EXCEL FUNCTIONS
• Future Value(FV)
Banks need to data mine their existing loan portfolio to prevent loan
prepayments and protect existing loans from being poached by competitors.
This conditional function helps us determine if borrowers are top relationship
for our bank, and then we determine if they meet criteria that makes the
borrower more likely to refinance with a competitor. We use this function to
establish if the fixed rate loan has less than 2-years to a pricing reset, if the
borrower is paying above market rate, and if the loan has no prepayment
protection. If loans meet any of these criteria we contact the borrower to
present new loan commitment options. We want to be the first to present the
borrower a proposal because being preemptive allows us the opportunity to
refinance our own loan before a competitor does.
• Payment Function: =PMT(rate, nper, pv, [fv], [type])
Borrowers care more about their monthly payment rather than the
interest rate on the loan. This function calculates how much a
borrower will pay in principal and interest every payment period.
Because the yield curve is so flat, this function shows that the monthly
payment on a Rs1million loan is only Rs192 more per month at a 20-
year fixed rate versus a 5-year fixed rate. This function is a powerful
way for a banker to show borrowers various potential loan scenarios
and the effect and cost of eliminating the borrower’s refinancing risk.
Furthermore, it also highlights how the 5-year fixed rate loan repricing
creates a credit risk for the bank.
• Net Present Value Function: = NPV(rate,value1,[value2],...)
