Study Notes

Bank Credit

Bank credit is a transaction between two entities where a bank transfers assets to a customer for repayment of both principal and interest.
Credit extension is an agreement allowing use of funds with repayment principles.
Lending, discounting, finance lease, factoring, bank guarantees, letters of credit, and credit cards are credit extension operations.

Bank Credit Characteristics

Transactional assets in bank credit are diverse, more so than other forms of credit.
Risks in bank credit are unavoidable and cannot be fully eliminated.
The essence of any credit is the full repayment of principal and interest.
The repayment of debt is unconditional.

Credit Classification

Credit can be categorized by purpose (business, consumption).
Duration (short-term <1 year, mid-term 1-5 years, long-term >5 years)
Origin (direct or indirect credit).
Customer credibility (secured or unsecured credit).
Debt repayment method (installment, non-installment, revolving).

Credit Process

Commercial banks follow synthesis of banking principles and regulations in granting loans, from application document preparation to repayment and termination.
Steps in credit process include application preparation, appraisal and analysis, decision-making, disbursement, monitoring, and closure.
Credit activities are influenced by factors such as bank, clients, and economic conditions.

Credit Application Preparation

Identify customers' needs (individuals or organizations).
Guide customers through procedures.
Banks conduct marketing to customers.
Gather bank, customer, and third-party information.
Gather necessary documents (legal, financial, credit).

Credit Appraisal and Analysis

Collect information from various sources (customers, bank, third parties).
Analyze and evaluate this information, considering the 5Cs (Character, Capital, Capacity, Conditions, Collateral) and CAMPARI (Character, Ability, Margin, Purpose, Amount, Repayment, Insurance) models.
Assess risk and make recommendations

Credit Decision

Decision making may be centralized or decentralized based on the complexity of the transaction.
Decision-making is based on information from appraisal and analysis steps.
Decisions can be approve, reject, or other options.

Credit Disbursement

Disbursement procedures and methods are documented.
Disbursement procedures include one-time, multiple times, cash or transfer, simple, and conditional methods.
Documents related to disbursement are defined and organized properly.

Credit Monitoring

Monitoring of credit is crucial for identifying and managing risks.
Monitoring is periodic (financial, purpose, credit guarantee) or regular (accounting, repayments, legal).

Credit Closure

Credit closure is the winding up of loan obligations.
Can be default, mandatory, or problem debt related.

Credit Methods

Lending, Discounting, Factoring, Financial Leasing, and Issuing Credit Cards are common credit methods.
Various methods exist for credit provision, each with their own set of characteristics.

Financial Leasing

Financial leasing involves a contractual agreement for a lessor transfering property to the lessee for a specified time period.
Leases may be short (operating) or long (capital) in nature.
The details of transfer of ownership rights, rental periods and total rental are key to financial lease agreements.

Issuance and Use of Credit Cards

Credit cards are tools for the use of a pre-agreed credit line.
Different types of credit cards exist, categorized by origin, use, and form.
Card issuance and use are detailed to show a cyclical pattern to be aware of.

Bank Guarantee

A guarantee is a written commitment to perform an obligation on behalf of a customer.
This means that in the event of a customer’s default, the guarantor (the bank) assumes the responsibility to fulfill contractual obligations.
Different types of guarantees exist, such as those related to payment, bids, and contract performance.

Loan Security

Loan security involves taking measures to protect the lender's interests in the event the borrower defaults.
Collateral, such as property or other assets, is a common form of loan security.
Other forms include pledges, mortgages, security deposits, and letters of guarantee.

Escrow Deposit

Escrow deposits secure performance by transferring money or valuables into an escrow account.
