Strunk is proud to announce its newest solution, Pricing Manager. Pricing Manager is a fully hosted, web-based solution that allows community financial institutions (CFIs) to deploy a tool to all lenders to ensure they are armed to price loans profitably and consistently based on target profitability objectives.  It also provides the ability to understand the details of relationship profitability so better pricing decisions can be made.

Pricing Manager offers lenders the ability to vary rate, fee, risk premium and term structure among other variables, to understand the drivers of profitability and develop pricing options for borrowers that all achieve the target ROE for all types of loans. Deposit relationships can be included to see how much ‘pricing power’ each brings to the loan or total relationship. The solution contains built in assumptions for loan origination, loan servicing and cost of funds which can all be customized.

According to Strunk’s Chief Executive Officer, Dan Roderick “Until about a year and a half ago, pricing was fairly straight forward for most community FIs, given historically low interest rates and record high liquidity. However, that has changed dramatically, as should an FI’s approach to pricing. Liquidity, which only several months back was far from a consideration, is now becoming a concern for many community FIs. Economists are beginning to predict tightening commercial credit largely due to a downturn in commercial real estate values – particularly for office space and retail properties. At no point in history has proper loan pricing been more important.”

With Pricing Manager, Strunk offers a full featured loan and deposit pricing tool that will:

• Arm lenders with the tools needed in an increasingly competitive environment.
• Include a relationship profitability module.
• Allow instant adjustments to a shifting rate environment and ensure pricing consistency.
• Increase profitability.
• Produce rate sheets for consumer loans.
• Provide clients with pricing offers that will win more deals.
