Temenos Lifecycle Management Suite - Account Origination Product Guide
Cross-Sells

Cross-sells provides users an interface to sell additional  account products, therefore providing additional value to the applicant's relationship with the institution. Cross-Sells are opportunities generated by the rules engine. The opportunities that generate are based on the decision models and varies across applications. When an application has been approved, users are able to navigate to the Cross-sells screen to offer the opportunities generated.

In addition to the Cross-sells screen, a Cross-sell panel is available to provide users with the ability to offer existing cross-sell opportunities and generate new non-loan cross-sells. For details about the Cross-sell panel, please see the Underwriting Review topic in this guide.

This topic includes the following information:

Cross-sells Screen

The Cross-sell screen is divided into two tabs: Opportunities and Liabilities.

Opportunities Tab

The Opportunities tab displays the approved cross-sell opportunities that have generated for the applicant. Each opportunity is presented within a card that displays product details, such as: Cross-sell Amount, Monthly Payment, Credit Line, Term, and Rate.

Cross-sell Amount, Monthly Payment, Credit Line, Term, and Rate are not displayed for account product offers.
If an account product is already added to the application, the same product is not generated as a cross-sell.

Opportunities Tab Details

At the top of the Opportunities tab, a toolbar displays three buttons.

Button Description
Allows users to view the most recent cross-sell opportunities.

Allows users to initiate the cross-sell generation process. Clicking this button allows users to manually generate offers, if cross-sells have not been generated by Event Processing. If cross-sells have been generated by Event Processing, clicking this button reprocesses all offers.

Clicking Regenerate Opportunities clears all responses for previously generated offers. Additionally, all manually created Cross-sell offers must be re-created.

Beneath the toolbar, the generated cross-sells are itemized within cards that are sorted according to opportunity type:

Within each opportunity type grouping, cross-sells are sorted by Date Created.

Account Cross-sell Offer Cards

Account cross-sell offer cards highlight the details of each account cross-sell and allow users to perform actions. These cards contain the following functional areas:

The format and action buttons within each card are consistent, however the details presented vary according to the type of opportunity.

Show1 - Opportunity and Product

Within the Opportunity and Product section, the type of cross-sell opportunity displays in bold text.

Account product offers are not denoted with an icon.
       

Beneath the opportunity type, the name of the cross-sell product is displayed.

Show2 - Script and Actions

The Script and Action section displays the following icons:

Icon Description

Allows users to view the Sales Script configured for the cross-sell product. Clicking this icon opens the sales script in a pop-up window.

 

Allows a user to delete a cross-sell offer.

An offer can only be deleted if the following conditions are met:

  • The offer was not created by Temenos Infinity.
  • The account product has not yet been added to the parent application.

 

Show3 - Response

The Response section allows users to view and provide responses for each cross-sell offer that has not been accepted. 

Within each cross-sell card, a  button is available to allow users to accept or decline a cross-sell offer in an application.

Clicking this button opens a window that lists the available responses for the offer:

 

Select the check box to indicate the desired response, and click OK to close the window.

If Follow-up is selected, a field dynamically appears, which requires users to provide a follow-up date.

Once the window is closed, the selected response populates in bold in the card, and the  button updates to 

Liabilities Tab

The Liabilities tab does not populate with existing liability information for account cross-sells.

The Liabilities tab contains a grid that lists existing liabilities from an applicant’s credit report. The liabilities that populate in this list are not linked to a Replacement or Consolidation Offer. Each liability imported populates as a new row within the liabilities grid.

For a liability to populate in this section, it must be classified as an expense and have an ECOA code of I, J, S or U. Additionally, a liability cannot have a concurrent application.

Users are able to select liabilities from this grid to manually create Replacement and Consolidation Offers. Once liabilities have been selected for Replacement or Consolidation Offers, they are removed from the Liabilities tab.

This grid displays liability attributes within the following columns:

Column Name Description
Creditor Displays the name of this financial institution that holds the liability.
Credit Limit Displays the credit limit of the liability.
Assumed Monthly Payment Displays the assumed monthly payment based on the assumed interest rate and balance.
Assumed Interest Rate

Displays the assumed interest rate for the liability.

Reference the section below for an overview of the logic used to calculate the Assumed Interest Rate for closed end liabilities:

ShowAssumed Interest Rate Calculation

The system uses the following logic to calculate the Assumed Interest Rate for closed-end liabilities:

Field used for Calculation Logic

Liability > Original Loan Amount

or

Liability > High Credit Amount

The value of the Origination Loan Amount is used to calculate the Assumed Interest Rate, unless the Original Loan Amount is NULL/Empty. If Original Loan Amount is NULL/Empty, the High Credit Amount field is used in the Assumed Interest Rate calculation.
Liability > Term If the value of Term is NULL/Empty, the calculation for Assumed Interest Rate is performed using the values for Liability > Assumed Balance and Liability > Assumed Remaining Term.
Assumed Balance

Displays the assumed balance of the liability.

Assumed Remaining Amount Displays the assumed remaining loan amount of the liability.
Assumed Remaining Term

Displays the assumed remaining loan term of the liability.

The system automatically sets this field to the number of months remaining on the existing loan; however, this value may be overridden using rule logic. For more information on this functionality, please see the Cross-Sell Products Admin topic.

Assumed Collateral Value Displays the assumed collateral value of the liability.
Is Housing Displays a check box that indicates if a liability is a housing expense.
Adjustment Percentage

Indicates what percent of the product or liability is to be included in the cross-sell decision.

The % Include column defaults to 100, which denotes that 100% of the liability is to be included in the cross-sell decision.
Maturity Date Displays the maturity date of the liability.
Balloon Due Date Displays the balloon due date of the liability.
Balloon Amount Displays the balloon amount of the liability.
Past Due Displays the past due balance of the liability.
Adjusted Balance Displays the adjusted balance of the liability based on the % Include value.
Adjusted Monthly Payment Displays the adjusted payment of the liability based on the % Include value.
Payment Frequency Displays the payment frequency of the liability.
Trade Category Indicates the liability category such as Automobile or Credit Card.
Account Number

Displays the liability's account number.

When the Trade Category for a Liability is Credit Card or Department Store, all but the last four digits of the credit card account number appear masked within the Account Number field to be in compliance with the PCI regulations that require credit card numbers to be masked and not displayed in clear text on a screen. While this functionality cannot be disabled, the  icon that appears in the Account Number field does provide the ability to temporarily unmask the value of the credit card number by hovering over the icon. Navigating away from the icon once again masks the credit card account number.

The ability to unmask the value of the credit card number is determined by the system administrator. If a user is not granted permission to view masked fields, a tool-tip is presented to the user when hovering over the  icon to identify that permission to unmask the field is not enabled.

To provide a user with the ability to unmask fields, set the View Masked Fields permission to View under the Application Processing category in the Permissions tab of System Management > Users, or System Management > Origination > Groups > Security Groups.

ECOA Code Displays the liability's ECOA Code.
Status Displays a liability's delinquency status.
Last Reported Date Displays the date when a liability was last reported to the credit bureau.
Description Displays any further information about the liability.
Open Date Indicates the date the liability was opened.

Above the Liabilities grid, a toolbar allows users to perform the following functions:

Button Description
Allows a user to replace a single applicant liability at another institution with a loan.
Allows a user to consolidate multiple applicant liabilities into a single loan.
For more information on the functionality of these buttons, refer to the Generating Cross-sell Opportunities section.

Cross-sell Opportunities

The following cross-sell types may be presented within the Cross-sell screen's Opportunities tab:

Account Offers

Account offers are cross-sells for account products. These offers many include products such as Certificates of Deposit, IRA's and Preferred Checking accounts.

Generating Cross-sell Opportunities

Cross-sell opportunities are generated manually through  or automatically through Event Processing.

When a manual cross-sell is added on a screen that includes other application data, the application data is cleared when the cross-sell is saved; therefore, it is highly recommended that the screen is saved prior to regenerating opportunities, or refreshing the Cross-sell panel to ensure that the application data is maintained. 

Regenerate Opportunities

Upon navigating to the Cross-sells screen, users are notified that no cross-sell opportunities currently exist.

To generate cross-sells, click  within the Cross-sells toolbar. A notification appears which alerts users that continuing causes all existing cross-sell to be overwritten. Click Yes.

Cross-sells generate and populate within the Opportunities tab.

Event Processing

Cross-sell products may be generated by the system-defined Process Cross-sells on Approval event and action pair or a custom pair created by the institution. Upon completing the defined event, such as Application Approval, cross-sells are processed. Once all cross-sell opportunities have been generated, a Notification alerts users that cross-sells have been generated.

To ignore the cross-sell opportunities Notification, click Dismiss to remove the Notification. Click Close to acknowledge and retain the Notification.

Navigate to the Cross-sell screen via the workflow or manually select the screen to work the cross-sells that were generated.

The StopCrossSellAction rule prevents cross-sell opportunities from generating on applications and child applications.

Processing Cross-sell Opportunities

Cross-sell offers may be processed directly within the Offer Card, by clicking Provide Response.

Account Offers

Processing Account Offers within Offer Cards

            
If the account product is later removed from the application via the Add Account Product screen, the response displayed within the cross-sell offer card is changed to Declined.

Accepted Cross-Sells

Accepting Account cross-sell offers adds the account product to the current "parent" application. A separate "child" application is not created for account product cross-sells.
