Class 3—Banking and Loans
Churches understand what they want out of a banking relationship—low fees and great products. Churches understand what they want out of banking loans—lots of money and low interest rates. But what is the bank’s perspective? What should the church consider in a banking relationship? There are hallmarks of good bank relationships. Churches should consider issues of lines of credit, letters of credit, short-term and long- term loans and the number of accounts for FSDA amounts. Banks have criteria for loans, such as cash reserves, financial stability, audits and independence of finance committees. This class will pull back the curtain on what the bank considers to be a great relationship and whom the bank would want to make a loan to.
