Collateral Tracking
A large portion of our software is completely user-defined, so with collateral tracking, you can set up an unlimited amount of collateral for pretty much anything. Collateral items are set up independently from loans, so you can link multiple loans to one item of collateral if you need to.
Construction Loans
We offer a highly configurable option set so you'll be able to handle your construction loans.
Your loans, user-defined throughout the construction phases will have options like automatically switching from interest only to amortizing when you're ready, and this all happens automatically without having to set up a new loan.

- The ability to make multiple disbursements, with a limit on the total principal to be disbursed.
- Support for a floating interest rate based on an independent index and a margin defined at the loan level.
- The daily calculation of the interest due in billing, payment processing, and accruals.
- The ability to choose whether interest is collected through the normal payment process or as a net amount from subsequent principal disbursements.
- And the ability to automatically convert to an amortizing loan using the loan’s pending changes.
Delinquent Loans
As much as we wished everyone was perfect, this area will inevitably be needed. Tracking delinquent loans doesn't have to be painful though. Using our built-in inquiries and reports along with our workflow management sub-system the process can be improved greatly. Workflow allows you to define action queues based on your criteria. An Action Queue is basically a rule to create workflow items with your criteria.
Investor Reporting and Accounting
This area is huge. Not just in the realm of the functionality, but with it's importance to your business. At it's core, handling investors is simple. Each loan is linked to at least one investor or source of funds, and then you can have as many investors linked to a loan as you want. Beyond this though, we track a huge amount of information ranging from things like payments, accruals, etc. across the board for all investors. Reporting can be handled from one investor to all investors with a high number of additional configurations possible. View more related to investor reporting.
Both internal participants and external investors can be referenced at up to three levels:

Investor Hierarchy
Investor
Top Level (e.g. company)
Segment
Middle Level (e.g. line of business)
Pool
Lowest Level - (e.g. product or source of funds)
Pending Changes
Set up loan adjustments whenever you'd like - today or for some point in the future. The system will know, and take these numbers into account on calculations, reporting, etc. Increase your servicing staff's efficiency, never miss a loan change, and automate whenever possible.
Project Tracking
This allows you to link multiple loans together. The reasons for this will most likely vary widely from business to business and is up to your users. This can also be useful for billing and/or reporting.
Subsidized Loans
You can have multiple subsidies (other payers) allowed per loan. You can track due dates by subsidy and by borrower. Late charges can be assessed based on the borrower amount due, and of course, you can do subsidy billing.
User-Defined Loan Setup
Simple or complex - it's up to you. You set the parameters, and you're always in control. Mix and match interest calculations with your interest types, and easily configure dozens of other settings like late charges, grace days, payment periods, and methods. Set up your loan scenarios the way you want.
We allow for a huge level of detail. Use our loan type templates for increased efficiency, less data entry, and improved loan setup times. And as always - it's your lingo and your unique servicing niche, so with our software being backed by user-defined tables you can use your own terms and your own parameters.
Expanded Loan Servicing Functionality
Additional functions that you may need.

Learn more »
Capitalized Interest
The amount capitalized can be calculated based upon a schedule of dates and percentages which you enter, or occur where the payment amount is less than the interest due for loans with negative amortization
Deferred Interest
You can set up a variable (increasing or decreasing) schedule of the interest percentage to be deferred each payment period, and a variable schedule for its repayment. Interest can also be charged on the deferred interest balance, and the rate that is charged can be different than the contract interest rate of the loan
Default Interest
Flexible parameters offer a wide range of options, including when to start assessing the interest, what to use for the calculation basis, and what interest rate to use.
Discount/Premium Loans
For loans which have been purchased at a discount or premium, LOANS! For .Net supports the automatic accrual of the discount or amortization of the premium over the life of the loan.

Straight Line

Escrow Processing

Breakdown loan delinquencies, loan counts, balances. The executive summary runs off your month end info, and can allow you to easily review your portfolio details over time.
Fees
Easily bill an unlimited number of user-defined fees.
Quickly specify a time period during which it should stay in effect. Fees can be set up to be included with the debt service payment and included in the billing process and printed on the borrower’s invoice. Or fees can be set up as unscheduled fees to be collected at payoff or another time. In addition, all fees are recorded in financial history.
Financial History
A complete record of each financial transaction is stored in the software. This history includes the transaction’s financial information and many of the loan’s key balances prior to the transaction. You can easily access all of this transaction history via inquiries and reports.
We allow you to enter payments days after they were actually received, and still have them reflected correctly in your loan balances. You can maintain as many years of financial history as you wish, being limited only by the amount of disk storage you’ve allocated.
GL Interface
We provide an automated, user-defined interface for linking your financial data in with your general ledger software.
Learn more »
- The ability to set up as many interfaces as you’d like, and the ability to link to more than one GL system and/or more than one set of accounts for the same GL(e.g. by loan and by investor).
- The ability to generate GL entries based on specific payment transactions or month end balances.
- The ability to define the general ledger accounts to be used based on optional selection criteria, such as loan type, dollar limit, or whether a loan is agent serviced.
- The ability to view the GL entries generated prior to their being exported, and make corrections as needed.
Insurance Tracking
We provide extensive support for insurance tracking.
Learn more »
- Support for multiple insurance types.
- The tracking of escrow and nonescrow policies.

Multi-Basis Tax Reporting
Set up as many reporting types as you'd like. This can include statutory, GAAP, tax, and others if needed.
For each reporting type, you’re allowed to define rules which are used in the calculation of interest reserve, book value, earned income, discount/premium amounts, and other values. LOANS! For .Net then automatically computes and stores these numbers for each loan and for each reporting type.
Payment Processing
We allow you to enter payments and process them in real-time or delay their processing until a later time. If you wish, the latter can be done as part of a nightly batch. Both methods calculate the amount due at the time of processing, taking into consideration any pending changes which have not yet been implemented, any floating interest rate changes, any adjustments which have been entered, and any scheduled principal payments which have not yet been paid.
Easily reverse payments, ACH for debit and credit, lock box processing, non-cash processing, manual payment entry, etc.
Payoff Processing
Quickly create payoff quotes based on any date. This can be useful when your borrower calls in and wants their information immediately.
The software can automatically create payoff letters which you can then mail or email. Easily reverse payoffs if necessary. You can even continue to post fees and escrow disbursements if needed after a loan has paid off.
Risk Management
We offer a number of features for assessing loans, notifying collectors and others of rating changes, and measuring an organization’s success at loss mitigation. These include the ability to create rules for rating loans and their related elements, such as loan financials, delinquencies, borrowers, loan types and geographical regions. You can also use these rules to set up an automated process periodically that assesses each loan and notifies the appropriate individuals when a rating change occurs. Additionally, real-time analysis tools are provided for monitoring at-risk loans.
Our analysis tools are integrated with our workflow management and financial reporting functions. You'll find management performance reports to summarize and compare rating and financial information with prior periods.
Schedule B Reporting
You'll be able to create Schedule B reports monthly, quarterly, or annually. In the first step of the process, separate Schedule B records are created for each loan in your portfolio as of the month end date that you specify. If necessary, you may then update the data for individual loan records to include information which may not be held in the LOANS! For .Net database. Once you are satisfied that the data is valid, you then can print Parts 1, 2, and 3, and the verification between years.
After year end, all Schedule B data is retained in the LOANS! For .Net database indefinitely and this allows you to rerun any of the reports whenever you’d like.
Special Billing Schedules
In addition to monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, and annual billing, we support loans that require a special, user-defined billing cycle.
Examples would include loans that have to be billed on the last business day of each month or loans that are billed on a 7 and 5 month cycle. You simply set up the billing schedules you need and then link them to whatever loans require their use. We then bill the loans, and calculate their expected payments based on those schedules.
Tax Processing
We provide extensive and automated support for tax processing.
Learn more »
- Support for multiple types of taxes.
- User-defined tax authorities and tax parameters.
- Escrow of tax payments.
- Interest earning and non-interest earning options on escrow processing.
- Automated escrow analysis and batch disbursements.
- Tracking of non-escrowed loans to ensure that their taxes are being paid.
What-if Loan Restructuring
Let your marketing team go wild. Explore that niche idea that could be the next big lending option. Imagine this as your loan sand box. In the what-if section of the software, you can essentially play with a loan to adjust parameters, and see future differences without actually affecting your loan. If you like what you see, you can then apply that to your live loan(s) without having to re-enter data.
