Advantages of BankStride Software Over Legacy Core Banking Systems

Loan exceptions monitoring is an essential function in the banking industry, ensuring that banks can effectively manage the risks associated with their lending activities. However, many banks still rely on outdated and inefficient systems for loan exceptions monitoring, such as manually collecting borrower information and documents via email and managing exception spreadsheets. This approach is prone to errors and can result in delays in identifying potential issues with borrowers. Fortunately, BankStride offers a solution to these inefficiencies, providing numerous advantages over traditional loan exceptions monitoring methods.

Disadvantages of Traditional Loan Exceptions Monitoring

One of the primary disadvantages of traditional loan exceptions monitoring methods is the reliance on manual processes. These manual processes, such as collecting borrower information and documents via email and managing exception spreadsheets, are prone to errors and can lead to delays in identifying potential issues with borrowers. Additionally, these manual processes can be time-consuming and result in a lack of standardization in loan exceptions monitoring processes, leading to inconsistencies and inaccuracies in borrower data.

Another disadvantage of traditional loan exceptions monitoring methods is the lack of real-time data analysis. Many legacy systems rely on batch processing, which means that data is processed in batches at set intervals, rather than in real-time. This approach can lead to delays in identifying potential issues with borrowers, making it difficult for banks to take timely corrective action.

 

Finally, traditional loan exceptions monitoring methods may lack the necessary scalability and flexibility to adapt to changing business needs. Banks may struggle to add new loan products or change their loan exceptions monitoring processes without significant investment in their IT infrastructure.

Advantages of BankStride Platform

 

BankStride's platform provides numerous advantages over traditional loan exceptions monitoring methods. By automating the collection and processing of borrower information and documents, BankStride eliminates the need for manual processes such as collecting documents via email and managing spreadsheets.

Additionally, BankStride's platform provides real-time data analysis, enabling banks to quickly identify potential risks and take action as needed. The platform also provides seamless integration with other banking systems, enabling banks to get a comprehensive view of their loan exceptions portfolio and identify potential risks quickly.

Finally, BankStride's platform is scalable and flexible, allowing banks to add new loan products or change their loan exceptions monitoring processes without significant investment in their IT infrastructure.

 

Summary

Traditional loan exceptions monitoring methods, such as manually collecting borrower information and documents via email and managing exception spreadsheets, can be inefficient and error-prone. Fortunately, BankStride's platform provides a modern and automated loan exceptions monitoring system that eliminates the need for manual processes, provides real-time data analysis, seamless integration with other banking systems, and scalability and flexibility to adapt to changing business needs. By partnering with BankStride, banks can improve their loan exceptions monitoring processes, reduce risks, and increase efficiency.

Covenant Tracking & Monitoring are important part of managing borrowers financial and reporting documents for loan monitoring. Almost 70% of banks still rely on some combination of spreadsheets, core ticklers, or other manual processes.

BankStride is a digital banking platform you've been waiting for. BankStride makes it easy for banks to automate loan documents, exceptions tracking, loan reporting and covenant monitoring. No more managing checklists, searching for files in emails, or waiting on updates from other parties. Just create your requests and let BankStride do the work for you. 

Many Banks and lending companies depend on non-public client information to provide their
services. Examples include:

  • Automate Document Gathering

  • Checklist For Loan Reporting Requirements

  • Frictionless Customer Experience To Send Documents

  • Create Credit Exceptions & Tickler Tracking

  • Automated Loan Monitoring and Loan Compliance

  • Loan Reporting, Risk & Financial Reporting


Without a dedicated tool, professionals would have to manually manage checklists and calendar
events to keep track of all required information. BankStride automates this work while improving
security and reporting.

Why BankStride platform

  • BankStride is a web-based software solution for commercial banks and credit unions that works with customers to manage loan agreements and eliminate credit exceptions. FileStride improves credit exception management by reaching beyond the walls of the bank to work directly with customers.

  • BankStride is like autopay for customer information.

  • With BankStride, banking teams can schedule recurring requests for documents like financial statements and tax returns, compare actual and threshold covenant values (e.g. minimum DSCR), and send compliance certificates for signature via DocuSign.

  • Customers respond to information requests much like paying an online invoice – they clearly see what’s required of them and they act. Customers can respond using a login-less portal or by email – no account or password required.

How does this help banks

  • A borrower’s risk profile can change significantly over the years that follow a lending event. Managing loan agreement adherence through reporting and internal monitoring is an ongoing and tedious battle for banks. 

  • Banks that pursue superb loan agreement management are faced with handling complex recurring tasks using the basic tools of email, spreadsheets, and calendar ticklers. Banks that let this work fall behind risk delaying their awareness of problematic loans or operating practices, jeopardizing capital and reputation.

  • With BankStride, banks gain high-resolution loan agreement monitoring that saves time and delights customers.

How does our bank customer use BankStride

  • Our bank customer uses BankStride to schedule and automate the activities required to monitor loan agreements. 

  • For example, BankStride has proven effective in managing revolving lines of credit. BankStride  automatically requests and reminds customers to submit monthly AR and AP listings, inventory analyses, and borrowing base certificates each month. 

  • BankStride reminds the banking team to test various financial ratios. The results of the customer’s actions and the ratio testing all roll up to per-banker and per-office reports that can be run on-demand in seconds.
