To be more precise, it looked at how credit risk identification and loan performance are related, how credit risk assessment and loan performance are related, and how credit monitoring and loan performance relate to DFCU Bank in Uganda.In addition to using both quantitative and qualitative research methods, the study was conducted using a cross sectional study design. Both basic random and selective sampling techniques were applied during the data gathering process, which involved the use of questionnaires and interviews. The study also employed a sample size of 44 respondents who work for DFCU Bank Jinja Rd and the bank's upper management.From the results of the research, it can be deduced that the methods used for credit risk management, specifically, credit risk identification, credit risk assessment, and credit risk monitoring at DFCU Bank (Jinja Rd Branch) have an immense positive impact on loan performance. As per the Pearson correlation coefficients obtained during the test of relationship between variables, credit risk identification had a correlation coefficient value of 0.672, credit risk assessment had 0.596, and credit risk monitoring had 0.654. Finally, the study recommended that DFCU Bank, Jinja rd branch, strengthen credit risk identification with advanced tools, maintain updated credit assessment guidelines, enhance continuous credit monitoring, provide regular staff training on modern risk management techniques and adopt risk-based client categorization to improve repayment rates, reduce defaults and sustain financial stability. | |
