What is
a
Loan Production Trend Report
? Loan Production Trend Reports are considered operational analysis tools and are used by executives and loan managers to monitor monthly trends and anomalies in branch-level and consolidated loan metrics. Some of the main functionality in this type of report is that it displays all the months of the year across the columns and loan metrics with totals down the rows. Key figures for each loan category are: Interest Rate, FTP Expense, Net Interest Margin, Loan Fees and Origination Fees. Examples of loan types in this report are: Commercial/Construction Loans, Mortgages, Consumer Loans, and Total for All Loans (not visible in the screenshot below). You find an example of this type of report below.
Purpose of
Loan Production Trend Reports Credit Unions use Loan Production Trend Reports to give managers a clear picture of monthly trends and anomalies in the loan portfolio of each branch. When used as part of good business practices in Loan- and Finance departments, a company can improve its product offerings and profitability, and it can reduce the chances that decision-makes lack key monthly trend insights when they create or modify loan products and terms.
