About Credit

4.1 Credit

The word credit comes from the Latin word “Credo” meaning “I believe”. It is a lender’s
trust in a person’s or firms or company’s ability or potential ability and intention to repay.
Credit is a contractual Agreement, in which a borrower receives something of value now,
with the agreement to repay the lender at some date in the future.

17
The objective of the credit management is to maximize the performing asset and the
minimization of the non-performing asset as well as ensuring the optimal point of loans
and advances and their efficient management.

4.2 Factors Related with Credit

 Risk

 Time

 Interest Rate

 Security or Collateral

 Operating Expense

 Legal Considerations

 Inflation

 Finance Charge

4.3 Importance of Credit

Credit plays a vital role in national economy in the following ways-

I. It provides working capital for industrialization

II. It helps to create employment opportunities

III. Credit controls almost all kinds of production activities of the country

IV. It brings social equity

V. Cash generation occurs for its successful performance

VI. Business cycle can run well only by the help of lending system

VII. Economic stabilization

VIII. Raise standard of living.

18
4.4 Credit Management
Credit management is a dynamic field where a certain standard of long-range planning is
needed to allocate the fund in diverse field and to minimize the risk and maximizing the
return on the invested fund. Continuous supervision, monitoring and follow-up are highly
required for ensuring the timely repayment and minimizing the default.
4.7 Principles of Sound Lending
It should be clearly understood that the criteria/principles are not inflexible laws & are
given as guidelines for protecting credit. In a practical competitive world, risks are
defined, accepted and credit is often granted even though a proposal does not strictly with
some of the criteria described below:
The basic lending criteria can be considered as eight main headings, as follows:
 Principle of Safety
 Principle of Liquidity
 Principle of Purpose
 Character and ability of the borrower
 Principle of Security
 Principle of profitability
 Source of repayment
 Principle of National Interest
Each of the headings will now be discussed further in the following paragraph:

Principle of Safety
The first lending Principle of sound lending is safety. Safety should not be sacrificed for
profitability. So utmost care should be exercised to ensure that the funds go to the right
type of borrower, are utilized in such a way that they remain safe and the repayment
comes in the normal course.

Principle of Liquidity

19
Liquidity means the availability of funds on short notice. The liquidity of an advance
means it repayment on demand on due date or after a short notice. Therefore, the banks
must have to maintain sufficient liquidity to repay its depositors and trade off between
the liquidity and profitability is must.

Principle of Purpose
The bank should not lend money for any purposes for which a borrower may be free from
all risks but if the funds borrower are employed for unproductive. Purpose like marriage
ceremony, pleasure trip etc or speculative activities, the repayment in the normal course
will become uncertain. Banks therefore discourage advances from boarding stocks and
refuse advances for speculative activities.

Character and ability of the borrower:

The primary responsibility is “know your customer and his business”. While
considering the character and ability of a borrower, the following point must be kept in
mind.
 Do know your customer already?
 Was he respectively introduced?
 If he was previously customer of any finance company, why has he come
to. Try to see previous statement?
 Have any past criminal report?
 What are the business its ownership?
 What is the customer’s background and financial track record?
 Customer’s honesty & integrity and personal stability?
 How has the customer managed his financial circumstances in the past?
The branch manger should have the answer of the above queries and should be to judge
his ability to use the credit facilities to his advantage. Advance should be granted only to
those borrowers in whom the branch manager has full confidence. Integrity of the
borrower and his ability to conduct business are of paramount importance and take
precedence over the value of securities offered.

20
Principle of Security
The security offered by a borrower for an advance is insurance to the banker. It serves as
the safety value for an unforeseen emergency. So another principle of sound lending is
the security of lending. The security accepted by a banker to cover a bank advance must
be adequate, readily marketable, easy to handle and free from any encumbrance.
Principle of Profitability
Financing is essentially a business, which aims at earning of a good profit. Finance
company has also to meet their establishment charges and other expenses. Interest earned
by a finance company on its advance is the main source of its income.
Source of Repayment
After the branch manager has ensured that the credit will be a profitable propositioning
for the company, he should then turn his attention to the cash flow situation of the
borrower. The credit can be classified into three main categories, as follows:
 A very short-term advance will be liquidated by funds received in the very near
future, such as advances against foreign or local bills or bridge functioning where
evidence of credit sanction from another financial institution is available.
 Provision for current assets; this type facility is needed for trading and /or
manufacturing activities.
 Long term loans, generally over 5 years; example of such facilities as investment
in plant and machinery, a farm or a shop, generally, a long term is repaid out
profits generated by the business.

Principle of National Interest

The development of finance company has reached a stage where a it is required to
identify his business with national policies. Financing Industry has significant role to play
in the economic development of a country.

21
Interest Rate Structure
BFIC offers various Deposit Schemes with attractive rate of return. You are entitled to
select any of these schemes as per your requirement. The general interest rate structure
for any amount is given below:

4.14 The C’s of Good and Bad Loan in Credit Management

The Branch manager of Bangladesh finance and Investment try to judge the possible
client based on some criteria. These criteria are called the C’s of good and bad loans.
These C’s are described below:
Character
The outcome of analyzing the character is to have overall idea about the integrity,
experience, and business sense of the borrower. Two variables; Interaction/interview, and
Market Research are used to analyze the character of the borrower.
1. Interaction/interview: the indicators are:
a) Prompt and consistent information supply, information given has not been found false
(Willingness to give information).
b) CIB also reveals business character.
c) Willingness to give owns stake/equity & collateral to cover.
d) Tax payer.
2. Market Research:
a) Information on business is verified.
b) Dealing with supplier and or customer as supplier is also a kind of lender; the payment
character can also be verified.
Capital
For identifying the capital invested in the business can be disclosed using the following
indicators:
a) Financial Statements
b) Receivable, Payable, statements to practically assess the business positions. Net worth
through financial statements or from declaration of Assets & Liability statement.

22
Capacity (Competence)
Capability of the borrower in running the business is highly emphasized in the time of
selecting a good borrower. As the management of the business is the sole authority to run
the business that is use the fund efficiently, effectively and profitably. The indicators
help to identify the capacity of the borrower.
a) Entrepreneurship skills i.e. risk taking attitude shown by equity mobilization.
b) Management competencies both marketing and products detail, ability to take
decision.
c) Resilience or shock absorption: Connection, Back up (if first time falls second
lines come to help.
Collateral
Make sure that there is a “second way out” of a credit, but do not allow that to drive the
credit decision.
Cash Flow
Cash flow is the vital factor that is used to identify whether the borrower will have
enough cash to repay the loan or advance. Cash keeps the liquidity to ensure repayment.
The relationship manager tries to identify the annual cash flow from the submitted
statements.

Credit risk

Credit risk encompasses potential losses arising from the failure of counterparty to
perform according to contractual arrangement with the company. This is very difficult to
prescribe full proof mechanism for efficient management of credit risk. Considering the
rapid globalization, liberalization and competition, it is essential that institution has tough
risk management policies and processes.
 Celling for sector company, company and group exposure

23
  Clean credit report(CIB) for every client

 Past payment performance of the borrower before approval

 Strong credit administration for defaulted clients

 Interim as well as annual review of the client business/operation

 Obtaining independent legal opinion from external legal advisor on

documentation relating to security.

In addition the credit committee regularly meets to review the performed of each client
and takes decisions regarding any default.

Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the possibility that an institution will be unable to meet its
obligations as they fall due because of inability to liquidate assets or obtain adequate
funding or that it cannot easily unwind or offset specific exposures without
significantly lowering market prices because of inadequate market depth or market
disruptions. This arises from undesirable variance between maturities of assets and
liabilities.

Market risk
Market risk can be defined as the probable changes in the earning due to fluctuation in a
variety of market factors such as rate of interest, forign exchange in equity prices.
The treasury department reviews the trend analysis of market interest rate movement and
carry out assets liability gap analysis, forwards this to the asset liability management
committee regularly for their reviews and to assess the changes, as a result re-pricing the
interest rates of product to minimized and control the interest rate risk.

Operational risk

24
Operational risk is the risk of losses which arises due to lack of systems, procedures and
internal control, fraud, unauthorized activities, error, omission, inefficiency, ignorance of
compliance requirements, non-compliance of corporate governance practices, or failure
of internal process and external events. The main cause that leads to operational risk is as
under:

 Incompetence, insufficient training, lack of integrity and turnover of efficient

employees

 Business volume variation, organizational complexity, major changes in product s

 Improper segregation of duties,lack of regular monitoring, ineffective procedures,

shortcoming of company structure.

 Poor technology, lack of automation, simultaneous manual and automation

process, it complexity.

 Natural calamities, deteriorated social and political context, changes in statutory

requirements/policies.

transactions. The aggregation of such grading across the borrowers, activities and the
lines of business can provide better assessment of the quality of credit portfolio of a
company . The credit risk grading system is vital to take decisions both at the pre-
sanction stage as well as post-sanction stage. At the pre-sanction stage, credit grading
helps the sanctioning authority to decide whether to lend or not to lend, what should be
the loan price, what should be the extent of exposure, what should be the appropriate
credit facility, what are the various facilities, what are the various risk mitigation tools to
put a cap on the risk level. At the post-sanction stage, the company can decide about the
depth of the review or renewal, frequency of review, periodicity of the grading, and other
precautions to be taken. Usually there includes six steps for CRG.

reliability, thoroughness and willingness to always be open to new ideas and new ways of
meeting customer needs.
