Creating A New Secured Loan

The process of creating an secured loan contract is similar to that of creating an unsecured loan contract. The difference is that you must choose a banking product that is secured when creating the contract.

After performing the steps described in the Creating A New Unsecured Loan page, perform the actions required to link collaterals to the contract.

You can set collaterals as guarantees for secured loan contracts in the Collaterals tab. This tab is displayed only for contracts based on secured products.

The fields Cover Value and Product Collateral Cover Percent are automatically populated from product level.

You can use collaterals not owned by the customer, but by a guarantor to cover the contract risk. To add guarantors to the contract, follow these steps:

1. Click the Insert button within the Contract Guarantor section.
2. In the newly displayed Add Contract Guarantors page, fill in the Guarantor field by selecting the customer who acts as a guarantor for the contract.
   

3. Click the Save and Close button.

To link a collateral to the contract, follow these steps:

1. Click the Insert button from the Contract Collateral section.
2. In the newly displayed Add Contract Collateral page, fill in or modify the following fields:

   

   • Customer / Guarantor - Select the customer who acts as guarantor for the contract. The field is automatically completed with the customer selected in the contract, but you can select any of the customers already added as guarantors for this contract.

   • Collateral Register - Select a collateral registered to the current customer. When selecting a collateral, the Cover Register Value, Cover Register Value Usage and Cover Value in Contract Currency fields are automatically calculated.

     NOTE  
     Make sure that the collateral you are planning to use for the secured loan contract is previously registered, otherwise you can't use it for covering the contract.
     You can link a registered collateral to multiple contracts if the contracts total amount does not exceed the collateral available amount.

     When selecting a Fixed deposit collateral, the status of the associated bank account becomes Blocked.
     If the contract's status changes from Owned or Active into Released, the status of the bank account becomes Opened.

   • Collateral Register Value Usage (%) - Edit the percentage to be used from the registered collateral's total value. It was set at banking product level, in the Collateral Cover Percent field. As a result, the Collateral Register Value and the Cover Value in Contract Currency values are automatically recalculated by Core Banking.

   • Cover Register Value - The value is taken from collateral, expressed in the collateral's currency. If the collateral is in a different currency than the contract currency, the exchange rate is automatically applied in order to have the available amount correctly calculated. Further, a job runs daily in order to recalculate the available amount for each collateral.

   • Cover Value in Contract Currency - This is the cover value converted in the contract's currency at the exchange rate defined in Core Banking.

   • Mortgage File - Attach a file relevant for the mortgage.

3. Click the Save and close button.
4. Change the status of the collateral to Secured before approving the contract, otherwise Core Banking triggers an error.
