One Year in Executive Loan Review For the last year almost without exception I have had the opportunity to attend Executive Loan Review every week. What follows are what I have identified as main themes from these meetings. Purpose: It may seem that the purpose of loan review is to learn how to be a better lender. While I have learned a great many things about lending in these meetings, that education is largely incidental to the primary purpose. That purpose is to understand the risk appetite of the Credit Union. By risk appetite is meant both the amount and type of risk that Utah First is willing to acquire so as to succeed in our mission as a financial institution. While Policy 7150 outlines the portfolio targets, Executive Loan …show more content…
By “why us” we want to understand the relationship. Occasionally we as lenders can miss this mark and get caught up in the purpose of the loan and neglect finding a true motive. That is, a member may say that they are applying for a credit card so that they can build credit. Building credit is very likely not a true motive. We want to know why they have that desire. As is often asked in loan review “did they just wake up one day with a desire to build credit?” We need to understand true motive to be able to be significant for the member and make an informed credit decision. While the motive entails “why us” and “why now” we also want to answer the question “why this.” We want to be able to find the best solution for our member that we can. This entails finding the right product as well as cleaning the plate. The next six questions help us do this. They can be split into two categories. First is further understanding our relationship with the borrower. We want to know if we are their PFI, if they have a checking account, etc. Second is assessing the full financial picture. We want to understand what they drive, their income, their assets, their ratios, and which way the credit score is trending. These principles all lead back to the question “do we believe they will pay us back?” Ratios, income, and assets help us understand the member’s capacity to pay the loan back. Relationship and credit history help us assess if our member has a pattern of
Analysis and evaluation stage is a single channel, interest rate multi channel, loan terms single channel, and final issuing a multichannel. (Exhibit A)The current structure of the analysis and evaluation stage does not maximize staff time effectively and as a consequence creates a bottleneck in the process. With the single channel structure loan applications are unevenly distributed among teams and create higher idle time for teams with less volume of loan applications to process. Utilization among regions varies greatly between 73% - 95%. The following observation of the current structure was achieved using the MMK model (See exhibit B):
Four months after my niece’s graduation party, she got an email with a subject line indicating that she would soon need to start making payments on her student loans. Employed only part time and sharing a room in a small apartment to keep costs down, she was afraid to open the email. Since I know something about student loans, I offered to help her out. I took a Sunday morning drive to her place.
As competition increased between savings and loans, banks, and credit unions, banks were eager to attract loan applicants in order to increase revenue and compete with other financial institutions. Jack S. Light, the author of Increasing Competition between Financial Institutions, said in his book that “commercial banks are diversifying their assets toward higher percentages of mortgages and consumer loans, and thrift institutions are seeking authority to diversify their loan structures. Moreover, mounting pressures are working toward, and have partially succeeded in, changing the authority of thrifts to include third-party payment accounts similar to commercial bank demand deposits.” (Light) Because of this eagerness to bring in new clients, they were willing to give out loans without checking into the financial stability of the borrower or the business that was requesting the loan. Unfortunately since the banks didn 't look into their clients’ financials adequately, many clients defaulted on their loans because they could not afford the payments, especially when balloon payments started.

They are interested in the company’s ability to pay obligations when they become due, especially during the operating cycle.
The increased pressure on mortgage lenders to be socially responsible and lend to all groups create an opportunity for banks to lend more and charge higher fees to select borrowers who they feel pose a greater risk of default (Palmer, 2015). The primary purpose of the CRA is to assist minorities and lower income individuals from neglect and discrimination. The CRA policy might have forced the banks to implement change to aid individuals who may not qualify for a home loan to be eligible. If the banks did not follow suit with the CRA policies, they might have missed opportunities, such as mergers, acquisitions, and profitability (Elbarouski, 2016). Allen (2011) concluded loose lending led to expanding homeownership in the United States, but lending to riskier borrowers led to an increase in the foreclosure

Life insurance is meant to provide funds to replace a breadwinner's to protect and support dependents. Chad and Haley are dependents, not income providers. Therefore, the purchase of life insurance is unnecessary and not recommended. The Dumonts should use the money they would spend on policies for the children to increase their own coverage.
It is imperative that young adults comprehend the facets of obtaining and maintaining proper credit in order to sustain a sound credit history. For example, the most widely used credit score is Fair Isaac Corp.'s FICO score, which ranges from 300 to 850. A FICO score of 760 or higher reveals an individual’s respectable borrowing power, for even a recently reported late payment can have a substantial effect on a credit score (Holmes). In addition, young adults can learn the importance of securing proper credit and increase their attractiveness in lender’s eyes by aiming to use less than 20% of one’s available credit (“Get”). Since lenders pay close attention to the amount owed on credit cards relative to the limits provided, lenders are able
Advise clients to raise questions to the lender, request any changes to the loan and arrange walkthroughs earlier in the process and before the CD is issued where possible; and
Though the popular notion is that student loans follow you throughout your entire life, there is a way for you to become debt-free sooner than you might have expected. If you have taken out any federal loans, you are potentially eligible for “student loan forgiveness”.
The Department of Education in recent times has embraced a new system regarding student loans, bringing on board a customer-friendly policy. According to this new scheme, students will now have access to loans with easier and less complex repayment terms. This development will help them fast-track the repayment of their debts without hassles. The Department of Education also integrated an income-based repayment plan: a flexible approach geared at facilitating student finance in their most dire hour of need. Sadly, despite having the potentials to substantially pull off the amount of burden on people’s shoulders, this income-driven repayment scheme hasn’t gained much traction and acceptability among the general population. This is due to
Case Name The Smithson’s Mortgage Case Study Teams This case is designed to be conducted by a team of students. The discussion, questioning, and resolution of differences is an important part of the learning experience. Another significant advantage is the sharing of the workload in preparing the final case study report. Knowledge Background This case draws heavily on the material presented in Chapters 2 and 3 of Principles of Engineering Economic Analysis, 4th Edition by White, Case, Pratt, and Agee, particularly Section 3.4 (Principal Amount and Interest Amount in Loan Payments). To a limited extent it draws on concepts from Chapter 4 (Measuring the Worth of Investments), Chapter 5 (Comparison
