Transforming Commercial Loan Origination

Barriers to Growth

The client aspires to be a preeminent bank. It aims at providing premium services and a superior customer experience.

The Bank was on a growth trajectory and wanted to efficiently manage the growing volume of its Commercial and Industrial, Commercial Real Estate, and Small Business Administration loan applications.

As a starting point, it wanted to overcome the lengthy origination of loans without compromising on effective regulatory compliance and risk management. It also realized the value of engaging customers digitally and harnessing technology for offering a seamless digital experience. Further, the Bank was burdened with siloed and unstructured processes. It was unable to utilize the information residing in its legacy systems. It lacked a mechanism for tracking and monitoring loan applications, covenants, and customer documents. The bank lacked a defined workflow for the renewal and modification of SBA loans and there were no means of reviewing critical loan parameters.

In order to overcome these barriers to growth and to deliver quality services to its customers, the bank decided to automate its loan origination.
