Whether you’re an established business or a startup, risk mitigation is a constant concern. Risk-taking is a fundamental aspect of banking, so it’s no surprise that banks have always practised risk management – it’s essential for their survival. After all, risks have been inherent in the banking system ever since the first Sumerian merchants borrowed barley from a temple thousands of years ago. Without credit risk management in banks, the industry wouldn’t have lasted as long. The main shift over time has been the need for more advanced strategies for credit risk management in the 21st century. As the popular saying goes, ‘Modern problems require modern solutions.’ Credit risk management is a significant part of a financial institution’s overall risk management strategy.
