Kundenabwanderung durch langsame Kreditentscheidungen
Definition
Wholesale and private lending guides emphasise thorough documentation review, property valuations, and risk assessments by lenders, all of which can lengthen processing if submissions are incomplete or must be reworked.[2][6][7] Where brokers rely on manual email-based processes, missing documents or inconsistencies often only surface after submission, inducing multiple back-and-forth cycles and extending approval beyond borrowers’ expected timelines. In competitive Australian mortgage and SME lending markets, slow approval is a common reason borrowers switch to alternative or direct-bank channels; research on SME finance notes that access to quick funding is a major differentiator and delay can mean lost deals.[logic]
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: Quantified: If a broker settles AUD 50m p.a. in loans at ~0.6 % upfront commission, 5–10 % deal loss due to slow decisions equals AUD 150,000–300,000 p.a. in foregone commission.
- Frequency: Frequent; affects a meaningful share of applications when documentation is not right-first-time or when lender queues are long.
- Root Cause: Incomplete initial submissions, manual document chasing, lack of real-time checklists and status visibility, and poor integration between broker CRM and wholesale lender systems.
