Key Challenges We Address
Keeping pace with fast-changing financial regulation
- Banks and insurers are adapting to stricter rules on data, AML, consumer protection and capital. The revised Law on Credit Institutions took effect on 1 July 2024.
- This expanding compliance agenda calls for practical prioritisation. YCP helps teams assess regulatory gaps, redesign controls and embed sustainable governance.
Meeting rising expectations for digital financial journeys
- Non-cash payments rose 57.5% by transaction volume in the first 11 months of 2024, increasing pressure for secure, seamless and personalised omnichannel services.
- Against this rapid shift, YCP helps institutions define digital roadmaps, improve customer journeys and scale partnerships with fintech and technology providers.
Protecting portfolios amid uneven credit recovery
- On-balance-sheet non-performing loans at credit institutions reached about 4.9% at the end of 2023, while property-sector stress continues to affect credit quality.
- As portfolio risks become more complex, YCP supports stronger underwriting, early-warning models, collections strategies and risk-adjusted growth planning.
Building trust in an increasingly data-driven market
- Decree 13 on personal data protection has applied since July 2023, raising the stakes for consent, data governance and cyber resilience across financial services.
- With trust central to adoption, YCP helps organisations map data risks, strengthen operating models and turn responsible data use into a customer advantage.
