CRIF, one of the main sponsors of the conference, is the Continental European leader in the development and management of credit reporting, business information and decision support systems for the retail credit market.
Operating in Russia since 2005 as a founding member of the National Bureau of Credit Histories (NBCH), CRIF provides local banking and financial institutions with added-value services for the credit risk management, mainly focusing on analytics, consulting, outsourcing and software solutions.
CRIF professionals and important international banks will share their experiences in fraud detection and scoring models implementation with the participants, as well as the development of internal rating systems for the retail credit sector.
“Undoubtedly, Russia offers remarkable opportunities for retail banking players” - says Mr. Carlo Gherardi, CRIF’s Chief Executive Officer - “Moreover the credit environment shows increasingly competitive pressure, due to both the launch of new consumer finance products and services from local banks and foreign credit institutions that have recently entered the market. Relying on our expertise and know-how in the credit risk management, we aim to even provide ever-better support to Russian banks and financial institutions in meeting current and potential needs. Russia plays a key role in our expansion strategies in Central and Eastern Europe, where we are already present in the Czech Republic, the Slovak Republic and Poland”.
