How will you make an impact in this role?

The incumbent will lead the customer management for the US portfolio for both consumer and sbs portfolios within the CBO strategy team.

Credit Bust Out (CBO) begins when a person establishes credit: under their own name or by creating a synthetic identity (or business). The individual either busts out immediately as a first payment defaulter or may work to build a strong credit profile, making on-time payments, increasing credit limits, and applying for more cards. After credit is built, the “bust-out” takes place. The individual maxes out the credit accounts and ceases making payments. These schemes are often orchestrated by highly sophisticated individuals or criminal rings/networks working in tandem.
