Non-Bank Financial institutions: Building Societies
• Credit Union
• Credit unions are ADIs and regulated primarily by regulatory
authority. They tend to focus on consumer lending.
• Finance companies
• Finance companies provide a variety of financial services such as
consumer finance, business loans, purchasing business
• They are not ADIs
Contractual saving institutions
• Contractual savings institutions include national provident funds, life insurance
companies, private pension funds.
• They have long-term liabilities and stable cash flows and are therefore ideal
providers of term finance, not only to government and industry, but the
housing sector.
• Insurance companies: general vs life insurance

Background about commercial bank
• What is a commercial bank? How does it is different
from other financial institutions?
• They are different in term of: income source, structure
and funding sources.
• Commercial banks: definition
• Commercial banks work by accepting deposits from
customers and using those deposits to make loans.
Source of income
• Banks get their money from customer deposits, which allows them to then
offer these as loans.
• They make a profit on the interest they charge for mortgages, vehicle loans,
company loans, and personal loans. Customers with checking or savings
accounts will also receive interest on their deposits.
• Commercial banks often provide other services such as financial advice or
basic investment services.
The functions of commercial banks
• Commercial banking becomes more profitable when banks lend money to businesses and
individuals and there’s a wide difference between the interest charges on loans and deposits.
• The main issue a bank has to worry about is making sure it has enough cash on hand to
accommodate client withdrawal requests.

run?
As more customers withdraw their money, there is a likelihood
of default, and this will trigger more withdrawals to a point
where the bank runs out of cash.
• The source of funds appears on a bank balance sheet either as a liability that bank
eventually repay or equity funds provided by the shareholders.
• The sources of funds include
• Current account deposit
• Call and on demand deposit
• Term deposit
• Negotiable certificate of deposits
• Debt liabilities
• Foreign currencies liabilities:
Valuation for Bank certificate of deposit
• The price of the Certificate of Deposit is the present value
of Face value received on the maturity period based on
appropriate discount rate adjusted for days to maturity.
Example
• For example, if the Face Value OF A 180-Day to maturity CD is $100,000, the
buyer ma pay 96,755.38 to issuing bank. On maturity of the CD, the holder
of the CD received $100,000 on presentation CD to issuing bank.
• Price of CD:
• Like other corporations, banks own some fixed assets such as land, buildings, and
equipment.
• These assets often have an expected life of 20 years or more and are usually
financed with long term sources of funds, such as through the issuance of bonds.
Use of funds
• Personal and housing finance:
• Commercial lending: bank bill held , overdraft facilities
• Lending to government
Use of funds
• Bank Loans Types : business loan vs term loan
• A common type of business loan is the working capital loan designed to support on going
business operations.
• A working capital loan can support the business until sufficient cash inflows are generated.
These loans are typically short term, yet they may be needed by businesses on a frequent
basis.
• Banks also offer term loans, primarily to finance the purchase of fixed assets such as
machinery.
• A term loan involves a specified amount of funds to be loaned out, for a specified period of
time, and for a specified purpose.
Use of funds
• Revolving credit loan obligates the bank to offer up to some specified maximum
amount of fund over a specified period of time typically less than 5 years.
• Bank is committed to provide funds when requested; it charges a commitment
fee on unused funds.
• The interest rate charged by banks on loans to their most creditworthy
customers is known as the prime rate.

Commercial Bank Credit Policy
• Banks make loans different entities including personal, household, business and government. Each loan posits
different level of risks.
• However, banks employ certain measures to reduce the probability of defaults (loss loans provision or bad
debt).
• When conducting credit analysis, banks may use a variety of tools such as ratio analysis, cash flow analysis,
and trend analysis to determine the default risk of a loan.
• Sometimes, credit analysts may conduct a review of the collateral provided, credit history, and the
management’s ability.
• The analysts aim to predict the probability that the borrower will default on their financial obligations and
the level of losses that the lender will suffer in the event of default.
Commercial Bank Credit Policy
• The main ratio used to measure the repayment ability of the borrower is the
debt service coverage ratio (DSCR)
• DCRS = Total cash / Total debt obligation
• The debt obligation include both interest payment and principal payment which
are due.
• A DSCR of 1.5 is preferred, and it means that the entity generates enough cash
flows to pay all the debt payments and an additional 50% cash flow above what
is required to service its debt.
5 Cs for credit analysis
• The 5 C’s of credit analysis is a basic framework that guides the lender in
assessing the creditworthiness of a borrower. The 5 C’s are as follows:
• Character, capacity, capital, collateral and conditions
• Character is an important element of credit analysis, and it looks at the
borrower’s reputation for paying debts. The lender is interested in lending to
people who are responsible and needs to be confident that they have the right
experience, education background, and industry knowledge to generate income
5 Cs for credit analysis
• Capacity evaluates the borrower’s ability to service the loan using the cash flows
generated by individual / the business.
• The lender wants the assurance that individual / household or business generates
enough cash flows to able able to make principal and interest payments in full.
• Capital is the amount of money that the business owner or executive team has invested
in the business. Or individual or household invest in share markets those can be sold to
meet the obligation
• Lenders are willing to extend credit to borrowers who have invested their own money
into the business, which serves as proof of the borrower’s commitment to the business.
5 Cs for credit analysis
• Collateral is the security that the borrower provides as a guarantee for the loan,
and it acts as a backup in the event that the borrower defaults on the loan.
• Most often, the collateral provided for the loan is the asset that the borrower is
borrowing money to finance.
• For example, a home acts as collateral for a mortgage loan, and auto loans are
secured by vehicles. The collateral can also be accounts receivable or inventory
for the business, real estate or real property, factory equipment, and working
capital.
5 Cs for credit analysis
• The condition of the loan refers to the purpose of the loan, as well as the conditions of
the business and the broader economy.
• The loan’s purpose can be to purchase factory equipment, finance real estate
development, or serve as working capital. Loans with a specific purpose are easier to
approve than signature loans that can be used for any purpose.
• The lender also considers the condition of the environment in which the business
operates. The conditions can be the state of the economy.
• For example consumer sentiment survey suggests that there will be an optimistic
prospect of the economy.
Regulatory requirement for commercial banks
• Capital requirements are standardized regulations in place for banks and other
depository institutions that determine how much liquid capital (that is, easily sold
securities) must be held viv-a-vis a certain level of their assets.
• Express as a ratio the capital requirements are based on the weighted risk of the banks'
different assets.
• In the U.S. adequately capitalized banks have a tier 1 capital-to-risk-weighted assets
ratio of at least 4%.
• Capital requirements are often tightened after an economic recession, stock market
crash, or another type of financial crisis.
Capital adequacy requirement
• The Capital Adequacy Ratio set standards for banks by looking at a bank’s ability to pay
liabilities, and respond to credit risks and operational risks. A bank that has a good CAR has
enough capital to absorb potential losses. Thus, it has less risk of becoming insolvent and
losing depositors’ money. After the financial crisis in 2008, the
Bank of International Settlements (BIS) began setting stricter CAR requirements to protect
depositors.
The Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR) helps make sure banks have enough capital to
protect depositors’ money.
The formula for CAR is: (Tier 1 Capital + Tier 2 Capital) / Risk-Weighted Assets
• Capital requirements set by the BIS have become more strict in recent years.
Capital adequacy requirement
• Asset classes that are safe, such as government debt, have a risk weighting close to 0%.
Other assets backed by little or no collateral, such as a debenture, have a higher risk
weighting. This is because there is a higher likelihood the bank may not be able to collect
the loan. Different risk weighting can also be applied to the same asset class. For
example, if a bank has lent money to three different companies, the loans can have
different risk weighting based on the ability of each company to pay back its loan.
Capital adequacy requirement
• Calculating the Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR) – Worked Example
• Let us look at an example of Bank A. Below is the information of Bank A’s Tier 1 and 2 Capital, and
the risks associated with their assets.
• Bank A has three types of assets: Debenture, Mortgage, and Loan to the Government. To calculate
the risk-weighted assets, the first step is to multiply the amount of each asset by the
corresponding risk weighting:
Capital adequacy requirement
Debenture: $9,000 * 90% = $8,100
• As the loan to the government carries no risk, it contributes $0 to the risk-weighted assets.
• The second step is to add the risk-weighted assets to arrive at the total:
• Where:
• As Bank A has a CAR of 10%, it has enough capital to cushion potential losses and protect depositors’
money.
• Under Basel III, all banks are required to have a Capital Adequacy Ratio of at least 8%. Since Tier 1 Capital
is more important, banks are also required to have a minimum amount of this type of capital. Under
Basel III, Tier 1 Capital divided by Risk-Weighted Assets needs to be at least 6%.
Liquidity Coverage Ratio
• Liquidity Coverage Ratio: −Stock of high-quality liquid assets/ Total net cash
outflows over the next 30 calendar days
• − Minimum requirement = 100% −Ensures that the bank has adequate level of
assets to meet liquidity needs over the next 30 days
Basel III and bank liquidity
• The objective of the liquidity coverage ratio( LCR) is to promote the short-term
resilience of the liquidity risk profile of banks. It does this by ensuring that
banks have an adequate stock of unencumbered high-quality liquid assets
(HQLA) that can be converted easily and immediately in private markets into
cash to meet their liquidity needs for a 30 calendar day liquidity stress scenario.
