Production heritage

We've already done this — at scale, in the United States.

ECL Express is not a concept platform. It is a production system used today by U.S. banks and credit unions to comply with the FASB CECL standard, with documented audit trails, examiner-ready reporting and quarterly close cycles.

RBI ECL Framework

Understanding India's Expected Credit Loss requirements.

The RBI ECL Directions replace the incurred-loss model with a forward-looking, lifetime expected-credit-loss approach. Institutions must assess credit risk at origination, monitor for significant deterioration, and hold provisions that reflect probability-weighted macroeconomic scenarios.

Accepted methodologies

Five regulator-accepted approaches.

RBI Directions permit multiple methods. The optimal choice depends on portfolio granularity, data availability, and internal model risk maturity.

02

Vintage Analysis

Tracks loss emergence by origination vintage and seasoning period. Calibrates lifetime expected loss from observed cumulative charge-off curves by product and origination quarter.

Best suited for
Mortgages, personal loans, SME term loans
Platform architecture

One platform. End-to-end ECL.

A single integrated stack — from raw loan ingestion through regulator submission — eliminating the spreadsheet sprawl typical of first-time ECL builds.

Client experience

Trusted by financial institutions across the United States.

Real production deployments, real audits, real quarterly closes — and now extended for India.
