AI agent for credit analysts
Concentration Limit Monitor Agent
Keep exposures within limits and catch breaches before approvals are signed
What it does
A bank can end up with 22 percent of its book in one industry because each loan looked fine alone. This agent aggregates exposures every day by borrower, industry and region and checks them against the limits. It models pending approvals to see what would breach if they close, and shows the headroom left. When something would breach, it proposes options such as selling a participation, reducing the commitment or waiting for a payoff, and recalculates the exposure with each option. It continues checking after each change. Credit officers approve any exception to the limits. Edge case: a borrower group with linked entities is aggregated as one, even when the entities have different names.
How it works
Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.
