Traditional and alternative lenders we work with usually ask about our predefined set of reports and add their own ones.

Using Dashboard Reports to Keep Lending Business on Track
Internal statistics and reports tend to visualize data the way that is relevant for management. In financial services the requirements are wider, thus a modified version of the dashboard report in lending is required.
What is relevant depends on the type of lending and type of customers, business operations, sources of collateral.
Which KPIs Lenders Want to Have at Hand?
However, here are four pairs of indicators most lenders would like to include in dashboards:
- The visualization of their revenues and gross margin
- The current ratio of assets and liabilities
- Interest coverage ratio and interest expense.
- Total asset turnover and total loan production
In addition, lenders tend to measure:
- Closing cycle time
- Loan yield spread
- Loan origination unit cost
- Application pull-through rate, and more.
The analysis of these parameters and their dynamics is important in benchmarking and also helps lenders to timely identify trends that need involvement and corrective actions.
Traditional and alternative lenders may have different KPIs, so do lenders working in different industries: auto loans, mortgage lending, commercial, and consumer lending.
