Since we do not make our own money, we are thus forced to ‘rent’ money...
What is the price for borrowing (renting) money?

Pricing Transparency
• What is it?– the price, terms, and conditions of financial
products are adequately and clearly disclosed to clients
![Page 17: Transparent Pricing Workshop](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062315/5681573a550346895dc4e193/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Disclosure of price terms and conditions of financial
product to clients
![Page 18: Transparent Pricing Workshop](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062315/5681573a550346895dc4e193/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Pricing Transparency
• Why is it needed?– So clients can have accurate understanding of prices – To allow comparison of different products– Protect reputation of banks. If buyers get
abused, banking becomes a tarnished industry.– Transparent pricing protects the poor and
protects the rural banking industry (MF Transparency, 2011)
![Page 19: Transparent Pricing Workshop](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062315/5681573a550346895dc4e193/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Benefits of Transparency

Benefits of Transparency
• Funders and donors:– Know what their client MFIs charge their
customers– Choose their partners accordingly
• Regulators– Observe the prices prevailing in the market– Sharpen their ability to intervene specifically and
refine policy

Method of computing interest. Banks may only charge interest based on the outstanding balance of the loan at the beginning of an interest period.

![Page 26: Transparent Pricing Workshop](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062315/5681573a550346895dc4e193/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Definition of Terms
• Finance charge – includes interest, fees, service charges,
discounts, and such others incident to the extension of credit.
• Simple annual rate – uniform percentage representing the ratio of the
finance charge and the amount to be financed, assuming that:
• One-year term,• Lump sum payment upon maturity, and;• No upfront deduction of principal
![Page 27: Transparent Pricing Workshop](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062315/5681573a550346895dc4e193/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
What is included in the calculations?
Included• Service charges• Documentary Stamps• REM/CM fees• Appraiser’s fee• Notarial fees• CTC (cedula)?• Barangay clearance?• GRT?
Excluded• Savings collected• Insurance
![Page 28: Transparent Pricing Workshop](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062315/5681573a550346895dc4e193/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
• Other conditions:– If assumptions are different, then the Effective
Interest Rate (EIR) shall be calculated and disclosed as the relevant true cost to the borrower.
– For contractual interest rate stated on a monthly basis EIR is stated on a monthly basis.
![Page 29: Transparent Pricing Workshop](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062315/5681573a550346895dc4e193/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
So what is EIR?
• Effective Interest Rate– Rate that exactly discounts future cashflows
through the life of a loan to the net amount of loan proceeds.
– Uses IRR (Internal Rate of Return) method.
![Page 30: Transparent Pricing Workshop](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062315/5681573a550346895dc4e193/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
And IRR is?
• Internal Rate of Return– Rate that makes the net present value of all
cash flows from a particular loan equal to zero.
– Also also known as the “Economic Rate of Return”
– Extensively uses discounted rate of return of cashflows.
![Page 31: Transparent Pricing Workshop](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062315/5681573a550346895dc4e193/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Exercise 1: Calculating annual and monthly EIR. For each scenario, assume:Loan Amount 120,000.00Contractual Rate (Monthly) 1.50% Other Charges 3.00% No. of Monthly Installments 12
Exercise 2: Just like Exercise 1, do the same for your bank’s loan product.

Change Process Flow
• STEP 1: Product and Pricing Review1. Review products affected by Circular 730. That
is, review all loan products in particular those using flat rates.
2. Conduct scenario analysis for each product if these are calculated based on the following scenarios:
a) Use current terms and conditionsb) Use simple annual ratesc) Use EIR on an annual basisd) Use EIR quoted on a monthly basis
3. Compare these with the original flat rates.
![Page 40: Transparent Pricing Workshop](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062315/5681573a550346895dc4e193/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)

Change Process Flow
• STEP 2: Test Market & Bank Impact 1. Considering market perception and
competition, choose which scenario is best acceptable for the bank.
2. Conduct sensitivity analysis by tweaking components of the finance charges or mandatory fees to reveal competitive prices.
3. Consider tiered pricing mechanisms for each market.

Strategies to Mitigate Impact
• Drop or reduce some finance charges. What can be dropped or reduced?
• Change collection practices to become optional. What are the collection terms that can be modified? Are you prepared to lower rates if loan payment is made at the branch?
• Spread service charges throughout the term of the loan.
![Page 48: Transparent Pricing Workshop](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062315/5681573a550346895dc4e193/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Strategies to Mitigate Impact
• Educate borrowers on why EIR rules are in place and how this may not really affect the amount and quality of the loan.
• Unbundle embedded products (insurance, savings, etc.)
• Other strategies?
![Page 49: Transparent Pricing Workshop](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062315/5681573a550346895dc4e193/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Change Process Flow
• STEP 3: Approval and Internal Roll-out 1. Recommend the final prices for the loan
products to the Asset & Liability Committee or similar price-setting body within the bank.
2. Prepare the corresponding marketing & communication materials for distribution and to explain to staff and customers.
3. Modify IT/MIS system4. Conduct internal trainings about the new
pricing schemes including how to handle customer reaction.
![Page 50: Transparent Pricing Workshop](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062315/5681573a550346895dc4e193/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
• Exercise 6: Develop procedures or work plan for internal roll-out. (Total time including group presentations: 30 minutes).
1. Divide into 3 or more groups.2. Each group will provide transition procedures
based on assigned topics (Marketing, Communications, IT).
3. Each group is given a maximum of 10 minutes to present their general procedure.

• STEP 4: Public Communications & Complaint Handling
“x307.4 Posters. Bank shall post in conspicuous places in their principal place of business and branches, the information as contained in the revised format of disclosure statement .... The posters shall include an explicit notification that the disclosure statement is a required attachment to the loan contract and the customer has a right to demand a copy of such disclosure.”

Change Process Flow
• STEP 4: Public Communications & Complaint Handling1. Put posters about the new pricing scheme
including:• Notification that the disclosure statement is a
required attachment to the loan contract, and;• The customer has a right to demand a copy of
such disclosure.

Change Process Flow
• STEP 4: Public Communications & Complaint Handling2. Prepare price comparisons between
competitors in case customers inquire and compare the bank with other lenders (banks, pawnshops, finance companies, NGOs).
3. Prepare script to be used by frontline staff for common complaints such as:

Tips for Communicating
1. Develop key messages: “The new interest rates is about ...”
2. Write down key messages and assign branch point person.
3. Use posters as aid in explanation.4. Compare differences and similarities from
past and present loan proceeds.5. Be honest and professional in approach and
demeanor.6. Other tips?

To Conclude
• Pricing transparency is only one among many challenges that a bank will face.
• To address the new rules on interest rate calculations, a multi-stakeholder approach must be utilized to address this bank-wide issue.
• Support across the organization is essential for proper execution.
• To differentiate oneself from one’s competitors, product modifications must be made.
• More importantly, preparation is key to adapting to these new rules.
• Be ready! Start early! Prepare now!
