Add a credit score component to your bounce protection program to reduce losses and meet new regulatory standards

Many institutions implemented bounce protection programs that simply provided checking account holders with a flat amount such as $500.  These programs were effective at generating revenues at the expense of higher than necessary losses.  Initially revenues overshadowed losses but as programs matured and regulators issued new rules to manage these programs it has become clear rational and effective selection criteria needs to be put in place.  A properly designed credit score component can effectively meet these needs.  KW Financial Solutions  will provide the credit score component necessary to manage bounce protection programs to reduce losses and meet regulatory needs.   We will provide:
  • Initial phone consultation with Ken Williams
  • A proposal for the addition of a credit score component

Migrate to a new score set or to risk based lending/tiered pricing:

The switch to a new score set or the transition from a conventional lending program to a risk based lending/tiered pricing process is complex and closely monitored by the examiners.  The proper design of all the various elements is critical to its overall success. KW Financial Solutions  takes the mystery out of custom designing and implementing the risk based lending/tiered pricing process.   If you are changing your process to risk based lending you need our expertise.  We will provide:
  • An initial phone consultation with lending expert Ken Williams
  • A proposal showing what we can provide to make the transition seamless
  • Detailed costs and benefits 
  • Ways to customize so you only use us for the elements you need
  • Program rubrics to monitor and manage the process

Revalidation of existing risk based lending programs:

Regulators expect you to revalidate your risk based lending/tiered pricing process every few years.  This makes sense since conditions change, score ranges within tiers become stale and you no longer are maximizing your returns through the proper risk/reward trade off. KW Financial Solutions  will revalidate and revitalize your existing process.  We customize to your needs so if all you need is a revalidation of cut off score ranges we can do that for you.  We will provide:
  • A phone consultation with lending expert Ken Williams
  • A recommendation of the areas you need to revalidate
  • Onsite meeting for the initial review of the existing process
  • Increases in approval percentages you can expect
  • Program rubrics to monitor an manage the process
  • On site meeting to implement the recommendations

Enhancement of the criteria in application processing systems to make them more efficient

Application processing software reduces redundant tasks and makes the loan process more efficient.  Unfortunately many user options within these systems are not set to their peak efficiency to manage losses and reduce process time.  KW Financial Solutions  will provide the changes to the user inputs that will increase the percentage of applications that will be approved without officer review resulting in faster processing and reduced expenses.   We will provide:
  • Initial phone consultation with Ken Williams
  • A proposal for the efficiency enhancements in your app processing system and costs
  • Onsite meeting for the initial review of the existing process
  • Increases in automated decisioning you can expect

Upgrade an outdated score set to a more modern and effective score set 

You would not use a 9 year old computer but if you use Beacon,™  Empirica,™ or FICO™ you are using data that is up to 9 years old.  Scoring like any technology becomes outdated fast. Even if you do not change credit reporting companies, upgrading to the latest version score set changes the risk level of a score. The risk of loss at 660 for example will be different for the old score set vs. the new score set even if it is within the same credit reporting agency. KW Financial Solutions  will provide you with a conversion chart that will show you  the new score that corresponds to the old score.
