A quick way to detect risky loan originators

How to see the crash coming?

It’s been almost a year that we have launched the mintos loan originator statistics section. Thanks to our active community members, the feature has been steadily improved. Today, the web page comprises various statistics charts and aggregations; as well as the telegram bot, that sends every day an alert for the mintos pending payments changes.

Undoubtly, we had a highlight last year: Members of our community saw the Wowwo debacle coming before mintos suspended the originator from the market. The loan originator was suspended officially on 17 December 2021 on mintos. However, thanks to our analytics we could already warn our followers on telegram on 14 December 2021 that things are going badly.

To even further improve our insights, we have added a new chart to the statistics page: the late loans out of the loans outstanding ratio chart. The metric basically shows you the percentage of late running loans out of the active loan portfolio of a mintos loan originator.

Growing late loans indicate risk

How does that help us?

See for example the late loans percentage for Watu Credit:

The late loans share of the loan originator has been growing. Today, it has crossed 60% of late loans within its portfolio. It would be a good case to start asking questions.

Or for example the chart of IDF Eurasia, one of the biggest and popular loan originators on mintos:

Interestingly, we can identify here two local maxima. The first around beginning to mid of January. This coincides with the protests that shook the country. Having crossed the 20% of late loans share, the rate dropped a bit after the crisis. However, with the beginning of the Ukraine Russia war, late loans have grown again. Now around 50% of the loans are late.

You can also list all loan originators sorted by their share of late loans. By this, you can get familiar with the ranking of the loan originators:

Look again at Wowwo! On December 4^th, 2021 the loan originator had a share of late loans of 12.97%. On December 4^th – the day of its suspension from mintos – it had crossed already 50%.

After all, a growing share of late loans can be seen as an early indicator of risk.
