Experian-Equifax / How Credit Card Companies Earn ?

« Last post by komal on June 29, 2020, 10:59:46 PM »

The entire gross loan portfolio of the Credit Card Company is not interest earning portfolio. The gross loans (credit card receivables) portfolio is divided into three parts depending upon the interest earning capability:

Transactor receivables: Dues which are paid within the due date of payment and thus company does not earn any interest. Credit Card company earns by way of MDR charged to the Retailer (~ 1% to 2%). Most Corporate Cards are in this Category as they don't believe in paying exorbitant Annual Percentage Rate - APR 24%-36% on Revolving Credit or High Interest on EMI Loans about 15%.

Term loan receivables: Dues are converted in equal monthly payments (EMI) by the customers and thus earn interest income for the company. Term loan usually carries lower interest rate as compared to the Revolver receivables. As per SBI Cards website, the interest on EMI loans is in the range of 14-15%. As per company filings, ~30% of the portfolio is term loan portfolio in 1HFY20 and has been at similar levels in past.

Revolver receivables: Dues which are revolved from current month to next month, earn interest income for the company.

In our study we have found that the Credit Card company's Loan Book is equally split between the above 3 categories.

India Credit Cards / Personal & Business Loans / How SBI makes Money on Corporate Card ?

« Last post by komal on June 29, 2020, 07:44:55 PM »

The corporate card business model is characterised by:

Lower loans-to-spend ratio as it is unlikely that corporates would incur 20-40% interest costs on term / revolver loans on cards. The entire loan book would largely comprise only transactor loans, which earn no yields. As the yield on transactor loans is 0% and would have to be funded at the cost of funds, i.e. card issuers do not earn interest from corporate cards.

Revenues driven largely by fee income, within which spend-based MDR would be a large component. Since the spend per card on corporate cards would be significantly higher, the lack of interest income is made up for by fees.

Theoretically, corporate cards are a high RoE business, given large operating leverage and lower capital consumption (lower loans).
However, there are a lot of operational challenges that act as bottlenecks. Low bargaining power against corporate clients also means a meaningful part of the MDR must be passed back to the corporate clients as kickbacks or rewards or interest-free credit periods. Profitability depends on ability to underwrite credit limits and select the right kind of corporate customers.

For SBI Cards, corporate cards account for ~29% of spend, though they account for <1% of cards in- use.

Experian-Equifax / Multiple Cards + High Utilization Impact

« Last post by cardbhai on April 23, 2020, 09:59:08 PM »

One of the factors your Experian Credit Score depends on is the current balance on your credit cards in comon to the credit limit.

In other words if you have multiple credit cards with a balance that is close to the credit limit / high credit, it is likely that your Credit Score will be impacted. Ensure you do not accumulate huge balances on your card and if you do, always try and pay off the balances on your card to avoid reaching the credit limit.

One of the factors your Experian Score depends on is the number of active loan / credit card accounts reported in the last 24 months that carry a current balance. A high balance on such active accounts will impact your Credit Score. Paying off the balances on the loan and credit card accounts as well as not having too many open lines of credit with current balances will help maintain your Credit Score.

CIBIL Credit Report Score / How Monthly Payments affect Score ?

« Last post by cardbhai on April 23, 2020, 09:55:10 PM »

Your CIBIL Score is not only dependent on your timely payments towards loans/credit cards that have been availed but also the amount that has been paid.

E.g. If you have a high credit utilization on a credit card and are making monthly minimum payments by the due date, this will not affect your payment history. However, this will impact your CIBIL Score as the minimum payments made is low in comon to the actual amount payable.

You can maintain your CIBIL Score by making timely payments every time, as well as ensuring you are paying off the balances on the loans/credit cards. Paying more than the minimum due will help bring down the total outstanding on the accounts.

India Credit Cards / Personal & Business Loans / COVID-19 Impact on Loans

In our view, the most vulnerable segments are two-wheeler, new-to-credit and self-employed customers. Salaried borrowers with good CIBIL scores may also default given the uncertainty around job losses or salary cuts. BAF’s collection infrastructure will have to be ramped up significantly to address the surge in bounce rates. Our channel checks suggest that while it is possible to scale up collection infrastructure at the field agency level, this will come at a cost and may not be as efficient because the agents will have to cater to other financiers too.

New to credit 35%
