CapitalStream

Commercial banks have traditionally used a wide range of disparate systems and manual processes to originate loans and leases, manage relationships and monitor accounts. As a result, processing is slow, errors are frequent, operations are inefficient, growth is limited and information is inaccessible. Does this describe your operation? Are you able to respond quickly with outstanding service to grow your portfolio while still managing risk and controlling costs? Is your operation competitive?

Straight Through Processing Platform for Lending and Leasing

CapitalStream^TM is an integrated software platform enabling commercial banks and finance companies to implement Straight Through Processing (STP) across lending and leasing portfolios. CapitalStream transforms manual paper-based operations into streamlined automated enterprises that respond quickly, efficiently and consistently. CapitalStream is part of HCL’s growing portfolio of integrated software products that provide financial institutions end-to-end solutions that are proven, low cost and quick to implement.

Reduce Cost, Risk and Processing Time While Growing the Portfolio

CapitalStream streamlines sales, origination, credit, decisioning, documentation, closing, funding, booking, account monitoring and ongoing risk management to revolutionize how banks develop and manage lending relationships. The complete STP platform automates workflow using proven best practices based on implementations at world class financial institutions that ensure success and minimize implementation time.

Highlights of CapitalStream capabilities include:

• Origination - Enter and maintain terms and conditions, borrower, relationship, security and collateral information for simple to complex deal structures
• Credit / Underwriting - Automatically retrieve and store all credit information and manage sophisticated underwriting processes that integrate scoring with automated review and approval routing
• Documentation - Electronically generate, revise, store and deliver contracts and other documents tracking all revisions to close deals more efficiently and consistently
