Many times it is not enough that a client has been carefully studied and credit correctly granted. It is necessary to take care of it, pay special attention to it, under the circumstances. All of which is obtained with portfolio management. How many correctly granted credits are lost because either they were not administered, or their administration was deficient.

The administrative processes that are handled in the portfolio area must be very agile, in order to give the debtor the Best service, through a prompt response to your concerns.
