Bobbie Britting and Kathleen Khirallah, TowerGroup ResearchPersonal Lending Situation Analysis
As a bank executive responsible for personal lending, you've probably encountered some of the following challenges:
- Your Q3 volume is 20% below plan: Should you change your pricing? If so, what is the appropriate change in APR to make up volume without dropping yield?
- Your biggest competitor drops rates by 25 basis points: How do you respond and how will your price move impact volumes and yield?
- Your capture rates for some customer segments are lower than expected: Should you lower rates for those customer segments? If so, what rate change would improve your results?
Why is Pricing and Profitability Management a Better Approach?
Innovative lenders are adopting a Pricing and Profitability Management approach to significantly increase profits, obtain valuable customer insight, and gain a competitive advantage. They have implemented Pricing and Profitability Management solutions in 12 weeks, realized 10-20% profit improvements within three months, and have achieved a 10X return on investment (ROI) within a year of use.
Nomis Solutions developed the Nomis Price Optimizer™ for Personal Lending specifically for the unique needs of Consumer Lenders. Nomis Price Optimizer helps maximize profits, while maintaining market share and revenues. Through the strategic use of customer data, the software allows you to optimize pricing by product and customer segment, across hundreds, thousands, or hundreds of thousands of pricing cells. The solution provides an understanding of how specific customer segments value your lending products and the optimal rate and price that should be offered.
The Nomis Price Optimizer for Personal Lending enables you to:
- Better Tailor Prices and Maximize Profitability: Leveraging lost quote data, the solution provides a better understanding of consumer price sensitivity. By incorporating business goals, the solution increases profits while maintaining volume and credit quality. Accounting for adverse selection enables the solution to understand the critical interactions between pricing and risk.

Managing the impact of price-driven attrition, early settlement, and default ensures that profit improvements are sustainable over time.
- Better Track and Control Pricing Decisions: Providing an integrated view of the entire pricing process provides the ability to monitor performance, analyze gaps and opportunities for improvement, and learn how the market responds to new rates and prices. Having a record of all pricing decisions and the factors that influenced price enables you to better meet regulatory requirements.
