Increased Approval Rates and Reduced Credit Losses: Transportation Equipment Lender
|
| SITUATION:
|
President of a transportation equipment lender seeks to improve loan-originations process.
|
| CRITICAL ISSUES:
|
- The originations process is highly manual.
- The approval rate is low; some "good" applicants are declined.
|
| REASONS:
|
- Manually processing each new application is costly.
- There is a concern about inconsistent application of credit policy.
- The lender’s approval rate is far below the company goal.
|
| PAYNET:
|
- We retro-tested to find the transportation score for the lender’s booked deals.
- We analyzed decision-making practices to demonstrate the ability to approve high-quality applicants that were being declined.
- We recommended a swap set to reject low-quality deals and approve high scores.
|
| RESULT:
|
- Credit losses were reduced by 16 percent.
- Originations were increased by 5 percent.
- The overall value of this improvement was $2.7 million per year.
