Reduced Turnaround Time and Increased Productivity:
Major Finance Company
SITUATION: Vice president of credit, major construction and transportation lender
CRITICAL ISSUES:
  • Lender desires to reduce turnaround time on 2,500 monthly applications.
  • Lender wants to maintain a high-quality portfolio.
  • Lender wishes to increase the productivity of the credit department.
REASONS:
  • Lender has to check credit references via phone calls and fax requests.
  • Lender needs to respond quickly to dealers to maintain satisfaction and a high service level.
PAYNET:
  • We provided access to credit history reports via the Internet to eliminate the faxes and phone calls for credit references.
  • We provided training to the credit staff on use of the credit history reports.
RESULT:
  • Lender realized a 40 percent decrease in turnaround time to dealer.
  • The faster response enabled the lender to capture more dealer originations, which resulted in $50 million additional loan volume.
  • Reducing the time spent processing credit applications by half saved $260,000 per year.
