While processing an application, users are able to input loan collateral information.

Collateral in the Workspace

Collateral is collected within user-defined application screens and panels that may appear in the following locations:       

Depending on the configuration of collateral screens, actual screen content and names may vary. The images and processes listed below may not reflect an institution’s loan terms screen. Refer to the following processes for example purposes only.

Application Workflow

Depending on the configuration of the workflow model, the Workflow may contain the option to add, edit, and delete application collateral. When proceeding through an application’s workflow, collateral information may be collected in user-defined application screens that exclusively contain collateral panels. Application screens may also be configured with a combination of applicant, loan, and collateral panels. Both of these application screen types may be configured to a workflow’s Origination category.

For more information on adding collateral, refer to the Adding Collateral section.

Collateral Screen

Depending on the configuration of the workflow model, the Application Navigator may contain a screen that allows users to identify collateral. Upon selecting the collateral screen, users are able add, edit, and delete the collateral to be added to the loan application.

For more information on adding collateral, refer to the Adding Collateral section.

People and Collaterals Section

When collateral is added to an application, the collateral records appear in the Application Navigator for easy access. Each collateral record is added to the Collaterals list located beneath the Workflow. If multiple collaterals are assigned to the application, a number corresponding to the amount of collaterals displays next to the Collaterals heading.

For the Collaterals section to be available, a collateral screen must be mapped to the Workflow Model.

 

In addition to indexing each collateral record, users are able to add, edit, and delete collateral to an application from the Collaterals screen.

There are two methods to add collateral:

For more information on adding collateral, refer to the Adding Collateral section.

Collateral Actions

Collateral actions include the following:

Adding Collateral

When processing an application, collateral information may be collected through panels that are configured to user-defined application screens. There are two types of panels that may be configured to an application screen:

The application screen(s) that contain these panels may be assigned to both the Workflow and screens sections.

Additionally, collateral may be added from the Collaterals section in the Application Navigator.

  • When entering collateral, some fields may not apply across all collateral types. For example, Property Address fields would not be required for any collateral types other than Real Estate.
  • If not manually updated the Adjustment Percentage, Equity Lending Cap Percentage, and Trustee Percentage fields defaults to 100, which denotes that 100% of the value is to be included in the in the application.

Collaterals Panel (Collateral Grid)

The collaterals panel is a user-defined grid that displays various pieces of collateral information across multiple collaterals.

The collaterals panel contains a toolbar that allows users to perform the following functions:

Icon Description
Allows a user to add collateral to the application. When collateral is added, a row is added to the collateral grid.
Allows a user to edit collateral currently on the application.
Allows a user to remove collateral from the application. When collateral is deleted, a row is removed from the collateral grid.

If vehicle collateral is being added via a Collaterals panel, a save must be performed prior to clicking Valuate. Failure to click Save may result in a second collateral record being added to the application. One collateral record is complete, including the valuation result and vehicle details, and the other is incomplete, only including the valuation results. If this situation should occur, delete the incomplete record.

Upon successfully adding collateral to the collateral grid, the collateral also populates in the Collaterals grouping located in the Application Navigator.

Descriptive Collateral Panel

A descriptive collateral panel is a user-defined panel that is able to collect information for a single piece of collateral. Descriptive collateral panels may be used for all collateral types and added to any user-defined application screen.

Upon navigating to the Vehicle Collateral panel, users are required to select a check box to indicate vehicle collateral is being added. Once the check box is selected, a window titled Add Vehicle Collateral appears which prompts users to select either New Valuation or Enter Manually.


When processing vehicle valuations:

  • Click New Valuation to process a new valuation with KBB/NADA. Upon clicking New Valuation, the Valuation screen opens in the workspace.
  • Click Enter Manually to navigate to the Vehicle Collateral panel. From the Vehicle Collateral panel, users are able to run a valuation or enter valuation information that was pulled externally.
If the vehicle valuation information is manually entered, the Valuation History button is disabled. If a valuation is later performed with the NADA/KBB connector, the manually entered information is not stored in Valuation History as this functionality only retains valuations processed via a connector.

ShowEscrow Calculations

When each collateral housing expense is saved, the following fields ared calculated:

Field Calculation
Cushion Amount

Monthly Payment Amount * Cushion

The Cushion field allows institutions to enter how many escrow payment buffer months can be captured by the institution. This enables the institution to ensure the escrow account never goes negative. By regulation, this value may not exceed 2 months.
Months Collected

Number of months difference between the last escrow disbursement payment (Next Due Date minus term for payment frequency) for the housing expense and the Start Date. Terms (calculated as a whole number) include:

  • Annual = 1 year
  • Semi-Annually = 6 months
  • Quarterly = 3 months
  • Bi-Monthly = 2 months
  • Monthly = 1 month
  • Quad-Weekly = 4 weeks 
  • Semi-Monthly = 15 days
  • Bi-Weekly = 2 weeks
  • Weekly = 1 week
Due at Closing

IF IsIncludedInEscrow = true

  • THEN Monthly Payment Amount * (Months Collected + Additional Months)

ELSE use current calculation logic for Due At Closing

The Additional Months field allows institutions to capture the number of additional escrow payments to be paid at closing.
Annual Disbursement Amount Monthly Payment Amount * 12

When an application is calculated, the following escrow values are calculated:

Field Description Calculation
Start Date Captures when the Escrow payments begin being received. Application.FirstDueDate
Total Monthly Payment Amount to Escrow Captures the total of Monthly Payment Amount for all housing expenses. Total of Monthly Payment Amount for all housing expenses where IsIncludedInEscrow is true.
Total Cushion Amount Captures the total of Cushion Amount for all housing expenses. Total of Cushion Amount for all housing expenses where IsIncludedInEscrow is true
Escrow Low Point Captures the Low Point amount from the Aggregate Analysis calculations Refer to the Aggregate Analysis section within this topic.
Initial Deposit Captures the total amount the lender is allowed to collect at closing to establish the escrow account. Total Cushion Amount + Escrow Low Point
Total Due At Closing Captures the total of Due At Closing for all housing expenses. Total of Due At Closing for all housing expenses where IsIncludedInEscrow is true
Aggregate Adjustment Captures the amount the lender must "credit" the borrower at closing, so they don’t collect more than the initial payment amount. Initial Deposit - Total Due At Closing
Total Annual Disbursement Captures the total of Annual Disbursements for all housing expenses. Total of Annual Disbursed Amount for all housing expenses where IsIncludedInEscrow is true
Payment Amount Including Escrow Captures the loan payment amount including escrow. Application.PaymentAmount + (TotMthlyPaymentAmount / # of payments in a month based on Application.PaymentFrequency)
Aggregate Analysis Calculation

The Aggregate Analysis calculation is a basic balance sheet for the escrow account that starts with the month from the Start Date field.

  • Payment into Escrow has an entry for each time money is paid into the escrow account. This is based on the payment frequency of the loan and is rounded.
  • If a surplus is calculated, the low point is a positive balance and the surplus amount is carried to the secondary balance and final balance.
In the example below, the Start Date is in January and the Total Cushion Amount is $300.00.
Month make a row for each month, beginning with the month from Start Date, for the next 13 Payment into Escrow Account TotMnthlyPaymentAmount Payment from Escrow Account Amounts paid out of the escrow account, for housing expenses, in the months they are due. Initial Balance Amount in the account at the end of each month. Low Point Determine when the account reaches the lowest balance. Secondary Balance Low Point Amount** + Initial Balance (** as a positive amount) Final Balance TotCushionAmt + Low Point Amount
$0.00 $150.00 $450.00
January $150.00 $150.00 $300.00 $600.00
