Banks’ unsecured loans clock CAGR of 27% between FY15-18: Crisil

05 Jul 2018 Evaluate

Credit ratings agency, Crisil Ratings in its latest report has said that banks’ unsecured loans clocked a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 27 percent, or nearly four times growth in bank credit between FY15 and FY18. It noted that growth in unsecured loans is largely due to surge in discretionary spending, increased availability of customer data, faster disbursements driven by technology, as well as lower interest rates in some segments.

The ratings agency further explained that unsecured loans are the loans where individual exposures are smaller and more distributed and given without any collaterals but banks get higher margins. It also said that typically personal loan, education loans and credit card spend falls under this category of loans. Besides, it highlighted that as of March 2018, outstanding unsecured loans stood at around Rs 5 trillion, accounting for 26 percent of retail lending, compared to 21 percent three years ago. It also stated that financiers are expected to focus more on this segment due to attractive yields.

According to the report, return on assets are 2.5-3 percent for personal and SME loans, and 3-4 percent for credit cards, compared to under 2 percent for home loans and new passenger vehicle loans. It pointed out that rising competition has led to lower rates in some segments such as personal loans. It also showed that in unsecured SME loans, rates have remained sticky, but average tenure and commissions paid to direct selling agents have increased.
