Know your numbers?
It’s all about the numbers… the BEN Score Assessment Report aims at identifying and interpreting your financial numbers in context of credit risk. All financial models are based on minimising the risk of making bad investments and maximise margins where feasible.
When banks lend out money to individuals they are investing in those borrowers with the expectation that they will pay on time every time. This business model applies to every sector in the market and not only limited to the banking system.
Banks have developed systems to assess and minimise their risk exposure to defaulting consumers. Banks look at many variables of a person’s financial profile to develop a qualifying criterion.
These variables are analysed and placed in perspective and measured to see whether they fit within an established underwriting risk assessment matrix. This is known as banking underwriting policy.
There is so much to consider when assessing a loan application. For example; lenders look at your employment history, qualifications, taxable income, Borrowing Capacity, Savings Capacity, Payment History, Value of your home and or investment property(s), Value of your other assets, How much tax you pay, Capital gains tax, Yield to achieve on your investment property, also look at your Credit Card limit(s), personal loans and car leases which also impact on your borrowing capacity.
These are just some of the factors that lenders must address before they can consider approving a loan application.
The BEN Score Credit Assessment comes very close to providing you with the numbers that you need to know in order to make an informed decision before you consider applying for a mortgage loan.
Obtaining a finance approval has a clear defined process where the outcome is a shared responsibility between the Customer, the Credit Adviser and the Lender
