The World of Consumer Lending has seen a drastic shift in innovations & risk management. Many domestic and international players have learnt from the debacle of the September 15’ 2008 Lehman Brothers tragedy. But has all Retail Banks in the region learnt a lesson? Is Consumer Lending still a secured method of making profitable business in Retail Banking? It worked for the last 10 years, it was a disaster in the last 18 months, so what now? Do we continue lending to our consumers or not? They say a successful retail bank is one that raises funds through encouraging their clients into deposits and investments and then lend money to their target customers. Are retail banks in today’s market following this pattern?

An average retail banking customer comes from a low income background. Understanding the heavy risks in lending money to such, should retail banks focus on new customer segments?

There are a lot more to discuss here, but the ground reality is that Retail Banks today want to enjoy the “Economies of Large Scale Production” as they used to before the September 15’ 2008 debacle.
