Exercise
Once a loan application has been approved by the loan provider, an
acceptance pack is prepared and sent to the customer. The acceptance pack
includes a repayment schedule which the customer needs to agree upon by
sending the signed documents back to the loan provider. The latter then
verifies the repayment agreement: if the applicant disagreed with the
repayment schedule, the loan provider cancels the application; if the applicant
agreed, the loan provider approves the application. In either case, the process
completes with the loan provider notifying the applicant of the application
status.
Solution
Exercise
A loan application is approved if it passes two checks: (i) the applicants loan
risk assessment, done automatically by a system, and (ii) the appraisal of the
property for which the loan has been asked, carried out by a property
appraiser. The risk assessment requires a credit history check on the applicant,
which is performed by a financial officer. Once both the loan risk assessment
and the property appraisal have been performed, a loan officer can assess the
applicants eligibility. If the applicant is not eligible, the application is rejected,
otherwise the acceptance pack is prepared and sent to the applicant.

A loan application may be coupled with a home insurance which
is offered at discounted prices. The applicant may express their
interest in a home insurance plan at the time of submitting their
loan application to the loan provider. Based on this information, if
the loan application is approved, the loan provider may either
only send an acceptance pack to the applicant, or also send a
home insurance quote. The process then continues with the
verification of the repayment agreement.
