How Banks Evaluate Loan Applicants
Before approving a loan application, banks assess prospective borrowers using the internationally recognized 5C Principle, which consists of:
Character
Evaluating the applicant’s honesty, reputation, and credit history.
Capacity
Assessing the borrower’s ability to repay the loan based on income or business cash flow.
Capital
Reviewing the amount of capital owned by the borrower.
Collateral
Evaluating the assets pledged as security for the loan.
Conditions of the Economy
Considering current economic conditions and the business sector that may affect the borrower’s repayment ability.
This assessment helps banks maintain the quality of their loan portfolios while minimizing the risk of non-performing loans.
