Scotiabank: Enabling real-time credit analysis

Scotiabank is the wholesale banking arm of the Scotiabank Group, with 29 offices and more than 300 relationship managers organised around industry specialties. It offers a wide variety of investment and corporate banking products and services to government, corporate and institutional clients. In 2010, Global Finance magazine named Scotiabank as the Best Investment Bank in Canada, Best Foreign Exchange Bank in Canada, and Best Infrastructure Bank globally.

For Scotiabank and many others, the credit crisis demonstrated the speed at which market conditions can impact counterparty credit risk. “The credit crisis highlights the importance of having a clear consolidated view of counterparty credit risk.
