a broad scope of content across the whole of Retail in the bank, some projects I have worked on include:

  • Taxi book analysis : there was an emerging credit risk on the Taxi book and I contributed to the solution by developing a detailed dashboard that is used to provide monthly analysis for the taxi book in MFC including impairments profile movements, Credit Loss Ratio, growth trends, stage migrations and coverage total .
  • CLR analysis : built a detailed dashboard that is used to provide analysis for the Credit Loss Ratio across all Retail products.
  • Stage 3 Health analysis : developed a report that is used to update stage 3 health data which is essentially the analysis of account’s performance after they go into default i.e what happens to this accounts after they enter stage 3 .
  • Nedbank Commercial Banking analysis : built a power BI Dashboard that has a view of Recovery Managers' MoM & YTD performances on NCB Legal Recoveries . Performance are measured by showing each NCB legal account's Monthly & YTD Recovery, Cost of recovery & Write Offs .
