Dubai, UAE – The Emirates Institute for Banking and Financial Studies (EIBFS), a regional leader in banking and finance education and training, in collaboration with Al Etihad Credit Bureau (AECB), recently organised a training for trainers to teach EIBFS the latest developments on Credit Reports and Scores.
As part of the training, EIBFS trainers attended the day-long session at the Dubai Campus of EIBFS. The trainers meet a critical need of the banks’ continuing professional development and education of their employees at various levels, comprising Bank credit officers, credit analysts, bond traders, investment bankers, treasurers who work in the areas of credit, mainly lending facilities, credit risk analysis, credit pricing, products, impact of retail and corporate banking activity on credit quality.
All of these assume increased focus and evaluation after the establishment of AECB. Jamal Al Jassmi, General Manager of the Emirates Institute for Banking and Financial Studies, said: “Credit reporting is an important area in banking and the health of the sector and the economy is largely dependent on a robust risk assessment based on individual and corporate credit data available through the country’s credit bureau. In this regard, our effort to bring in an expert from AECB to train the trainers of our institute to enhance their required skills and capacity to impart knowledge, tools, and guidelines to deal with day to day challenges to their respective bank’s professionals will go a long way to ensure that credit analysis is done in the most effective manner to the satisfaction of the customer and the lender and meets the strong prudential rules set forth by the Central Bank.” AECB’s Credit Reports and Scores cover both individuals and companies. UAE residents can now buy Credit Reports and Scores via the new AECB mobile app or by visiting aecb.gov.ae
During the training session, an expert from AECB presented various modules, which touched upon:
- AECB’s role
- What information is included in the Credit Report for individuals and companies?
- What is a Credit Score and how it is calculated?
