This article points out that lenders should understand interagency guidelines, maintain program independence, use selection criteria for valuators and become familiar with appraisal standards. The article suggests that, to ensure real estate collateral is sound, it’s important to set up an effective, efficient and comprehensive review program.

Staying ahead of the game

Review your real estate valuation program

The value of real estate collateral is likely fundamental to the value of your loan portfolios. So it’s important to stay on top of real estate value fluctuations and obtain periodic appraisals according to the rules. You also need to understand interagency guidelines, maintain program independence, use selection criteria for valuators and become familiar with appraisal standards. Doing all this can keep you ahead of the game.

What are the interagency guidelines?

Start your evaluation by revisiting the kingpin of any valuation program, the Interagency Appraisal and Evaluation Guidelines. They apply to appraisals and evaluations for all real estate–related financial transactions originated or purchased by regulated institutions, whether for the institutions’ own portfolios or as assets held for sale. The guidelines cover residential and commercial mortgages, capital markets groups, and asset securitization and sales units.

Most transactions valued at more than $250,000 require appraisals, though certain transactions — listed in Appendix A to the guidelines — are exempt. In addition to the exclusion for transactions at or below the $250,000 threshold, exceptions include:

• Business loans secured by real estate for less than $500,000 (the $500,000 limit for commercial loans took effect on April 9, 2018) whose source of repayment is from other than the rental income or sale of the real estate,
• Extensions of existing credits,
• Loans not secured by real estate, and
• Transactions guaranteed or insured by the U.S. government.

The exemptions are limited, so be sure to scrutinize transactions to determine whether risk factors or other circumstances make an appraisal necessary. Some exempt transactions require a less formal evaluation.

Is your program independent?

Your institution is responsible for developing an effective collateral valuation program. First, consider the independence of your program, which should be isolated from influence by your loan production staff. Individuals who order, review and accept appraisals or evaluations should have reporting lines independent of the production staff as well. Appraisers and individuals performing evaluations (“evaluators”) need to be independent of loan production and loan collection and obviously should have no interest in the transaction or property.
Special rules apply to smaller institutions that lack the staff needed to separate their collateral valuation programs from the production process. For mortgages and other loans secured by a principal dwelling, review amendments to Regulation Z that impose strict independence and conflict-of-interest requirements on appraisers.

What are the selection criteria for valuators?

Next consider how you select valuators. Set criteria for selecting, evaluating and monitoring appraisers and evaluators, and for documenting their credentials. Among other things, ensure that those selected are qualified, competent and independent and that appraisers hold appropriate state certifications or licenses.
Select and engage appraisers directly (though appraisals prepared for other institutions may be used if specific rigorous requirements are met). Approved appraiser lists are permitted, provided you establish safeguards to ensure that list members continue to be qualified, competent and independent.

What are the minimum appraisal standards?

Then make sure that your appraisals conform to the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice, although safe and sound banking practices may call for stricter standards. Written reports should provide sufficient detail — according to the transaction’s risk, size and complexity — to support the credit decision.

Appraisers should analyze appropriate deductions and discounts (detailed in Appendix C of the guidelines) for proposed construction or renovation, partially leased buildings, non-market lease terms and tract developments with unsold units.

What are some other factors?

In addition to these touchstones, your program should facilitate credit decisions by ensuring the timely receipt and review of appraisal or evaluation reports. It also should provide criteria for determining whether existing appraisals or evaluations may be used to support subsequent transactions.

Moreover, your valuation program should have in place internal controls that promote compliance. And it should contain standards for monitoring collateral values and for handling transactions not otherwise covered by appraisal regulations.

If you outsource valuation functions, your institution remains responsible for all appraisals and evaluations. The interagency guidelines discuss the resources, expertise, controls and due diligence procedures your institution needs to identify, monitor and manage risks associated with these outsourcing arrangements.

Is it working?

The only way to ensure that your real estate collateral is sound is to set up an effective, efficient and comprehensive program. You’ll also need to review it regularly and adjust as needed to keep it on the right track.

FinCEN creates exception to Beneficial Ownership Rule

As part of its efforts to combat money laundering and other fraudulent activity, the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) issued its Beneficial Ownership Rule, effective for new accounts opened on or after May 11, 2018. The rule requires banks, as part of their customer identification programs, to verify the identity of the beneficial owners of certain legal entities. Beneficial owners include individuals who, directly or indirectly, own 25% or more of an entity, as well as any individual who has “significant responsibility to control, manage or direct the legal entity.”

In a September 7, 2018, ruling, FinCEN created an exception to the beneficial ownership rule for legal entities that open new accounts on or after the effective date as a result of:

• Rolling over a certificate of deposit,
• Renewing, modifying or extending a loan, commercial line of credit or credit card account that doesn’t require underwriting review and approval, or
• Renewing a safe deposit box rental.

The exception applies only to rollovers, renewals, modifications or extensions of the above product types that take place on or after May 11, 2018. It doesn’t apply to the initial opening of such accounts.

Banks considering use of alternative credit data

Some lenders are considering the use of alternative data to expand access to credit for people with thin credit histories or negative items on their credit reports. By developing innovative techniques for analyzing a borrower’s ability to repay, lenders can expand their pools of potential borrowers beyond those identified by traditional techniques.

Alternative data refers to information that may be used to evaluate creditworthiness but is not traditionally part of a credit report. Examples include rent payments, mobile phone payments, cable TV payments, and bank account information. This may also include education, occupation and even social media activities.

It may take some time before alternative data techniques catch on among community banks. In 2017, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) released a “Request for Information” seeking information about alternative data and the modeling techniques used to analyze them. You can find the document, which discusses the benefits and risks associated with alternative data, at https://www.consumerfinance.gov/policy-compliance/notice-opportunities-comment/archive-closed/request-information-regarding-use-alternative-data-and-modeling-techniques-credit-process.

Supervisory guidance isn’t the law

In a recent joint statement, the federal banking agencies clarified that supervisory guidance “does not have the force and effect of law.” Among other things, the agencies intend to limit the use of numerical thresholds or other “bright lines” in describing expectations, and examiners won’t criticize banks for “violations” of supervisory guidance.

Every banker knows the importance of due diligence in determining whether to make a loan. But it’s easy to backslide and rely on just a few superficial financial markers that may, or may not, indicate creditworthiness. Here’s a reminder of some due diligence steps to take to help you dig deeper and ensure your bank’s loan portfolio is more secure.

Assessing risk from many angles

Start the due diligence process as an auditor would. That is, before you open a borrower’s financial statements, consider documenting the risks in the borrower’s industry, applicable economic conditions, sources of collateral and the borrower’s business operations.

This risk assessment identifies what’s most relevant and where your greatest exposure lies, what trends you expect in this year’s financials, and which bank products the customer might need. Risk assessments save time because you’re targeting due diligence on what matters most.

Evaluating reliability

Now tackle the financial statements, keeping in mind your risk assessment. First evaluate the reliability of the financial information. If it’s prepared by an in-house bookkeeper or accountant, consider his or her skill level and whether the statements conform to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. If statements are CPA-prepared, consider the level of assurance: compilation, review or audit.

Comprehensive statements include a balance sheet, income statement, statement of cash flows and footnote disclosures. Make sure the balance sheet “balances” — that is, assets equal liabilities plus equity. You’d be surprised how often internally prepared financial statements are out of balance.

Statements that compare two (or more) years of financial performance are ideal. If they’re not comparative, pull out last year’s statements. Then, note any major swings in assets, liabilities or capital. Better yet, enter the data into a spreadsheet and highlight changes greater than 10% and $10,000 (a common materiality rule of thumb accountants use for private firms). You should also highlight changes that failed to meet the trends you identified in your risk assessment. For example, you expected something to change more than 10% but it did not.

Now ask yourself whether these changes make sense based on your preliminary risk assessment. Brainstorm possible explanations before asking the borrower. This allows you to apply professional skepticism when you hear borrowers’ explanations.

Keeping score

Use your risk assessment to create a scorecard for each borrower. It often helps to discuss your risk assessment with co-workers and to specialize in an industry niche.

One ratio that belongs on every scorecard is profit margin (net income / sales). Every lender wants to know whether borrowers are making money. But a profitability analysis shouldn’t stop at the top and bottom of the income statement. It’s useful to look at individual line items, such as returns, rent, payroll, owners’ compensation, travel and entertainment, interest and depreciation expense. This data can provide reams of information on your client’s financial health.

Other useful metrics include current ratio (current assets / current liabilities), which measures short-term liquidity or whether a company’s current assets (including cash, receivables and inventory) are sufficient to cover its current obligations (accrued expenses, payables, current debt maturities). High liquidity provides breathing room in volatile markets.

In addition, total asset turnover (sales / total assets) is an efficiency metric that tells how many dollars in sales a borrower generates from each dollar invested in assets. Again, more in-depth analysis — for example, receivables aging or inventory turnover — is necessary to better understand potential weaknesses and risks.

Finally, calculating the interest coverage ratio (earnings before interest and taxes / interest expense) provides a snapshot of a company’s ability to pay interest charges. The higher a borrower’s interest coverage ratio is, the better positioned it is to weather financial storms.

When applying these metrics, compare a company to itself over time and benchmark it against competitors, if possible. If customers’ explanations don’t make sense, consider recommending that they hire a CPA to perform an agreed-upon-procedures engagement, targeting specific high-risk areas.

Keeping aware of risk and reward

A healthy loan portfolio carries with it a certain amount of uncertainty. But, to minimize the potential for problems down the line, that uncertainty needs to be quantified, documented and analyzed. Taking these due diligence steps can help make your loans rewarding, rather than risky.

Do you need a bank holding company?

For years, the vast majority of U.S. banks have used a bank holding company (BHC) structure. Recently, however, several prominent regional banks have elected to shed their BHCs by merging them into their subsidiary banks. This development has many community banks wondering whether the BHC model has become obsolete.

Pros and cons

The answer to this question: It depends (big surprise). Some banks may find that eliminating the BHC structure simplifies financial reporting, streamlines regulatory oversight and reduces administrative expenses. Others — particularly those that qualify as “small bank holding companies” — may find that the benefits of the BHC structure outweigh its costs.

It’s important to keep in mind that recent legislation expanded the definition of small BHC to include those with consolidated total assets of $3 billion or less (up from $1 billion). (See “Advantages of small BHC status.”) Here are some of the possible reasons for eliminating a holding company, along with a review of the continued benefits of the BHC structure.

Reasons for discarding your BHC

Potential advantages of eliminating a BHC include the following:

Reduced regulatory oversight. Banks without a holding company are no longer supervised by the Federal Reserve (the Fed) — except for Fed member banks. This can reduce compliance costs. The Fed strives to rely on an organization’s primary regulator and scales its supervisory approach depending on that organization’s complexity, risk and condition. So the cost savings from reduced regulatory oversight will likely be insubstantial for smaller organizations.

Lower administrative costs. Eliminating the BHC simplifies financial reporting and reduces costs associated with maintaining separate legal entities. These costs include additional taxes, fees, and accounting expenses; dual boards; and duplicative policies and procedures.

No need to deal with the SEC. Some BHCs must report to the SEC, but banks are generally exempt from the SEC’s registration and reporting requirements. However, it’s important to note that, in the absence of a BHC, some securities-related reporting requirements will shift to the bank’s primary regulator.

Benefits of BHC structure

Although the Dodd-Frank Act eliminated some earlier advantages of BHCs, most notably the inclusion of trust-preferred securities in Tier 1 capital, the BHC model continues to provide significant benefits for many banks, including:

Liquidity. BHCs have greater flexibility to repurchase stock. The ability of banks to create a market for their own stock is limited by state and federal law, and reducing capital usually requires prior approval.

M&A flexibility. BHCs (particularly small BHCs) have significant flexibility in structuring and financing M&A transactions. Plus, they can maintain acquired banks as separate institutions, allowing them to be integrated more deliberately with other subsidiary banks.

Increased permissible activities. BHCs may engage in specific business and investment activities that are off limits to banks. For example, a BHC may invest in up to 5% of any entity’s voting securities without prior regulatory approval.

Purchasing problem assets. BHCs can purchase problem assets from their subsidiary banks, helping them improve their capital ratios and otherwise strengthen their financial performance.

Dividend flexibility. BHCs have more flexibility than banks in paying dividends.

Leveraging debt. Small BHCs have the ability to use debt to raise capital for their subsidiary banks. (See “Advantages of small BHC status.”)

Long-term needs

If you’re considering eliminating your BHC, be sure to carefully weigh the potential cost-savings and other benefits compared with the benefits of maintaining the BHC structure. This is especially necessary if your organization has total consolidated assets of $3 billion or less. Also consider the costs and administrative burdens of merging your BHC into its subsidiary bank, including shareholder and regulatory approval, modification of contracts and policies, and advisory fees.

Even if you conclude the pros of eliminating the BHC outweigh the cons, evaluate your bank’s long-term needs. If there’s a possibility that a BHC structure will become advantageous down the road, it may be wise to retain it. Creating a new BHC when a need arises in the future may be difficult — if not impossible — and costly.

 

Sidebar: Advantages of small BHC status

Banks whose holding companies qualify as small bank holding companies (small BHCs) under the Fed’s small bank holding company policy statement enjoy significant advantages, especially when it comes to raising capital. And last year’s Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief and Consumer Protection Act expanded these advantages to a greater number of banks by raising the threshold for small BHC status from $1 billion to $3 billion in total consolidated assets.

Small BHCs can incur greater amounts of debt than other BHCs. Plus, they’re permitted to measure capital adequacy at the bank level only, without considering the BHC’s consolidated capital. This allows the BHC to borrow money — using virtually any type of debt instrument — and “downstream” the proceeds to a subsidiary bank in the form of capital.

Greater access to debt also gives small BHCs greater flexibility in structuring and financing M&A transactions.

5 Tips for Boosting Core Deposits

As interest rates continue to rise, competition among banks for core deposits is heating up. This creates a challenge for community banks striving to grow their core deposits to fund lending activities. On the one hand, banks need to consider paying higher rates to attract deposits. On the other hand, increasing the cost of deposits cuts into their profit margins.

Take the right steps

Here are five tips for attracting core deposits while keeping costs under control:

1. Avoid short-term fixes. It’s important to recognize that building core deposits is a long-term strategy — there are no quick fixes. Offering above-market interest rates, for example, may attract new customers in the short term, but it’s unlikely to support sustainable deposit growth. That’s because customers who’re attracted to higher rates are more likely to abandon you when a better rate comes along. In the long run, it’s better to focus on customers who value service over interest rates.
2. Don’t underestimate the importance of branches. A recent J.D. Power banking satisfaction study offers insights into the value of branches. According to the study, although 28% of retail bank customers are now digital-only, they are among the least satisfied. The most satisfied customers are “branch-dependent digital customers” — those who take advantage of online or mobile banking but also visit a branch two or more times during a three-month period.

Interestingly, the satisfaction gap between branch-dependent customers and more “digital-centric” customers was most pronounced among Millennials and Generation Xers. This is a bit surprising, since it’s commonly thought that younger customers eschew branches. It’s still the case that the majority of customers, including younger generations, prefer to open accounts at a branch — with personalized guidance — because they find it confusing to do online.

3. Focus on service. According to J.D. Power, weaker performance in the areas of communication and advice, new account openings, and products and fees caused lower satisfaction levels among digital-only customers. To attract and retain engaged customers and grow core deposits, banks need to improve communications and provide quality, personalized advice and other services consistently. And it’s key to make these strides across both digital and branch channels.
4. Specialize. Community banks that specialize in particular industries or types of banking are often able to attract customers who value specialized services over interest rates. The right niche — whether it’s health care, professional services firms, hospitality, agriculture or some other industry — depends on the bank’s history and the needs of the community.
5. Consider reciprocal deposits. A provision of the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief and Consumer Protection Act of 2018 creates an opportunity for community banks to boost deposits by taking advantage of reciprocal deposits. These are deposits a bank receives through a deposit placement network in exchange for placing matching deposits at other banks in the network. One advantage of these networks is that they enable banks to attract large-dollar, stable, local depositors by offering them insured deposits beyond the $250,000 FDIC threshold. (Insurance coverage is increased by spreading deposits among several network banks.)

The act made it easier for banks to take advantage of reciprocal deposits by providing that these deposits (up to the lesser of 20% of total liabilities or $5 billion) won’t be considered “brokered deposits” if specific requirements are met. Brokered deposits are subject to a variety of rules and restrictions that make them more costly than traditional core deposits.

Develop a strategy

These days, it’s easy for customers to switch banks to obtain a higher interest rate. The key to attracting and retaining stable core deposits is to have a strategy for providing value (apart from interest) that makes customers want to stick around.

Like many businesses, yours may allow retirement plan participants to take out loans from their accounts. Such loans are governed by many IRS and Department of Labor (DOL) rules and regulations. So if your company offers plan loans, your plan document must comply with current laws — including setting a “reasonable” interest rate.

Agency perspectives

Neither the IRS nor DOL provides a set percentage for plan sponsors to use. Yet both require the rate to be “reasonable.” The IRS asks if the interest rate is similar to local interest rates and to what local banks charge individuals for similar loans with similar credit and collateral. Meanwhile, DOL regulations say that an interest rate is reasonable if it’s equal to commercial lending interest rates under similar circumstances.

The DOL provides several examples of how to determine the interest rate. For example, suppose the plan loan interest rate is set at 8%, but local banks offer between 10% and 12% for similar circumstances. In this example, the loan will fail to meet the reasonable standard.

Keep in mind that the plan participant pays the interest to his or her own retirement plan account. That’s one reason why charging an interest rate that’s lower than what local banks are charging isn’t considered reasonable. The purpose of charging interest on retirement plan loans is to help prevent long-term harm to the participant’s retirement nest egg.

Ill consequences

If your plan fails to assess a reasonable interest rate, participant loans may result in a prohibited transaction. What does this mean? Prohibited transactions are certain transactions between a retirement plan and a disqualified person. Disqualified persons taking part in a prohibited transaction must pay a tax.

A prohibited transaction includes the lending of money or other extension of credit between a plan and a disqualified person. However, the laws specifically exempt plan loans from the prohibited transaction list as long as they comply with applicable rules. If your interest rate isn’t reasonable, the plan loan may lose its exempt status and become subject to the prohibited transaction tax.

Ongoing task

Ensuring you’re offering a reasonable plan loan interest rate is an ongoing task. Review your plan document and loan policy statement to determine whether the plan sets an interest rate. You may need to update the document to comply with the more recent regulations and interest rates. We can help you with this review, as well as in calculating a reasonable rate.

Abstract:   This issue’s “Bank Wire” reports on the DOL’s new overtime requirements, which increase the salary level threshold for white-collar exempt employees and are expected to yield a large impact on financial institutions. It also discusses the FFIEC’s new cybersecurity guidance, which urges financial institutions to review their risk-management practices and controls for IT systems and wholesale payment networks, and recommends using multiple-layered security controls.

Bank Wire

Are you ready for the new DOL overtime rule?

New overtime requirements are expected to yield a large impact on financial institutions. The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) recently finalized its overtime rule, doubling the salary threshold for exempt employees.

The final rule increases the salary level threshold for white-collar exempt employees from $455 to $913 per week, or $23,660 to $47,476 per year, starting December 1. Any employee making less than those amounts will likely be required to be paid overtime compensation.

The new rule also hikes the salary threshold for highly compensated employees (HCEs) from $100,000 per year to $134,004 per year. HCEs must receive at least the full standard salary amount — or $913 — per week on a salary or fee basis without regard to the payment of nondiscretionary bonuses and incentive payments. But such payments will count toward the total annual compensation requirement. The standard salary and HCE annual compensation levels will automatically update every three years.

Once the rule takes effect, employers will have several options for dealing with exempt employees who’re reclassified as nonexempt: 1) Raise their salaries above the new threshold, 2) pay them time-and-a-half for overtime, 3) limit them to 40 hours per week, or 4) some combination of the above.

Between now and December 1, assess the impact of the new rule on your workers and develop a plan for implementing it. Some questions to ask:

• What are the relative costs of increasing salaries to the new threshold vs. paying time-and-a-half for overtime?
• How will the rule affect employee morale? Will employees view loss of exempt status as a demotion?
• How will you deal with job titles in which some employees are exempt and some aren’t?
• How will the rule affect compensation arrangements that provide for a modest base salary but a generous bonus potential?

FFIEC issues new cybersecurity guidance

Financial institutions need to actively manage the risks associated with interbank messaging and wholesale payment networks. So warns a recent statement from the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC), which reports that recent cyberattacks have targeted these banking functions. By attempting to originate unauthorized transactions, cybercriminals have shown a capability for compromising a financial institution’s wholesale payment networks and bypassing information security controls, the agency says.

The FFIEC urges financial institutions to review their risk-management practices and controls for information technology systems and wholesale payment networks. It also recommends using multiple-layered security controls to set up several lines of defense.

Abstract:   Most bankers on the business-lending side of operations have a constant stream of customer financial statements passing over their desk (virtual or otherwise) for an evaluation of the borrowers’ creditworthiness. Thus, bankers need to possess enough knowledge about different types of business structures to shine the right spotlight on diverse financial statements. This article discusses the similarities between, and differences of, C corporation and S corporation financial statements.

 

Do you “speak” both S corporation and C corporation?

 

You likely have a constant stream of customer financial statements passing over your desk (virtual or otherwise) for an evaluation of the borrowers’ creditworthiness. But do you possess enough knowledge about different types of business structures to shine the right spotlight on their diverse financial statements?

Both “languages” have similarities

Both S and C corporations maintain books, records and bank accounts separately from those of their owners and follow state rules about annual directors’ meetings, fees and administrative filings. And both must pay and withhold payroll taxes for working owners in the business.

At first glance, it may be hard to tell which borrowers have elected S status. But there are a few telltale signs. Importantly, S corporations don’t incur corporate-level tax, so they can forgo reporting federal (and possibly state) income tax expense on their income statements. Also, S corporations generally don’t report prepaid income taxes, income taxes payable, or deferred income tax assets and liabilities on their balance sheets. Instead, S corporation owners pay tax at the personal level on their share of the corporation’s income and gains.

The reporting of dividends vs. distributions

Other financial reporting differences are more subtle. For instance, when C corporations pay dividends, they’re taxed twice: They pay tax at the corporate level when the company files its annual tax return, and the individual owners pay again when dividends and liquidation proceeds are taxed at the personal level.

When S corporations pay distributions — the name for dividends paid by S corporations — the payout is generally not subject to personal-level tax as long as the shares have positive tax “basis.” (S corporation basis is typically a function of capital contributions, earnings and distributions.)

So, in the equity section of an S corporation’s balance sheet, there may be a sizable negative line item for shareholder distributions. In fact, S corporation distributions are far more common than dividends for privately held C corporations.

There are two reasons for this: S corporation distributions aren’t subject to double taxation, so there’s no tax penalty for making distributions. And S corporations often distribute cash to owners to cover the owners’ shares of the personal income taxes attributable to the company’s income (although they’re not required to do so).

To further complicate matters, S corporations may use different strategies from year to year to extract cash from the business. For example, the owners might use shareholder loans in year 1, pay higher bonuses in year 2, and take quarterly distributions in year 3. Such variety makes it difficult for lenders to compare an S corporation’s performance over time — or to that of borrowers that operate as C corporations.

Owner motivation varies when setting salaries

C corporations may be tempted to pay owners above-market salaries to get cash out of the business and avoid the double taxation that comes with dividends. Conversely, S corporations tend to do the reverse: They may try to maximize tax-free distributions and pay owners below-market salaries to minimize payroll taxes.

The IRS is on the lookout for corporations that compensate owners too much (or too little) for their day-to-day contributions. Regardless of entity type, an owner’s compensation should be commensurate with his or her skills, experience and involvement in the business.

If the IRS audits an owner’s compensation, it might impair the borrower’s ability to service debt. For example, to the extent that an S corporation shareholder’s compensation doesn’t reflect the market value of the services he or she provides, the IRS may reclassify a portion of earnings as unpaid wages. Then the company will owe additional employment tax, interest and penalties on the reclassified wages.

Understanding the ins and outs

Both S and C corporation business structures offer certain advantages and shortcomings for their owners. It’s your job to make sure you know the nuances of both entity types before you give their loan requests your stamp of approval.
