Step 4 - Product
Loan Product Selection
In this step, you will need to choose the most suitable loan product for your client. This selection determines the structure and terms of the loan.
Field Name
Description
Loan Product
Select the type of loan product being applied for.
Insurance
Choose a voluntary insurance policy for the loan. (If the loan product chosen requires this)
Instalment Frequency
Select how often loan repayments will be made (e.g., weekly, monthly).
Authorized Employer
Select the employer authorized for payroll deduction or loan approval. This is used solely for factoring in predefined discount calculations. If the desired employer is not listed, please choose "Other."
This Loan First Instalment
Select the date of the first installment, used for interest calculation.
Amount
Enter the total loan amount being requested.
Instalments
Specify the number of installments for loan repayment.
Optional Insurance
Some loan products come with an authorized insurance policy as a requirement. If your client wants to exclude this coverage, simply de-select the "Voluntary Insurance" or "Credit Life" checkbox.
Maximum Feature
After entering the first installment date, a "Maximum" button will appear. Clicking this button will automatically calculate the highest loan amount your client qualifies for, based on various repayment periods.
This calculation is powered by Mobiloan’s advanced affordability algorithm, which takes into account factors such as the client’s surplus, repayment capacity, and predefined affordability limits to determine the optimal loan amount.
Once the system completes the calculation, a dialog box will appear displaying different maximum loan options.
Simply select the most suitable option from the list, as shown in the screenshot below.
To generate a loan summary, ensure all required fields are filled in, then click "Calculate".
In the case of a coupled Groups R US insurance policy being chosen- Mobiloan will automatically populate the Groups R US policy values and display them on the screen. The premium cost will be shown, and if accepted, it will be seamlessly included in the client’s monthly loan payment and affordability assessment.
Mobiloan will then load a loan summary table - in preparation for the next step of the origination workflow.
Viewing the Repayment Schedule
For a more detailed breakdown of loan costs, you can select the "Repayment Schedule" option.
The schedule itself consists of the following values :
Installment Details:
