Bus/Financial - Business/Commerce (general) / French Bank memo - overdraft facilities
French term or phrase: approche risque
Any ideas what the sense of 'l’approche risque' is in this context?

"Le montant de la facilité de caisse est déterminé selon les revenus et besoins du client. Toutefois, un minimum de 500 EUR est préconisé pour les adhérents [Product X] après analyse de la situation du client, l’approche risque étant inchangée et doit prendre en compte la détention d’une carte de paiement. Si l’adhérent bénéficie d’une facilité de caisse inférieure à 500 EUR, le conseiller proposera de porter cette autorisation à 500 EUR si la situation bancaire du client le permet."

The context is a bank document discussing the benefits of a current account 'package' which in most cases entitles the account holder to have an overdraft facility of minimum 500 euros. Does it mean something along the lines of 'risk assessment', and if so, why is it referred to as 'inchangée'?

Many thanks to anyone able to make sense of this sentence.

Explanation:
if the risk aspect has not changed. In other words, the bank recommends 500 eur for product X customers, but only after analysing their personal situation and concluding that their risk factor has not changed.

Explanation:
Charlotte: It means they run the customer's history through their risk assessment formula for probability of default, and if their rating remains the same, they will allow them that overdraft.

HEre's a very up-to-date explanation of all this. Very well written and easy to understand...for me...

Risk Management: As risk patterns change, the detection mechanisms must evolve with them (static filters have only short term value). New methodologies in terms of built-in deviation detection that alerts users or automatically triggers the creation of a new model as incoming data changes should be in place.

Detect the main risk parameters per country and per sector;
Develop a reliable behavioral score model to evaluate the probability of customer default;
***Perform back testing of credit ratings by analyzing the impact of the parameters taken for the rating estimation on the probability of default***;

Of course, it does mean, credit risk rating ..but I think they are talking about the fact the customer\'s rating for risk remains unchanged...
