An outcome of our Founder’s three decades of modelling and quantitative finance research, BB-ALM™ is a powerful analytics eco-system to meet the challenges of current and emerging risks.
Using a single data source, BB-ALM™ produces results for informed and timely decision making, internal and external reporting, covering Financial Analysis, Asset Liability Management, IFRS 9/CECL, Capital Stress Testing and Lifetime Income, both at top-down and bottom-up levels.
Organizational corporate structure at banks is dominated, even inadvertently, by functional silos. Each of these functions own a different set of data and processing mandates. Since data processing is often done in a sequential order, any changes identified at one silo triggers reprocessing at another - inefficient, ineffective and hazardous to overall performance.
Collecting and reporting data is time consuming with time lags often in excess of 1 month. This delay in performance reporting and issue identification creates a significant source of surprise with missed opportunities to minimize losses and maximize profits.
BB-ALM™ is an unrivaled, first of its kind software application, designed to avoid surprises, and provide better evaluation of strategic opportunities, without risking the business. BB-ALM™ is a powerful combination of 5 strategic models, covering Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A), Asset and Liability Management (ALM), Strategic CECL/IFRS 9, Capital Stress Testing and Lifetime Income.
Featuring high-speed cloud computing and a dashboard that provides a snapshot at 10,000 feet and drill down capability of discrete loan performance within the portfolios,
BB-ALM™ allows CEOs and applicable functions to quickly identify and execute on tactics that enhance the loan book’s performance, removing silos and promoting high performance across verticals.
BB-ALM™’s integrated reporting facilitates on-going assessment and optimization of your strategy and plan, enabling you to continuously assess the impact of stressors on your funding strategy,
contingency funding plan and key performance metrics and ratios, mitigating your liquidity planning processes. No more potential for gaming of the system and reporting delays:

Core Benifits
- All Hands on Deck
- Consolidated into a single, integrated solution, BB-ALM™ removes reporting lags and addresses “unexplained” gaps in performance while also harmonizing stakeholders’ visibility and expectations by integrating performance targets with business and functional accountability.
- Performance Benchmarking
- BB-ALM™ acts as a key lever to improve returns through real-time visibility of new deals, their impact on overall portfolio return, including competitive and target-driven benchmarking, enabling shrewd strategic decision making.
- Strategic Modelling Application
- This strategic application is designed to remove severity skew - proven to create a smooth loan distribution, limiting the impact of significant increases in credit risk due to inherent flaws in the rating system which lead to higher Expected Credit Loss.
- Easy Conversion
- With no downtime, converting into production is easy and painless. Excel-based interfaces make it intuitively easier for users to upload data, review results and create customized filters - becoming productive on the system with minimal training.
- Flexible Analytics Eco-system
- BB-ALM™ gives users a choice of one or all models within its eco-system. Each model in BB-ALM™ includes comprehensive documentation on methodology, in compliance with regulatory requirements that will alleviate audit, validation and regulatory pressures.
- Regulatory Compliance
- Designed to meet and exceed the guidelines laid out by the Federal Reserve’s Interagency Policy Statement on Funding and Liquidity Risk Management SR10-6 and capital stress testing at Large & Non-complex BHCs SR15-19 (and other jurisdictional regulatory frameworks) for mid-sized BHCs to eliminate risks inherent with maintaining complex, outdated and manually generated spreadsheets.
- Cost savings
- By streamlining financial data management, processes and reducing duplicative manual efforts, BBA’s software leads to significant cost savings.
