Forecasting and Scenario Modeling
Next Level Financial Planning
Calculate cash flow projections at the record level, aggregating them into planning portfolios to improve accuracy in net interest margin planning and provide better focus on incremental new business. Our cash flow planning software enables data analytics, enhances data visibility, and allows you to build a cash flow forecasting model into the standard budgeting process. View loans and deposit records in portfolios—including those set to mature and reprice.
Better Predict Your Net Interest Margin
Use your interest rate forecast, runoff of existing balances and rates, impact of new originations, and optional funds transfer pricing (FTP) rates to generate your cash flow forecast, more accurately predicting projected balances, yields, and FTP spread (if used) to inform a cash flow-based budget.
Improve Scope And Accuracy
Process fixed, adjustable, and variable records across all instrument types in our cash flow engine, adding prepayment assumptions so your future cash flows reflect a more realistic view of customer/member behavior.
Stay Nimble with What-if Scenarios
Anticipate potential market conditions by modeling “what-if” scenarios, and be ready to adjust your risk-adjusted cash flow plan and projections to reflect changes in product mix, pricing, spread and more.
