Integrated Rating System (SNI)
African Credit Bureau
SNI is an application that mainly performs the financial rating of a company – applying for credit – based on its financial data from the BALANCE SHEET and the INCOME STATEMENT. The financial data is loaded into the application either through an EXCEL template or via a dedicated interface and the resulting financial rating is performed on key financial ratios.
Features:
- Financial rating
- Qualitative rating
- Guarantee rating
- Sector analysis
- Commitment portfolio analysis
- Events database
Automate. Integrate. Optimize Performance.

The stakes and importance of the SNI (African Credit Bureau) application
Banks are engaged in a process of upgrading to Basel 2 / Basel 3 with profound impacts on:
- Global organization (business and IS)
- Governance and risk assessment
- Reporting and communication
In the context of risk assessment, one of the constraints is the implementation of an internal rating tool capable of providing:
- A stable and complete risk measurement
- A credit pricing system aligned with the level of risk
- A regular and efficient monitoring of the commitment portfolio and the various protections
- An internal weighting system to estimate the level of regulatory capital in line with exposures (IRB foundation or IRB advanced)
The SNI (Integrated Rating System) is part of the tools required for the transition to Basel 2 / Basel 3 imposed by the BCEAO, but also constitutes a comparative advantage in a very competitive banking environment, which is characterized in particular by profound transformations of banks’ information systems.
The SNI can be customized to the needs and realities of each bank within the limits of regulatory requirements and technical constraints.
Managing your organization’s digital transformation shouldn’t take up all your time. Let OnPoint Digital Africa do the work and focus your teams on what matters.
Focus on financial rating
The proposed financial rating is based on a set of statistical principles (sampling, modeling, testing, etc.) and business assumptions (choice of pools, number of risk classes, calibration of contributions) that should be shared.
Sample
- More than 650 Ivorian companies observed over a 5-year period
- Default is observed after 90 days of unpaid invoices
- The model was built essentially on the basis of the balance sheet and the income statement (SYSCOHADA’s Normal and Simplified Private Accounting System)
Measurement of the probability of default
The internal rating indicates a default rate observed on the sample at 1 year which will allow the bank to :
- Choose to lend or not to lend according to its risk appetite and its credit policy
- Rate the cost of the loan in relation to the guarantees offered.
Sector analysis
- Each company is evaluated in relation to the average performance achieved in its sector of activity.
- The choice of the sector is left to the discretion of the analyst who can opt for the classification level of his choice (branch, activity, product or sub-product)
"It's great that the SNI application can be customized to the needs and realities of our banking institution within the limits of regulatory requirements and technical constraints."
