This endpoint can contain multiple brands owned by a particular banking group. Each brand can own multiple SME Unsecured Loan products.

Loan

This section covers SME Unsecured Loan attributes that will change only under rare circumstances (see CoreProduct section for additional attributes that will be updated regularly). 

The following information can be provided:-

  • Product Name i.e. the name marketed to the consumers.
  • Identification is the unique id created by the financial institution to internally define the product
  • Segment - allows specification of the type of product e.g. basic, regular, premium

MarketingState

Within our design, we have a concept of a "marketing state" for the product. This concept is required because for any "On Sale" SME Unsecured Loan product:-

  1. The loan may provide a different offering to the SME loan holder the longer that they hold the product - covered by StateTenureLength & StateTenurePeriod in the example below.
  2. The financial institution can change any of the Loan attributes that are marketed over time - covered by FirstMarketedDate and LastMarketedDate in the example below.

We'll illustrate this with the following example. 

CMA9Bank has an SME Unsecured Loan product that was first advertised and marketed on 1/1/2017 and has the following features currently:-

  1. If the accountholder takes the product, they are offered a promotional interest rate of 3% for 1st 9 months, then 5% for next 12 months and then it reverts back to the standard variable rate (e.g. 14.9%).
