Restructuring only allowed in exceptional cases

  4. Loan Product Comparative Table

  5. Lending Procedures:Promotion • Reach out to the communities and visit potential clients in their workplace (home, office or businesses). • Organize orientation sessions at Barangays. • Entertain walk-in clients • Distribute brochures • Caravan/Road Show

  6. Lending ProceduresPromotion • Due to increasing competition, AOs must adopt aggressive marketing strategies • Promotion is not a substitute for high quality services • The best and least expensive promotion a credit program could have is that of a satisfied client: Word of mouth

  7. Lending ProceduresPromotion • How to find a market for the product: • Existing bank clients Incentive for good performance for group and or individual loan clients. - New clients Lodging/boarding houses near schools or business districts.

  8. Lending Procedures:Loan Application • The loan application is simple (one page). The AO fills out the application with the client • Most of the information in the application for first loans assess the client’s “character” [stability, entrepreneurship, reputation, and repayment behavior – (SERR)] • Most of the information for repeat loans refers to repayment behavior regarding past loans as well as the trend in savings

  9. Lending Procedures: LOAN ANALYSIS-First Loan • Character/Risk assessment: analysis of client’s Stability, Entrepreneurship, Reputation, and Repayment behavior (SERR in CIBI for first loan) • Cash flow: repayment capacity based on all household income from business activities and others (including salaries, pensions and remittances).

  10. Lending Procedures: LOAN ANALYSIS-Repeat Loan Analysis of Repeat Loans are based on: • Repayment behavior of previous loans • Results of monitoring visits to determine changes/ potential problems in the client’s situation • Cash flow to determine repayment capacity and possible increases in loan amounts

  11. Lending Procedures: LOAN ANALYSIS-Repeat Loan • A cash flow analysis may be done every other loan ONLY IF repeat loan amount is • the same or within 10% increase • not more than P25,000 • loan term is 6 months or less, and • client has not made payments with delay of not more than 3 days. • If a borrower does not meet these qualifications, a cash flow analysis has to be done for every loan.

  12. Lending Procedures:Loan Collection Strict adherence to the Zero Tolerance approach: Banks must have well-defined collection policies that clearly guide AOs on appropriate actions to take. THE ALARM SIGNALS. • Alarm Signal No. 1: (delayed by 1 day) - AO contacts the client within 24 hours; Reports non-payment to Supervisor; Prepares memo to file; reports during weekly committee meeting.

  13. Lending Procedures:Loan Collection • Alarm Signal No. 2 (Delayed payment by 3 days) --AO and Supervisor delivers 1st collection letter signed by BM (cc: co-maker or co-borrower); Supervisor stresses importance of payments: • ** eligibility for re-availments • ** avoidance of penalty fees/charges • Alarm Signal Nol 3 (Delayed payment by 1 week)– BM accompanies the AO to the client and handles 2nd demand letter

  14. Lending Procedures:Loan Collection • BM stresses: (a) client will loose privilege to borrow again, and (b) bank will enforce VOS or CHM • Alarm Signal No. 4 (delayed payment by 2 weeks) – AO delivers 3rd and final letter; BM visits borrower and stress that his/her name will be included in the negative data bank/blacklist

  15. Loan Collection • Alarm Signal No. 5 (payment is delayed by 3 weeks) – Either the AO, Supervisor or the BM warns the borrower of legal action if unpaid within 1 week • Alarm Signal No. 6 (payment is delayed by 4 weeks) – AO & Supervisor recommends to BM the debiting of O/B of loan from client’s contractual savings • AO informs borrower of the debiting process • For unpaid balance, legal counsel takes over collection (extra-judicial or judicial)
