来源 | 节选自第一财经 今年消金公司转让的不良贷款呈现出逾期时间缩短、定价降低等新特点。此前消金公司大多通过批转方式盘活积 压数年的坏账，但近期不少消金公司选择将批转推向处置前端。 在他看来，受让方的资产评估专业能力与催收水准也很重要，否则对于双方而言，消费金融不良贷款转让处置的 效果实际可能并不好。 例如，中邮消金在2024年第1期个人消费信用不良贷款转让项目中，借款人加权平均逾期天数仅103.22天，主要为 次级贷款，全部未核销；中银消金在2024年第20期个人消费信用不良贷款转让项目中，借款人加权平均逾期天数 为107天，全部为未核销的次级贷款。 此外，定价较低或也是部分消费金融机构犹豫的一个原因。一名业内分析人士告诉记者，由于消金公司以小额无 抵押贷款为主，借款人多通过线上渠道申请，催收难度相对较大，所以目前大多机构项目起始转让价格对应债权 金额的比重均低于10%。许多机构内部也在争论是加大催收力度，还是进行不良资产批量转让。"哪种方式带来的 现金回收效果更好，目前还较难判断。"他说。 "未核销之前，将不良贷款包出表，有助于缓解不良压力，减轻拨备核销压力，为利润争取空间。"一名消金资深 人士对记者表 ...
