Study Notes

Character Assessment in Lending

Primary expectation from borrowers is trustworthiness, integrity, and reliability.
Poor behavior from borrowers negatively impacts the bank's reputation and increases risk.
Senior management's character is crucial as it reflects the company's overall ethics and decision-making principles.
Character assessments in consumer lending focus on past behavior and repayment history.
Positive attributes include honesty, accountability, and responsible financial behavior.

Credit Risk Assessment Frameworks

Credit officer's primary focus is to evaluate the borrower's creditworthiness through character and ability.
The 5Cs Framework is essential for analyzing credit risk: Character, Capacity, Capital, Collateral, and Conditions.
Not all components of the 5Cs Framework are necessary for every assessment; context matters.
The framework guides the loan approval decision by providing structured criteria for analysis.
Collateral is assessed to protect the bank's interests in case of borrower default.

Importance of Collateral

Collateral must hold value to mitigate risk for lenders.
A 'second way out' refers to alternative options the bank can secure to recover funds if the borrower defaults.
Characteristics such as liquidity and stability of value are important for assessing collateral.
A shift in collateral’s protective ability can increase the bank's risk exposure.
Strategic collateral can influence borrower behavior due to potential loss implications.

Creditworthiness and Risk Monitoring

Creditworthiness assessment considers multiple factors to ensure a comprehensive view of the borrower’s profile.
Lenders need to assess credit risk to safeguard against defaults and financial loss.
Borrowers' financial situations can fluctuate, affecting debt servicing capacity.
Clear title ownership and insurance are critical for maintaining collateral’s value and security.

CAMPARI Model in Consumer Lending

CAMPARI framework focuses on Character, Ability, Margin, Purpose, Amount, Repayment, and Insurance.
The model emphasizes understanding the borrower's character and their ability to repay loans.
Adequate insurance coverage is necessary to protect both lender and borrower interests.
The CAMPARI model is considered less complex than the 5Cs Framework in assessing consumer loans.
Lenders may require borrowers to demonstrate financial commitment and risk capacity for loan approval.

Loan Application Process Considerations

Evaluating loan applications includes consideration of the borrower's financing needs and purpose.
The nature of the loan, whether productive or speculative, affects the bank's decision-making process.
The margin of financing indicates the borrower's equity stake; a higher margin suggests more commitment.
Monitoring collateral's value is essential for the bank’s risk management strategies.
Recognizing old or undervalued assets as collateral can pose risks for lenders regarding recovery.

Loan Repayment and Financial Commitments

'First way out' refers to the primary method of loan repayment through expected cash flows.
Lenders evaluate not only character but also financial metrics when assessing potential borrowers.
Monitoring multiple factors is vital for accurate credit risk assessment to adjust to changing borrower profiles.
