Introduction
Loans are very simple contracts with remarkable properties. One person lends
something to another with the promise that it will be repaid in the future. Lending
Institutions are one of the most important institutions that most of the Filipinos especially
in lower and middle class society are needing for. These are any type of financial
organization or institution that provides loans to borrowers. The range of loan types
offered by any one financial institution will vary, depending on the structure of the
organization. Typically, all lenders will charge some rate of interest for the amount of
funds borrowed, and require the borrower to commit to a contract that spells out the
bank. Other organizations such as building society, credit union, and savings & loan
In the Philippines, one major source of their living is through lending money to
the bank or any other financial institutions to support their small businesses in order to
provide and support an everyday living for their family, while some of them just go
directly to the people they know who can kindly lend their money to them and just
secure a non-formal loan agreement against one another. One major reason why some
of them would prefer to borrow from the people they know or from the people related to
them is because the relationship between the two parties that they have built, probably
for so many years. And that is what every establishment, either a lending institution or

company always refer to, are good loan payers during the 1 st and 2nd cycle of the
lending process, but during the 3rd cycle, the collectors find it hard to collect the loans
and some of the clients will be “missing-in-action”. The failure of paying during the 3 rd
cycle resulted to bad accounts and the company can no longer do anything about it.
Another behavior that the clients in Trinity International are misbehaving was that, they
are good loan payers, and they have also finished all the cycles but these clients did not
come back for another transactions and it has been made for a short period of time.

The Jews become the bankers or “money lenders” but according to them,
“Bankers, at least one at a time, represented a term of honor”. They were forced by the
church and this was how the Jewish money lending worked: “The Count or Nobleman of
the town will loan money to the Jew, and the Jew in turn would loan money to the non-
Jewish peasants.” The Jew became the middleman, which was a very dangerous
position, when the peasants would have a hard time paying back, the Jews’ life would
be in danger because the nobleman would kill them if they failed to collect the money

Buttle and Maklan (2015) define CRM as the core business strategy that
integrates internal processes and functions, external networks, to create and deliver
the term “Customer Relationship Management (CRM)”. Their understanding range from
approaches for the establishment and design of long-term relationships. The effort to

termination of economic relations with customers and other concerned subjects for the
mutual benefit of all involved parties, which is achieved by mutual fulfilling of obligations
and values.”
Whereas, Kumar and Reinartz (2012) define CRM from a business strategy level,
CRM aims to gain a long-term competitive advantage by optimally delivering value and
satisfaction to the customer and extracting business value from the exchange. From this
standpoint, CRM is the strategic process of selecting customers that a firm can most
profitably serve and shaping interactions between a company and these customers. The
ultimate goal is to optimize the current and future value of customers for the company.
In order for any action in CRM to be successful it requires consistent data about
customers which will be accessible to every employee of a company. That is also highly

calls this “types” of CRM, but other authors incline to a view by Dohnal (2002, p. 59) that
describes this as three parts of CRM application architecture: analytical, operative and
collaborative.
(Dohnal, 2002, p.63) The purposes of Analytical CRM are customer data
CRM can gather information using data mining (tool for data gathering), what services
they purchased right away and what they have purchased eventually. It can find
patterns in their behavior and propose next steps during up-selling or cross selling,
propose prices or even develop and propose new products. At some point, Analytical
CRM serves as a help during decision making e.g. manuals for employees working in

to communicate with various employees using various channels but creating the feeling
that customer is being taken care of by just one person. It can also minimize the time
that the worker has to spend typing the information and administrating (the data is
shared). This allows the company to increase the efficiency of their employees work and
they are then able to serve more customers. All communication with the customer is
tracked and stored in the database and if necessary it is effectively provided to users
(workers).
And the last part of CRM function is the Collaborative CRM that enables all
