Lessons and Pitfalls For Banks in Commercial Loan Pricing
We estimate that roughly 15% of banks under $1B in assets currently use a loan pricing model (in-house or purchased). For banks under $250mm in assets, that percentage is substantially smaller. Furthermore, of banks under $1B, the percentage that uses a true RAROC model (risk-adjusted return on capital) is almost insignificant (we estimate that number to be less than 1%).
