YCP in Numbers
Key Challenges We Address
Balancing credit growth with elevated household debt
- Household debt was 88.4% of GDP in Q3 2024, while banks’ gross NPL ratio reached 2.78% by year-end, tightening the balance between growth and prudent lending.
- Against this backdrop, YCP combines portfolio diagnostics, customer segmentation and collections design to sharpen underwriting, restore accounts and protect margins.
Safeguarding digital trust as fraud moves at speed
- Thailand’s online scam losses exceeded THB 30 billion in 2023. As mobile banking usage scales, fragmented controls can expose institutions to fraud, cyber and conduct risk.
- YCP helps translate that exposure into action, mapping fraud journeys and control gaps, then designing risk operating models, response playbooks and customer safeguards.
Finding differentiation in the virtual-bank era
- The Bank of Thailand selected three virtual-bank applicants in 2025, raising pressure on incumbent providers to deliver simpler journeys, faster decisions and lower costs.
- In this shifting market, YCP aligns customer research, proposition design and economics to prioritize digital journeys that differentiate without eroding value.
Embedding climate readiness in lending and investment
- Thailand’s taxonomy now spans six high-emitting sectors, increasing the need for lenders and investors to assess transition risk and finance credible decarbonization.
- YCP turns evolving expectations into practical roadmaps, linking portfolio data, sector strategy and governance to scalable green products and disclosures.
