Breaking Out of the Lending Boxes that Bind You
Speaker Handout
Thursday | 2pm - 3:15pm
Brett Christensen, Owner, CU Lending Advice, LLC
Azalea Salon C
Are you making fewer loans than you should be today because you are trapped in your old-school lending “boxes?” Does your “A paper” view of the world prevent you from being a better lender? The lending environment has changed significantly in the last few years. Is your credit union changing to keep up? The following “boxes” will be discussed so that you can leave this session prepared to make more loans and better loans to your members:
- Debt Ratio
- Loan-to-Value
- Lender Compensation
- Good Credit, Approved
- Bad Credit, Denied
- A-Paper Thinking
- Sales vs. Service
