Maria Kupa
Credit Risk Analyst · Stockholm
I am a credit risk professional with more than five years of experience in Nordic banking and financial services and an MSc in Economics. At PayEx, I monitor credit portfolio performance across consumer and business products, providing analysis to support risk assessment and executive decision-making.
I apply data analysis to assess credit risk, monitor portfolio performance and identify emerging risk trends. I analyse portfolio data and customer behaviour to assess changes in credit quality and communicate findings to credit committees and senior management.
Using Python, SQL, dbt and Power BI, I develop automated monitoring and reporting tools that strengthen controls and reduce manual work.
