What is a
Loan Dashboard for Banks
? Loan Dashboards are considered operational monitoring tools and are used by executives and loan managers to analyze key trends and metrics for their loan portfolios. Some of the main functionality in this type of dashboards is that it provides performance analysis across six different perspectives: 1) Declined and approved loans by product, 2) Approved loan value by bank branch, 3) Approved loan value by product, 4) Default amount by branch, 5) Monthly trend in default quantities and values, and 6) KPIs for total approved and default loan values, and percent approval/default value. You find an example of this type of dashboards below.
Purpose of
Loan Dashboards Banks use Loan Dashboards to quickly detect anomalies or trends in their loan business. When used as part of good business practices in Loan- and Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A) departments, a company can improve its loan strategies and related revenues, and it can reduce the chances that managers miss trends or correlations related to approvals and defaults.
