Real-time analysis with BetterTech Lending Analytics 


While most technologies on the market are able to fulfill regulatory risk management requirements, they often fall short of meeting the team’s actual needs. What works when Lending Analytics calculations are run weekly or monthly is simply not enough on a day-to-day basis. Maintaining regulations is no longer enough 


There are three functions that an efficient Lending Analytics solution must be able to fulfill: report, explain and optimize. 


Reporting is what every solution made for Lending Analytics can do: calculating risk figures and generating reports at the right level of aggregation that are ready to be sent to internal and external auditors. With the data volumes involved with Lending Analytics, however, reporting alone is simply not enough. Explaining is the most critical need for business users. Regulators ask for detailed explanations of what is included in the report, request that banks test alternative stress scenarios, and demonstrate the accuracy of their models — particularly with the Internal Models Approach. With a solution that only reports, business teams end up scrambling to answer those requests as best as they can, falling back on other tools such as Excel or PowerBI, which are simply not designed to analyze data at this scale. Optimizing is where growth and profitability reside. 
Lending Analytics framework creates many decision points that are crucial to improving performance: 
• How best to organize or reorganize loan portfolios? 
• What would be the impact of changing positions or making certain loans? 
• How can we improve our models? 


BetterTech Lending Analytics handles this level of analysis deftly and can quickly answer these questions. By relying on inadequate tools to perform analysis, organizations often see reduced productivity and accuracy. Inaccurate reporting negatively impacts relationships with regulators, potentially leading to fines, leading to fines. Furthermore, companies that do not have the analytical capabilities to optimize their risk management and, by extension their capital charge, risk falling behind other, better equipped organizations. How can you get ahead if you cannot efficiently simulate different scenarios to choose the best outcome, while your competitors do it dozens of times a day?
