Action and WTD/TUD Code Streamlining Project D M A I C DAI/ DMAIC – Used “Quick Hit” Approach • Define – Problem Statement, Customer, Process Mapping • Measure – Why? (poll of Branch Ops, QAC), How? - Internal Audits, QAC Review, Regulatory Exams • Analysis – Data, Process, Root Cause, Identify Opportunities • Improve – Identify Solutions, Implement Solutions • Control - Monitoring
Action and WTD/TUD Code Streamlining Project D M A I C Define - Problem Statement • Internal Audits have disclosed randomness in selection of denial reasons, selection of TUD vs. WTD codes, and inappropriate use of TUD 999 • State Regulatory Examinations have disclosed inappropriate adverse action reasons, inaccurate selection of action code, and applications lacking appropriate disclosures • Analysis by Marketing and Credit Risk cannot be performed with confidence due to inaccurate selection and non-uniform definitions of WTD and TUD codes
Action and WTD/TUD Code Streamlining Project D M A I C Define - Business Case Why the change now? • Changes in regulatory oversight from State only to State and multiple Federal agencies • Increased scrutiny of HMDA data • Inclusion of HBIO entities in Bank’s CRA examination • Enhance conversion management initiative with more precise and accurate data • CVP – Customer is entitled to accurate information
Action and WTD/TUD Code Streamlining Project D M A I C Define - Business Case Risks? • Reputation • Increased regulatory scrutiny • Potential impact on ability to merge, acquire or apply for a charter • Inability to make informed business decisions • CVP – customer can’t correct credit problems if adverse action reasons aren’t accurate
Action and WTD/TUD Code Streamlining Project D M A I C Measure – Abbreviated Process • Internal Audit Findings (Top 5 Internal Audit Issue) • Data Collection related to usage of WTD/TUD Codes Key Insight : TUD 999 (14,192); WTD # (136,690) • Branch Calls • Multiple credible sources have identified issues • Samples sufficient to draw preliminary conclusions
Action and WTD/TUD Code Streamlining Project D M A I C Analyze – Action Code: Today’s Process Vision Categories Mapping Regulatory Categories Originated Originated WTD Denied (All except WTD “3”) Closed for Incompleteness (WTD “3”) TUD Approved, Not Accepted (All TUDs (except J and 999) with an “Approval Amount”) Withdrawn (All TUDs (except J and 999) without an “Approval Amount”) Voided (J and 999) – not recorded in HMDA, no adverse action notice, no RESPA’s if app’ed and TUD same day
Action and WTD/TUD Code Streamlining Project D M A I C Analyze - Root Causes for Improper Action Code Selection • Limited guidance in Policies and Procedures manuals • Action codes/descriptions are different from industry standards and regulatory guidelines • By choosing the TUD option, the customer won’t receive an adverse action letter • Consequences of improper use of TUD 999 and J have not been communicated Risks: Compliance with HMDA (Regulation C), ECOA (Regulation B), RESPA (HUD Regulation X), FCRA (Regulation V)
Action and WTD/TUD Code Streamlining Project D M A I C Analyze – Denial Code: Today’s Process Denial Code Usage – 1Q 2005 Note: Includes both secured and unsecured.
Action and WTD/TUD Code Streamlining Project D M A I C Analyze – Denial Code: Today’s Process • Only two flavors of action • Blue box allows user to input code directly, rather than choosing from pick list • Pick list only shows seven options at one time and reasons aren’t in any logical order
Action and WTD/TUD Code Streamlining Project D M A I C Analyze - Root Causes for Improper Denial Code (WTD) Selection • Takes too long to pick denial reasons • Denial reasons are vague – no clear definition • Pick-list only shows seven reasons at a time • Pick-list is not in logical order • Vision allows user to enter denial code rather than picking the full description • Denial codes can be entered directly into CII, circumventing controls in Vision • No procedures for choosing denial reasons
Action and WTD/TUD Code Streamlining Project D M A I C Analyze – Withdrawal Code: Today’s Process
Action and WTD/TUD Code Streamlining Project D M A I C Analyze – Withdrawal Code: Today’s Process • Only two flavors of action • Blue box allows user to input code directly, rather than choosing from pick list • Pick list only shows seven options at one time and aren’t in any logical order
Action and WTD/TUD Code Streamlining Project D M A I C Analyze - Root Causes for Improper Withdrawal (TUD) Code Selection • Codes are poorly defined • Consequences of improper use of TUD 999 and J have not been communicated
Action and WTD/TUD Code Streamlining Project D M A I C Improve – Process Improvement Strategy Proposed Strategy: • Short Term Solutions • Long Term Solutions • Next Steps
Action and WTD/TUD Code Streamlining Project D M A I C Improve - Strategy: Short Term Solutions • Enhanced policy • Enhanced procedures • Training & Communication • Definitions of existing denial reasons (WTD) • Definitions of existing withdrawal reasons (TUD)
Action and WTD/TUD Code Streamlining Project D M A I C Strategy: Long Term Solutions • Modifications to Vision “Action Taken” code screen expanding categories to conform to regulation • Denials (WTD): • Bucketing denial reasons • Present only top three Bureau decline reasons in “Credit” bucket • Replace scrolling pick-list with check boxes • Fit potential denial reasons on one Vision screen • Rationalize denial reasons for “Credit” to better reflect scorecard variables • Develop functionality to update of denial reasons without a Vision release • Pre-populate or hard-code denial reasons chosen by underwriting • Credit Risk to “own” maintenance of denial reason list
Action and WTD/TUD Code Streamlining Project D M A I C Strategy: Long Term Solutions • Withdrawals (TUD): • Bucketing withdrawal reasons • Replace scrolling pick-list with check boxes • Fit potential withdrawal reasons on one Vision screen • Develop functionality to update of withdrawal reasons without a Vision release • Marketing to “own” maintenance of withdrawal reason list • Approved, not accepted – same as withdrawals
