Abstract

This work documents the development and implementation of a commercial bank's loan classification database system. It employed multiple discriminant analysis models to assess the relationship between relevant loan variables and existing bad loan problem. It also made use of mathematical model to replicate the Examiner's classification process to classify loans in a more objective and sober way. Classification of loan is grouping of loans in accordance to their likelihood of ultimate recovery from borrowers. Banking business is one of the most highly levered businesses especially on loan accounts. It is likely to collapse in case of a slight deterioration in quality of loans. Six important factors (propriety of use of funds borrowed; operation of Borrower's overdraft account; cooperation with the Bank, collateral and number of days the loan is past due) were identified and grouped as variables in determining the quality of loan portfolio. The developed classification model shows that there exists a linear relation between loan classification and the six variables considered. Four classification functions were developed and implemented in Microsoft Access database to assist in effective classification. The implementation of a database system makes it easy to store relevant classification information and revert to them whenever needed for comparative analysis on quarterly, half-yearly and annual basis.
