Topic: Pricing Discipline in a Rising Rate Environment
What are the greatest benefits of using pricing models and what are the drawbacks? If we believe the 80/20 rule to be true (80% of profits are generated by 20% of customers), does loan pricing discipline incent those making pricing decisions to reduce the profitability of the 20% because they are materially over the profit hurdle? In other words, does disciplined loan pricing reduce the 20% that we need to carry the 80%? And how do deposit strategies fit into pricing discipline?
Does your bank use a loan pricing model? Why not?
Our guest and co-host for this topic is Joel Rosenberg, Managing Director- Client Success and Delivery at PrecisionLender. Joel brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise of the banking industry to PrecisionLender. He gets the title of being an “expert” in loan pricing and profitability because he has over 16 years of experience in it. He received his BS in Economics from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and his MBA from Carnegie-Mellon University. He also has a Charter Financial Analysts designation (CFA). He went on to be the Treasurer of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston, community banks, and Prudential Financial’s banking subsidiary in Atlanta. In 2000, Joel joined the US Banking Alliance as a Senior Vice President for Consulting. It was there that he started to work with pricing software and the people who would soon form PrecisionLender. In 2014, Joel created PrecisionLender’s satellite office in Atlanta (aka his home office) and began working with bankers all over the country to understand how PrecisionLender works.
