Breaking Down the Business Lending Process: Learn How to Overcome Common Challenges for Financial Institutions

Overview:

Despite the digital push spurred by the pandemic, many lending and credit risk professionals reported challenges in their business lending process that hurt their institution’s ability to grow, manage credit risk, and satisfy customers or members.

In a recent Abrigo survey, nearly 250 financial professionals answered questions related to their lending process. The goal of the survey was to help financial institutions benchmark their relative strengths and weaknesses against their peers for a variety of topics such as risk rating, pricing, underwriting, ticklers, and more.

Join this webinar to hear credit administration professionals Rob Newberry (Abrigo) and John Hatfield (Millennium Bank) react to the results and offer up strategies to overcome these inefficiencies and inconsistencies to scale loan growth and manage risk.

You will learn:

Pain points in the lending process and how others have solved them
Trends in the industry that our subject matter experts are seeing
