The Bank Loan Analytics project aims to provide comprehensive insights into the performance of loan applications, disbursements, and repayments through dynamic Power BI dashboards. By analyzing key metrics such as loan application trends, total funded amounts, average interest rates, and borrower profiles, this project helps financial institutions make data-driven decisions to improve loan operations and customer relationships.
The project includes three dashboards:
The main objective of this project is to monitor and analyze the performance of loan applications and disbursements across various dimensions such as loan terms, regional differences, borrower profiles, and loan purposes. The key insights are visualized using a range of Power BI charts and KPIs that help financial teams make informed decisions and optimize the loan portfolio.
- Total Loan Applications: Track the total number of loan applications and observe trends Month-to-Date (MTD) and Month-over-Month (MoM).
- Total Funded Amount: Measure the total funds disbursed as loans and analyze MTD and MoM changes.
- Total Amount Received: Understand the repayment patterns and cash inflow from borrowers.
- Average Interest Rate: Calculate the average interest rate across loans and monitor trends.
- Average Debt-to-Income Ratio (DTI): Gauge the financial health of borrowers with the average DTI.
- Good Loan vs. Bad Loan Metrics: Compare metrics such as application percentages, funded amounts, and amounts received for both good and bad loans.
This dashboard presents the key metrics in an aggregated view for a high-level understanding of the bank's lending performance:
- Key KPIs: Total Loan Applications, Funded Amount, Amount Received, Interest Rate, DTI.
- Good Loan vs Bad Loan Comparisons: Visualize application percentages, total funded amount, and repayment status.
- Loan Status Grid View: Provides a breakdown of loans by status, including the total number of applications, funded amount, and average DTI.
A deep dive into specific dimensions to help understand the distribution and trends:
- Monthly Trends (Line Chart): Track loan applications over time to identify seasonality or anomalies.
- Regional Analysis (Filled Map): Visualize loan activity by state and uncover regional disparities.
- Loan Term Analysis (Donut Chart): View how loans are distributed across various term lengths.
- Employment Length (Bar Chart): Analyze how borrowers’ employment history influences loan application trends.
- Loan Purpose Breakdown (Bar Chart): A visual breakdown of loan purposes.
- Home Ownership (Tree Map): Explore how home ownership status affects loan disbursements.
A detailed view to access specific borrower and loan performance data:
- Grid View: Provides an extensive grid layout with all relevant metrics, including borrower profiles, loan performance, and other critical data points.
-
Positive Loan Growth: The total number of loan applications and the amount funded have seen a steady increase, indicating strong demand.
-
Good Loan Dominance: Good loans represent 86.2% of the total portfolio, suggesting a healthy lending process with lower risk.
-
Interest Rate and Risk Correlation: Higher interest rates seem to be associated with bad loans, as seen with the 13.88% rate for charged-off loans versus 11.64% for fully paid loans. This indicates that riskier borrowers may be charged higher interest rates.
-
Improved Cash Flow: The Month-over-Month (MoM) growth in total repayment is 15.84%, showing positive signs of loan recovery and improved borrower repayment behavior.
-
DTI Insight: The Average Debt-to-Income (DTI) ratio for the overall loan portfolio stands at 13.3%, reflecting borrowers' ability to manage debt within their income levels.
