Risk assessment is dependent on standardized and accurate financial and non-financial information analysis. This tool provides Associations a single solution to collect, analyze and report on customer information with uniform procedures. This helps reduce risks of errors with standard and thoroughly tested custom models and templates. Optimist enables Associations to have a complete view of clients’ financial profiles across a wide range of assets, including company financials, real estate holdings, personal financials and other pertinent data. The robust database prevents data loss and redundancy, and it reduces efforts required for management, audit and regulatory reporting.
In addition to financial analysis, key performance indicators and diagnostic tools, Optimist provides communications tools and reports that help promote better dialogue with borrowers. This enables lenders to conduct an informed discussion regarding their client’s credit profile and helps build, manage and sustain profitable lending relationships.
Optimist’s analysis platform provides lenders the flexibility to create, manage and edit loan approval documents, and offers options to create and print custom reports. Standard and custom models provide support to commercial and consumer lending with the capability to capture and analyze a borrower’s lending request in detail or summary form. Optimist has a full credit analysis feature set, and functionality includes but is not limited to:
Optimist provides greater consistency in forms and templates and maintains all relevant financial and non-financial obligor information within one central database. This provides lenders access to information by customer or on a deal-by-deal basis. Furthermore, Optimist’s database provides the information and reporting tools Associations need to manage their portfolios and monitor credit risk.
AgFirst has integrated Optimist with our current loan origination system, Credit Delivery. As we enhance our loan origination solutions, Optimist will be more highly integrated within our suite of tools and processes, creating greater automation and efficiency.
