Refi Analyzer Product Refi Analyzer is Symitar s competitive loan cross-sell product. Integrated with Episys, Enhanced Member Application (EMA), and Enhanced Loan Application (ELA), Refi Analyzer scans credit reports to identify loans a member has open with other lenders. Refi Analyzer automatically determines whether an individual and any trade lines meet credit union-defined criteria, and determines whether the credit union s rates are lower than the estimated rates on qualifying loans. The credit union s risk-based pricing criteria and loan rate tables are used to determine a refinance rate, but credit union employees will most likely need other information before a final offer is made. For example, staff may need to collect a member s current income to calculate a debt ratio or, for secured loans, the collateral value to calculate a loan-to-value ratio. Refi Analyzer can be launched any time a credit report is pulled, including during the new member or new loan process, which makes it easy for staff to present potential refinance offers at the time a member is in the branch or on the phone. A Scenario Calculator allows employees to calculate, display, and compare up to 10 payment scenarios simultaneously, including shortening or extending the term, changing the payment frequency, adding loan protection insurance options, or lowering the rate with credit union-defined loan discounts. The member can then decide which scenario they prefer, and the staff member can print the refinance offer information. Credit unions can also run Refi Analyzer in batch mode for credit reports that are transferred into Episys or that were not analyzed in real-time. Unlike other offers a member may receive that lower the payment amount but extend the term a Refi Analyzer offer is not created for a term loan unless a member will save on both the monthly payment and the total interest due over the remaining life of the loan. The refinance offer information and the associated credit report fields are stored in an Account Tracking record with a status of New Offer. The status changes when a member Declines, indicates Ask Later, or Accepts an offer. If a member indicates they want to pursue a refinance offer, the basic loan information is transferred to ELA and the Tracking record is updated with the Loan App ID. If a refinance offer is booked, the Tracking record status is updated to Loan Created and the Loan ID is entered in the Tracking record. The Tracking record fields provide the details needed for reporting the number, amount, status, and results of refinance offers. The Account Tracking records can also be used to create an extract of refinance offers.
