How to account for cost of
loan for product pricing :
It can be done under the following three ways
Price to competition - what is the cost of loan
charged by the competitors in the market
Cost plus pricing - this accounts by
calculating all the direct and indirect expenses than add a margin
and then put forward the loan cost
Perceived value of customer - here bank
determines , what is the maximum a borrower will pay for perceived
value of banker's expertise and bank's problem solving
Economic considerations
:
- Credit score - it tells about the financial
health of the person whether the person has given or repaid loans
on time or not or he is a defaulter
- Down payment - this means larger the down
payment lower will be interest rate and more the chances of getting
the loan
- Loan term - the shorter is the time of loan
the banks favours to give loan for it,longer the period it becomes
difficult to approve
- Interest rate type - it can be fixed or
adjustable which initially can be fixed and overtime it can be
flexible making , to charge higher rate in latter period of
loan.
- Loan type - what is the purpose of loan , as
loans that would be yeilding returns as in business tend to get
approved easily than non productive loans
- Age - a mid aged person is most preferred as
he can pay back the loan by working however an old person cannot
get as his income sources are not sure
- Occupation - people with secured jobs as in
military or blue chip company employees or government employees
tend to have higher probability of getting loan than a self
employed people
- Relation with bank - the older customer you
are of bank ,loan approvement chances are more as it is easier for
them to analyse you back financial records
- Surplus income - with the ones who have
surplus income getting a loan is easier for them as they can easily
give EMI's.
