A Short Banking, Mortgages & Credit Industry Glossary

and nonprofit organizations to defer taxes on a portion of their salaries by earmarking that portion for the retirement plan. See “401(k) Plan” for details.

10-K: An annual report filed by publicly held companies. It provides a comprehensive overview of the company's business and its finances. By law, it must contain specific information and follow a given form, the “Annual Report on Form 10-K.” The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission requires that it be filed within 90 days after fiscal year end. However, these reports are often filed late due to extenuating circumstances. Variations of a 10-K are often filed to indicate amendments and changes. Most publicly held companies also publish an “annual report” that is not on Form 10-K. These annual reports are more informal and are frequently used by a company to enhance its image with customers, investors and industry peers.

Acceleration Clause: A clause in a contract of debt, such as a mortgage, which causes the entire amount to become due upon the borrower's default.

12b-1 Fees: The percentage of a mutual fund’s assets used in the defraying of marketing and distribution costs. The fee amount is stated in the fund’s prospectus. Recently the SEC proposed that 12b1 fees over 0.25% be classed as a load. A true “no load” fund does not have a 12b-1 fee. 401(k) Plan: An employer-sponsored retirement plan that enables employees to defer taxes on a portion of their salaries by earmarking that portion for the retirement plan. In a typical plan, employees may deposit up to 15% of a year's salary. The employer then matches a portion of the employee's deposit. A common employer match equals one-half of an employee's deposits of up to 6% of salary. In other words, if an employee deposits 6% of a $30,000 salary ($1,800), the employer would match one-half of that $1,800 deposit ($900). The employee would then have $1,800 + $900 in the savings plan = $2,700. The account will grow on a tax-deferred basis until the employee begins drawing money at retirement. It is important to note that the provisions of these plans vary widely from one employer to the next. Some employers make no matching deposit. Some generous firms match 100% of qualified employee deposits. Not surprisingly, members of Congress have voted themselves one of the most generous savings plans in the nation, where the government matches 200% of their qualified deposits. 403(b) Plan: An employer-sponsored retirement plan that enables employees of universities, public schools

AD&D Insurance: Accidental death and dismemberment insurance. Adjustable-Rate Mortgage (ARM): A mortgage that changes interest rates periodically to match a specific index. Adviser: An organization employed by a mutual fund to give advice on the fund’s investments (also called the “investment adviser”). Alpha: A measure of the selection risk, or residual risk, of a mutual fund relative to the market. A positive alpha represents the extra return an investor receives for taking a risk rather than accepting the market return. In other words, it is the percentage by which a fund outperforms the market-based return estimate. Alt-A (Alternative Documentation Mortgage): An alternative method of documenting a loan file, often referred to as “alt doc” or “Alt-A,” that relies on unsubstantiated information provided by the borrower regarding personal income and assets, rather than positive proof such as income tax returns, W2 forms from employers, bank statements and investment account statements. American Depositary Receipts (ADRs): Certificates issued by a U.S. Depositary Bank to represent foreign shares held by a branch of the bank or a correspondent in the country. An ADR can stand for one share, part of a share or a bundle of shares of a foreign corporation. The same currency and political and economic risks of the underlying foreign share are associated with the ADR. Prices are kept essentially identical through arbitrage. Amortization: The process of fully paying off indebtedness by installments of principal and earned interest over a definite time. Amortization Schedule: A printed table showing the principal and interest payments and due dates of the payments owed on a mortgage or loan.


Amortization through Equal Monthly Payments: A repayment method in which the amount borrowed is repaid gradually through regular monthly payments of principal and interest. During the first few years, most of each payment is applied toward the interest owed. During the final years of the loan, payment amounts are applied almost exclusively to the remaining principal.


ASEAN: Association of Southeast Asian Nations. A regional economic development association established in 1967 by five original member countries: Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand. Brunei joined on 8 January 1984, Vietnam on 28 July 1995, Laos and Myanmar on 23 July 1997, and Cambodia on 30 April 1999. Asset Turnover: Net sales divided by total assets.

Annual Percentage Rate (APR): The cost of credit on a yearly basis expressed as a percentage. Annual Report: See “10-K (10K).”

Asset-backed Securities: Securities backed by notes or pools of assets like auto loans, student loans, credit cards, royalties, insurance and receivables.

Annuitant: An investor in an annuity who is entitled to periodic payments for life or for a specific number of years based on the balance in that annuity.

Assumable Mortgage (Assumable Loan): An existing mortgage that can be assumed by a future purchaser of a piece of real estate.

Annuity: A contract between an insurance company and an individual in which the company agrees to pay either fixed or variable income for a specified period of time. The payment from the company may be a one-time lump sum, or may consist of monthly payments for the life of the individual. The total amount of the payments will be based on the amount deposited in the annuity by the individual, plus the earnings on those deposits over the life of the contract. The investor may make deposits on a regular basis, such as monthly, or may make a large lump sum deposit when establishing the account. The account's earnings are income tax-deferred until the investor begins withdrawing money.

Auction Rate Security (Auction-Rate Security): An auction rate security is a debt instrument often issued by government agencies (such as port authorities or water districts), cities and hospital districts. Instead of carrying a fixed interest rate, the rate on the debt is reset on a continuing basis by auctioning off the debt to new owners every seven to 35 days.

Antitrust Legislation: A set of laws that foster a competitive environment preventing unreasonable restraint of trade or unfair trade practices such as price-fixing. In the United States, antitrust laws originated with the Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890. APAC: Asia Pacific Advisory Committee. A multicountry committee representing the Asia and Pacific region. Arbitrage: An attempt to profit from differences in the price of one security that is traded on multiple markets or in different forms. For example, index arbitrage is based on temporary discrepancies between the prices of stocks comprising an index, such as the Standard & Poor's 500 index, and the price of a futures contract on that index. By buying either the underlying stocks or the futures contract and selling the other, may be able to profit on the difference between the two.

Automated Clearinghouse (ACH): Electronic clearing and settlement system for exchanging electronic transactions among participating depository institutions; such electronic transactions are substitutes for paper checks and are typically used to make recurring payments such as payroll or loan payments. The Federal Reserve Banks operate an automated clearinghouse, as do some private-sector firms. Automated Teller Machines (ATM): Computercontrolled terminals located on the premises of financial institutions or elsewhere, through which customers may make deposits, withdrawals, or other transactions as they would through a bank teller. Other terms sometimes used to describe such terminals are customer-bank communications terminal (CBC) and remote service unit (RSU). Groups of banks sometimes share ATM networks located throughout a region of the country that may include portions of several states. Baby Boomer: Generally refers to people born in the U.S. and Western Europe from 1946 to 1964. In the U.S., the total number of Baby Boomers is about 78 million--one of the largest and most affluent


demographic groups. The term evolved to include the children of soldiers and war industry workers who were involved in World War II. When those veterans and workers returned to civilian life they started or added to families in large numbers. As a result, the baby boom generation is one of the largest demographic segments in the U.S. Some baby boomers have already started reaching early retirement age. By 2011, millions will begin turning traditional retirement age (65), resulting in extremely rapid growth in the senior portion of the population. Back-End Load: A sales charge applied when the investor exits a mutual fund. Back-End Ratio: See “Debt-to-Income Ratio (Mortgages).” Back-Office: Generally considered to include such areas as accounting, human resources, call centers, financial transaction processing. A back-office application is a software program designed to handle back-office tasks. Also, see “Business Process Outsourcing (BPO).” Balance of Payments: An accounting statement of the money value of international transactions between one nation and the rest of the world over a specific time period. The statement shows the sum of transactions of individuals, businesses, and government agencies located in one nation, against those of all other nations. Balance of Trade: That part of a nation's balance of payments dealing with imports and exports, that is trade in goods and services, over a given period. If exports of goods exceed imports, the trade balance is said to be 'favorable'; if imports exceed exports, the trade balance if said to be 'unfavorable.' Balloon Loan: A loan in which a large payment for the remaining balance is due at the end of the loan. Balloon Payment: The final principal payment due at the end of a balloon mortgage. Typically, lower monthly payments are provided for under a balloon mortgage, with a substantial final payment due later. Bank for International Settlements (BIS): Located in Basle, Switzerland, it was established in 1930 to administer the post-World War I reparations agreements. Since the 1960s, the BIS has evolved into an important international monetary institution,

(Homeowners' insurance will, however, cover damage to a house caused by a tree that fell in a windstorm.) The typical homeowners' policy includes theft coverage on personal property, whether it is at the home or has been carried away from the home by the owner, such as luggage on a vacation. Homeowners' insurance will also reimburse a policyholder for the cost of renting elsewhere while his or her house is being repaired after a fire or other disaster.

For the investor, this provides tremendous diversification and makes the value of the fund easy to follow and understand. If the S&P is up three points, so is a fund that invests only in that index. Also, see “Exchange Traded Fund (ETF).” Individual Retirement Account (IRA): An investor-established, tax-deferred account set up to hold funds until retirement.

Private Equity: Private equity is money invested in a business, in the form of stock and/or debt instruments such as bonds, that has been raised from private investors. It is the opposite of money that has been raised through public offerings, (including IPOs) of stocks or bonds. Investors in private equities generally seek to receive an eventual return on their investment through one of three ways: an initial public offering of stock in the business, a sale of the business, or a recapitalization of the business. Also, see “Private Equity Fund” and “Leveraged Buyout (LBO).” Private Equity Fund: A business that raises money from outside investors, such as wealthy individuals and pension plans, and invests the money into private equity investments. The total amount of money in one fund may be relatively small, but it can also run into billions of dollars, as many of today's private equity deals are massive. Private equity funds are managed by investment and finance professionals who take annual fees based on the total amount of money in the fund and the profits of the fund. Also, see “Private Equity.” Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI): Insurance paid on those loans that are not government-insured when the loan to value ratio is greater than 80%. When you have accumulated 20% of your home’s value as equity, your lender may waive PMI at your request. Note that such insurance does not constitute a form of life insurance that pays off the loan in case of death. Also see “MIP (Mortgage Insurance Premium).” Private-Label Store Credit Card System: A system in which credit cards have the store’s name on them, but the accounts receivable are sold to a financial institution. Product Liability: A section of tort law that determines who may sue and who may be sued for damages when a defective product injures someone.

Program Trading: Trades based on computer program signals, typically entered directly from a trader's computer to the market's system and automatically executed. Property & Casualty (P&C) Insurance: Insurance that covers damage to or loss of the policyholder’s property. The terms casualty and liability insurance often are used interchangeably; both cover the policyholder’s legal liability for damages caused to other persons and/or their property (i.e., damage to third parties, which is why casualty insurance is sometimes called third-party coverage). However, casualty insurance has a broader meaning than liability insurance, because it also encompasses plate glass, burglary, theft and workers’ compensation coverages. Property Insurance: Covers against losses caused by specified perils, including fire, windstorm, hail, explosion, riot, vandalism, malicious mischief, riot and civil commotion and smoke. Also see “Property & Casualty (P&C) Insurance.” Prospectus: The descriptive legal documents a mutual fund or a company selling its stocks or bonds must provide to potential investors. The content of a prospectus is regulated by, and must be approved by, the federal Securities and Exchange Commission, and by various state securities agencies in the states where the securities are to be offered. Proxy Statement: A document providing shareholders with necessary information for voting on matters to be raised at a stockholders' meeting. The document includes information on closely held shares. Shareholders often sign their proxy over to a firm's management, giving management the right and responsibility to vote their shares as laid out in the statement.


Purchasing Power Parity (PPP): Currency conversion rates that attempt to reflect the actual purchasing power of a currency in its home market, as opposed to examining price levels and comparing an exchange rate. PPPs are always given in the national currency units per U.S. dollar. Put Option: An option contract giving the holder the right to sell, and obligating the writer to purchase, a set number of shares of an underlying stock at the given strike price, on or by a set date. Quant: A person who practices quantitative finance. See “Quantitative Finance.” Quantitative Finance: A sophisticated method of valuing investments that relies heavily on advanced computer algorithms and automated analysis. Quantitative financial analysis may combine several disciplines at once, including statistics, higher mathematics, finance and computer science. The intended result is higher accuracy in valuing assets and forecasting trends. Quick Ratio: A measure of the financial strength of a company. The figure is determined by dividing current assets less inventories by current liabilities. Also known as “acid test.” Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT): Investments that work in a manner very similar to mutual funds in that money from several investors is pooled together to jointly own real estate and/or invest in mortgages. REITs are required to distribute almost all (90%) of their net income annually, directly to shareholders. Many REITs specialize in a specific kind of real estate, such as shopping centers or apartments. Investors generally buy shares in REITs with a twofold purpose: 1) to earn current income and 2) for long-term capital gains on appreciation in the value of the real estate. Real Estate Investment Trust Act of 1960: The federal law that established guidelines for establishing REITs.

Regulation Z: A federal rule that requires a lender to disclose the terms of a loan to the borrower. Reinsurance: Insurance purchased by an insurer. A reinsurer assumes part of the risk – and part of the premium–originally taken by the underwriter, which is called the primary company. Reinsurance effectively increases an insurance company’s capital and therefore its capacity to sell increased amounts of coverage. Reinsurers have their own reinsurers, called retrocessionaires. Some of the world’s biggest reinsurance companies are European and Asian firms. In addition, there are many reinsurance companies headquartered in Bermuda as well as a few in the U.S. The billions of dollars worth of risk assumed by primary insurance underwriters is spread across an international network of reinsurance and retrocession. Reinvestment: The process of using dividends from a stock or mutual fund to buy more shares of the same type. Required Reserve Balance: Portion of its required reserves that a depository institution must hold in an account at a Federal Reserve Bank.

This is practiced because it is often easier for a publicly-held firm to raise additional funding. Reverse Mortgage: Enables older homeowners (aged 62+) to convert part of the equity in their homes into tax-free income without having to sell the home, give up title, or take on a new monthly mortgage payment. The lender provides either a line of credit, steady monthly payments or one upfront payment to the borrower. In return, the lender receives a right to proceeds upon the eventual sale of the home, typically after the borrower's death. There are no monthly payments to be made by the borrower, and there are no income or health requirements. Sometimes called a reverse annuity mortgage or RAM. Revolving Line of Credit (RLOC): A loan agreement that enables the borrower to draw down funds as needed and repay the money when the funds are no longer required. RLOCs are often used by businesses to assist in meeting temporary cash needs due to seasonality of sales or periods when unusual outlays are required. Right of Rescission: The legal right to void or cancel a mortgage contract in such a way as to treat the contract as if it never existed. Right of rescission is not applicable to mortgages made to purchase a


home, but may be applicable to other mortgages, such as cash-out refinances. Risk Assessment: The evaluation of potential injury, harm or loss. The phrase frequently applies to the insurance industry and to environmental matters. Risk Management: Management of the varied risks to which a business firm or association might be subject. It involves analyzing all exposures to gauge the likelihood of loss and choosing among the options to minimize that loss. Many major companies have risk managers on their payrolls. These risk managers may evaluate insurance proposals from a variety of companies prior to choosing a policy and carrier. They may also choose to self-insure against certain losses. ROI: See “Return on Investment (ROI).”

Second mortgages involve more risks to the mortgage holder and generally are written at higher interest rates. It is also possible to create third or fourth mortgages, etc. Secondary Market: A market providing for securities to be bought or sold. This market is where the majority of trading occurs. The New York Stock Exchange, all other stock exchanges and the bond markets are secondary markets.

The intent of utilization review is to reduce the total cost of an illness. VA Mortgage: A mortgage that is guaranteed by the Veterans Administration, a Federal Government agency that provides benefits to U.S. veterans. VA mortgages tend to be made at below-market interest rates and may feature lower down payments or other benefits for the borrower.


Value Added Tax (VAT): A tax that imposes a levy on businesses at every stage of manufacturing based on the value it adds to a product. Each business in the supply chain pays its own VAT and is subsequently repaid by the next link down the chain; hence, a VAT is ultimately paid by the consumer, being the last link in the supply chain, making it comparable to a sales tax.

However, the investor assumes the market risk and often pays high management or sales fees. There are multiple styles of variable annuities that attempt to match the investor's age, financial circumstances and tolerance for risk.

However, the investor assumes the market risk and often pays high management or sales fees. Variable-Maturity Mortgage: A long-term loan where the due date of the final payment may be changed when the amount of earlier payments has been altered. Variable-Rate Mortgage: See “Adjustable-Rate Mortgage (ARM).” Velocity: The rate at which money balances turn over in a period for expenditures on goods and


services (often measured as the ratio of GNP--gross national product-- to the money stock). A larger velocity means that a given quantity of money is associated with a greater dollar volume of transactions. Venture Capital: An investment in a new business, usually with the understanding that the company will share future profits. Volatility: Fluctuation in value or price. An investment with high volatility may pose higher risk. Examples include newly issued stocks in IPOs (initial public offerings) and investments in commodities. Whole Life Insurance: The oldest kind of cash value life insurance, which combines protection against premature death with a savings account. Wire Transfer: An electronic transfer of funds from one bank account to another. The banks involved are identified by unique routing numbers so that the money can be sent to the correct place.

It pays for medical care and physical rehabilitation of injured workers and replaces their lost wages while they’re unable to work. World Trade Organization (WTO): One of the only globally active international organizations dealing with the trade rules between nations. Its goal is to assist the free flow of trade goods, ensuring a smooth, predictable supply of goods to help raise the quality of life of member citizens.

The WTO’s conflict resolution process generally emphasizes interpreting existing commitments and agreements, and discovers how to ensure trade policies to conform to those agreements, with the ultimate aim of avoiding military or political conflict. Wraparound Mortgage: A transaction whereby an old mortgage is included with a new loan. This is different from a second mortgage in that a second mortgage is legally subordinate to a first mortgage. The borrower makes payments on both loans to the holder of the wraparound.


WTO (World Trade Organization): See “World Trade Organization (WTO).” X9: A financial standards committee accredited by the American National Standards Institute. X9 develops and publishes voluntary financial industry payment standards for banks and other depository financial institutions. Yield: The percentage rate of return paid on a stock in dividends or the rate of interest paid on a bond or note. Yield Curve: The relationship between time to maturity of a debt instrument and current market interest yields. Yield to Maturity: A measure of the total return on a long-term bond.

This reference book is designed to be a general source for researchers. It is especially intended to assist with market research, strategic planning, employment searches, contact or prospect list creation (be sure to see the export capabilities of the accompanying CD-ROM that is available to book and eBook buyers) and financial research, and as a data resource for executives and students of all types. PLUNKETT'S BANKING, MORTGAGE & CREDIT INDUSTRY ALMANAC takes a rounded approach for the general reader. This book presents a complete overview of the banking and lending field (see “How To Use This Book”). For example, banking and mortgage statistics are provided in

exacting detail, along with easy-to-use charts and tables on all facets of banking and lending in general. THE BANKING & LENDING 300 is our unique grouping of the biggest, most successful corporations in all segments of the banking, mortgage and credit industry. These profiles include the world’s major banking organizations, as well as hundreds of important national and regional U.S. firms.

Whatever your purpose for researching the banking field, you’ll find this book to be a valuable guide. Nonetheless, as is true with all resources, this volume has limitations that the reader should be aware of: x

Financial data and other corporate information can change quickly. A book of this type can be no more current than the data that was available as of the time of editing. Consequently, the financial picture, management and ownership of the firm(s) you are studying may have changed since the date of this book. For example, this almanac includes the most up-to-date sales figures and profits available to the editors as of late-2008. That means that we have typically used corporate financial data as of the end of 2007.

x

Corporate mergers, acquisitions and downsizing are occurring at a very rapid rate. Such events may have created significant change, subsequent to the publishing of this book, within a company you are studying.

x

Some of the companies in THE BANKING & LENDING 300 are so large in scope and in variety of business endeavors conducted within a parent organization, that we have been unable to completely list all subsidiaries, affiliations, divisions and activities within a firm’s corporate structure.

x

This volume is intended to be a general guide to a vast industry. That means that researchers should

x

Tables of industry data and statistics used in this book include the latest numbers available at the time of printing, generally through the end of 2007. In a few cases, the only complete data available was for earlier years.

x

We have used exhaustive efforts to locate and fairly present accurate and complete data. However, when using this book or any other source for business and industry information, the reader should use caution and diligence by conducting further research where it seems appropriate. We wish you success in your endeavors, and we trust that your experience with this book will be both satisfactory and productive.

This figure represents consolidated, after-tax net profit from all operations. 2007 figures may be estimates or may be for only part of the year—partial year figures are appropriately footnoted. Stock Ticker, International Exchange, Parent Company: When available, the unique stock market symbol used to identify this firm’s common stock for


trading and tracking purposes is indicated. Where appropriate, this field may contain “private” or “subsidiary” rather than a ticker symbol. If the firm is a publicly-held company headquartered outside of the U.S., its international ticker and exchange are given. If the firm is a subsidiary, its parent company is listed. Total Number of Employees: The approximate total number of employees, worldwide, as of the end of 2007 (or the latest data available to the editors). Apparent Salaries/Benefits: (The following descriptions generally apply to U.S. employers only.) A “Y” in appropriate fields indicates “Yes.” Due to wide variations in the manner in which corporations report benefits to the U.S. Government’s regulatory bodies, not all plans will have been uncovered or correctly evaluated during our effort to research this data. Also, the availability to employees of such plans will vary according to the qualifications that employees must meet to become eligible. For example, some benefit plans may be available only to salaried workers—others only to employees who work more than 1,000 hours yearly. Benefits that are available to employees of the main or parent company may not be available to employees of the subsidiaries. In addition, employers frequently alter the nature and terms of plans offered. NOTE: Generally, employees covered by wealthbuilding benefit plans do not fully own (“vest in”) funds contributed on their behalf by the employer until as many as five years of service with that employer have passed. All pension plans are voluntary—that is, employers are not obligated to offer pensions. Pension Plan: The firm offers a pension plan to qualified employees. In this case, in order for a “Y” to appear, the editors believe that the employer offers a defined benefit or cash balance pension plan (see discussions below).The type and generosity of these plans vary widely from firm to firm. Caution: Some employers refer to plans as “pension” or “retirement” plans when they are actually 401(k) savings plans that require a contribution by the employee. x Defined Benefit Pension Plans: Pension plans that do not require a contribution from the employee are infrequently offered. However, a few companies, particularly larger employers in high-profit-margin industries, offer defined benefit pension plans where the employee is guaranteed to receive a set pension benefit upon retirement. The amount of the benefit is determined by the years of service with the


company and the employee’s salary during the later years of employment. The longer a person works for the employer, the higher the retirement benefit. These defined benefit plans are funded entirely by the employer. The benefits, up to a reasonable limit, are guaranteed by the Federal Government’s Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation. These plans are not portable—if you leave the company, you cannot transfer your benefits into a different plan. Instead, upon retirement you will receive the benefits that vested during your service with the company. If your employer offers a pension plan, it must give you a summary plan description within 90 days of the date you join the plan. You can also request a summary annual report of the plan, and once every 12 months you may request an individual benefit statement accounting of your interest in the plan. x Defined Contribution Plans: These are quite different. They do not guarantee a certain amount of pension benefit. Instead, they set out circumstances under which the employer will make a contribution to a plan on your behalf. The most common example is the 401(k) savings plan. Pension benefits are not guaranteed under these plans. x Cash Balance Pension Plans: These plans were recently invented. These are hybrid plans—part defined benefit and part defined contribution. Many employers have converted their older defined benefit plans into cash balance plans. The employer makes deposits (or credits a given amount of money) on the employee’s behalf, usually based on a percentage of pay. Employee accounts grow based on a predetermined interest benchmark, such as the interest rate on Treasury Bonds. There are some advantages to these plans, particularly for younger workers: a) The benefits, up to a reasonable limit, are guaranteed by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation. b) Benefits are portable—they can be moved to another plan when the employee changes companies. c) Younger workers and those who spend a shorter number of years with an employer may receive higher benefits than they would under a traditional defined benefit plan. ESOP Stock Plan (Employees’ Stock Ownership Plan): This type of plan is in wide use. Typically, the plan borrows money from a bank and uses those funds to purchase a large block of the corporation’s stock. The corporation makes contributions to the plan over a period of time, and the stock purchase


loan is eventually paid off. The value of the plan grows significantly as long as the market price of the stock holds up. Qualified employees are allocated a share of the plan based on their length of service and their level of salary. Under federal regulations, participants in ESOPs are allowed to diversify their account holdings in set percentages that rise as the employee ages and gains years of service with the company. In this manner, not all of the employee’s assets are tied up in the employer’s stock. Savings Plan, 401(k): Under this type of plan, employees make a tax-deferred deposit into an account. In the best plans, the company makes annual matching donations to the employees’ accounts, typically in some proportion to deposits made by the employees themselves. A good plan will match onehalf of employee deposits of up to 6% of wages. For example, an employee earning $30,000 yearly might deposit $1,800 (6%) into the plan. The company will match one-half of the employee’s deposit, or $900. The plan grows on a tax-deferred basis, similar to an IRA. A very generous plan will match 100% of employee deposits. However, some plans do not call for the employer to make a matching deposit at all. Other plans call for a matching contribution to be made at the discretion of the firm’s board of directors. Actual terms of these plans vary widely from firm to firm. Generally, these savings plans allow employees to deposit as much as 15% of salary into the plan on a tax-deferred basis. However, the portion that the company uses to calculate its matching deposit is generally limited to a maximum of 6%. Employees should take care to diversify the holdings in their 401(k) accounts, and most people should seek professional guidance or investment management for their accounts. Stock Purchase Plan: Qualified employees may purchase the company’s common stock at a price below its market value under a specific plan. Typically, the employee is limited to investing a small percentage of wages in this plan. The discount may range from 5 to 15%. Some of these plans allow for deposits to be made through regular monthly payroll deductions. However, new accounting rules for corporations, along with other factors, are leading many companies to curtail these plans—dropping the discount allowed, cutting the maximum yearly stock purchase or otherwise making the plans less generous or appealing. Profit Sharing: Qualified employees are awarded an annual amount equal to some portion of a company’s profits. In a very generous plan, the pool of money awarded to employees would be 15% of


profits. Typically, this money is deposited into a long-term retirement account. Caution: Some employers refer to plans as “profit sharing” when they are actually 401(k) savings plans. True profit sharing plans are rarely offered. Highest Executive Salary: The highest executive salary paid, typically a 2007 amount (or the latest year available to the editors) and typically paid to the Chief Executive Officer. Highest Executive Bonus: The apparent bonus, if any, paid to the above person. Second Highest Executive Salary: The nexthighest executive salary paid, typically a 2007 amount (or the latest year available to the editors) and typically paid to the President or Chief Operating Officer. Second Highest Executive Bonus: The apparent bonus, if any, paid to the above person. Other Thoughts: Apparent Women Officers or Directors: It is difficult to obtain this information on an exact basis, and employers generally do not disclose the data in a public way. However, we have indicated what our best efforts reveal to be the apparent number of women who either are in the posts of corporate officers or sit on the board of directors. There is a wide variance from company to company. Hot Spot for Advancement for Women/Minorities: A “Y” in appropriate fields indicates “Yes.” These are firms that appear either to have posted a substantial number of women and/or minorities to high posts or that appear to have a good record of going out of their way to recruit, train, promote and retain women or minorities. (See the Index of Hot Spots For Women and Minorities in the back of the book.) This information may change frequently and can be difficult to obtain and verify. Consequently, the reader should use caution and conduct further investigation where appropriate. Growth Plans/ Special Features: Listed here are observations regarding the firm’s strategy, hiring plans, plans for growth and product development, along with general information regarding a company’s business and prospects. Locations: A “Y” in the appropriate field indicates “Yes.” Primary locations outside of the headquarters, categorized by regions of the United States and by international locations.

Introduction to the Banking, Mortgages & Credit Industry The financial services industry (banking, lending, credit cards, investments and insurance) was suffering miserably on a global basis as 2008 wound to a close, in the midst of what will be remembered in business history books as the “Great Financial Crisis of 2008.” Hopefully, central banks of governments worldwide have acted aggressively enough and powerfully enough to keep the financial crisis of 2008 from evolving into a “great depression of 2009.” However, the turnaround of the world’s economy and a rebound of the banking and investment system will take a long and trying time.


How did this disaster occur? Multiple factors were involved, many of which began as long ago as 2001, including: x x x x x x

x

x

An era of loose lending rules for business loans. Incredibly easy credit for consumer loans, including mortgages, automobile loans and credit cards. Exceptionally low interest rates. A multi-year, worldwide economic boom that encouraged risk-taking by borrowers and lenders alike. A multi-year, worldwide jump in market prices for stocks, houses and commodities that further encouraged risk-taking and easy lending. Booming global markets for manufactured goods and for commodities such as oil created immense cash reserves in emerging nations, and much of those reserves were eagerly invested in debt instruments of all types, further fueling lending. Investors in debt-backed securities were lured into a false sense of security by overly optimistic ratings placed on those securities. Many of very highly rated mortgage packages turned out to be of little value. Meanwhile investors often thought their risks were well-covered by “credit default swaps (CDS),” a type of insurance that will pay off if a debtor defaults. However, the CDS are only as good as the finances of the company backing them. Investment banks, such as Lehman Brothers, were overextended, operating with very high leverage. Typically, they were holding assets of about 30 times their total level of capital. That means that they were borrowing heavily, at a rate of about $97 for every $3 of capital, and that a downward turn in asset values could quickly have devastating effects on their balance sheets.

Finally, in mid-2007, the bubble began to pop when a financial firm in Europe awoke to find that there was no longer an eager market for the mortgage-backed securities that it wanted to unload. The world of finance entered a downward spiral. It would be easy, but incomplete, to point the blame at the United States. America is an easy target for blame—as the world’s largest economy by far, America’s economic bust has affected lenders, businesses and investors on a worldwide basis. Of course, those lenders, businesses and investors also benefited broadly, and gleefully, from America’s tremendous boom from 2003 through most of 2007.


America’s soaring housing market and easy credit led to the creation of poorly-conceived mortgages and mortgage securities. Investors who bought them have suffered. However, eager lenders, rocketing house prices, easy mortgages, aggressive construction of houses and high consumer debt were found not only in America, but were also matched or even exceeded in nations like the U.K. and Spain, and in major cities in nations such as Australia and Canada. Housing markets, stock markets and risktaking rose to absurd levels in cities in Russia, China and India as well. The U.S. did have a unique impetus to its mortgage market: In recent years, Congress had unwisely pushed the mortgage industry, including government-sponsored mortgage banks Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, to make home ownership easier to attain for people of modest income. Banking has become a globalized industry in recent decades, in the same way that the automobile, pharmaceutical, technology, energy and consumer goods industries have globalized. The globalization of the banking industry was fueled by four factors: 1) the availability of global electronic networks for distribution of funds and real-time management information; 2) the easing of local regulations on ownership by foreign entities; 3) the opportunity to serve the needs of multinational corporations; and 4) the increasing attractiveness, from a banker’s point of view, of business assets and rising household wealth in emerging economies. New business opportunities were sought out globally by major banks, especially in such booming markets as China and India. U.S. and European banks particularly took ownership in Chinese banks. Elsewhere, Spanish banks acquired banking firms in South America, Mexico, Puerto Rico and the United States (particularly in Hispanic markets within the U.S.). German and Italian banks merged to form European banking giants. In Europe, major bank holding companies made significant acquisitions and cross-border investments while relying more and more on technology to make operations efficient. European Union regulations led to the cleaning up of balance sheets at Europe’s banks and the implementation of better accounting practices. At the same time, the EU is attempting to change regulations to make banking across the region as seamless and consistent as possible. As of mid 2008, the American banking system consisted of 8,451 FDIC-insured commercial banks and savings associations owning about 83,360 offices (down from about 86,000 one year earlier). Deposits in FDIC-insured organizations totaled $7.42 trillion


in June 2008 (down from $8.04 trillion in June 2007), while assets totaled $11.43 trillion (down from $12.26 trillion one year earlier). In addition, as 2008 began, there were 8,101 credit unions with assets totaling $758 billion. U.S. employment at banks, savings associations and credit unions totaled about 1.831 million in September 2008, down from 1.838 million one year earlier. Another 648,600 worked in other creditrelated activities, such as mortgages and credit card operations. Significant reductions in employment in these offices will occur in late 2008 and 2009. Meanwhile, as of 2007, U.S. consumers enjoyed the use of 415,321 ATMs around the nation, including 236,732 at non-bank locations. American banking, until recently, enjoyed a state of deregulation not seen in decades. As a result, vast, national banking institutions grew rapidly by acquiring regional banking firms, entering new fields, increasing assets and expanding globally. The number of branch banks expanded as firms opened not only traditional branches but also branches in alternative locations such as supermarkets and WalMart stores. Hundreds of thousands of ATMs across America became more sophisticated and multi-task capable, making them virtual branches. Meanwhile, consumers and businesses are becoming much more reliant on online management of their bank accounts as the number of homes and businesses enjoying broadband access to the Internet has reached true mass-market scope. Over 100 million U.S. homes and businesses now have broadband, and banks are evolving their online services to take advantage of this infrastructure. Non-bank companies remain a competitive threat to traditional banks. Retailers, automobile manufacturers, stock brokers, insurance companies and other business sectors are offering a growing array of bank-like services, from loans and mortgages, to credit cards, to money market accounts with checking account-like features. The credit card industry is evolving as well. A truly revolutionary wave of “smart” cellular phones that act like debit cards and manage financial accounts is sweeping Asia and slowly taking root in Europe and the U.S. Around the world, some major bank companies are using special units to provide services that conform to the tenets of Islam in order to take advantage of the rapidly growing Muslim population and the growing income of oil-producing Muslim nations and Muslim-owned businesses. (The Islamic concept of “Sharia” strictly limits the use of interest


charges. Instead, many business deals must be structured on lease, rent or other alternative contracts in order to be acceptable.) Many Muslim-owned banks are competing fiercely while enjoying soaring growth. In our research published during 2005, 2006 and 2007, Plunkett Research consistently warned of the high debt levels carried by American consumers and of the pending difficulties in the mortgage market due to lax lending practices and adjustable interest rate loans. By late 2007 a high level of defaults and foreclosures had clearly come home to roost, creating significant turmoil in banking and credit markets both in the U.S. and abroad. As of August 2008, American households owed more than $2.57 trillion in consumer debt, such as auto loans and credit card debt, up from $1.99 trillion at the end of 2002. The 2008 total is more than triple the amount owed in 1990: $808 billion. Growth in residential mortgages has been even faster. At the end of 2002, total mortgages outstanding in the U.S. for single-family homes and properties of up to four residential units totaled $6.4 trillion. By mid 2007, that amount had ballooned to $10.7 trillion, according to the Federal Reserve. This was an unprecedented growth rate totaling 67.1% over five years. By June 2008, the amount had grown to $11.25 trillion. This is more than four times the amount owed in 1990: $2.61 trillion. Up until early 2007, mortgage lenders had been pushing a long list of innovative products designed to make it easier to borrow while lowering monthly payment and credit rating requirements. Some of these mortgage variations were bound to lure consumers into self-destructive borrowing and buying as they paid too much for properties while diving deeply into debt. These products ranged from zero-down mortgages to 40-year, fixed-rate loans to “option” loans that allow the borrower to defer a large part of each month’s payment. Many home owners now find themselves vastly overleveraged as a result of such mortgages. Banks, investment houses and investors of all types have written off hundreds of billions of dollars in mortgages during 2007 and 2008 as a result. The residential mortgage and construction markets are in a deep slump and will remain so for some time to come. What’s next in the world of banking and lending? Here are a few emerging trends to watch for: 1) Greatly increased regulatory oversight will restrict lenders of all types.


2) An era of much lower risk-taking by traditional lenders has begun that will last for years. 3) The creation of higher-risk loans and investments will taken over to a major extent by hedge funds and private equity funds, accelerating a trend that has already been in place for some time, and replacing some of the former roles of commercial banks and investment banks. 4) Intense debate will ensue about the possible creation of a global authority that could oversee banking, lending and investment sectors from a high level and perhaps act quickly to commit the central banks of the richest nations as a cohesive force in the event of emergencies. 5) Alternative lending sources will be used to a growing degree by small businesses and some consumers unable to get loans elsewhere. For example, peer-to-peer lending companies are growing through enabling lending by and between members of lending clubs, or between friends and family. Virgin Money USA makes it easy for reliable small business owners to set up loans from friends. Prosper.com enables borrowers to apply for three-year, fixed-rate personal loans online by connecting borrowers with individual lenders. On the other end of the spectrum, small businesses that are unable to obtain or renew bank loans will turn to high-cost “factoring,” a method of borrowing against their receivables. 6) A lengthy and expensive process of writedowns by lenders will continue. Chris Flanagan, an analyst at JP Morgan Securities, estimated in late 2008 that the potential total of bad debts that need to be written off by lenders worldwide stood at $1.7 trillion. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) estimated the potential loss at $1.4 trillion in October 2008. The final toll could be even worse than these numbers, given the fact that significant losses from credit card debts, automobile loans, junk-rated corporate bonds and shaky municipal bonds will occur in 2009 and 2010.

Nationalization of Banks Worldwide The global financial crisis of 2008 left governments with little choice but to prop up leading banks with additional capital. This quickly resulted in a partial nationalization (that is, government ownership and/or control) of a long list of the world’s leading banks. The methods of government investment, control or ownership varied widely from one nation to the next. These bailouts of banks via loans and injection of capital were crafted quickly and under duress, in the hopes of avoiding a run on banks and a further meltdown of the world’s financial network. In the small island nation of Iceland, perhaps the single hardest-hit country, all of the leading banks were taken over completely by the government. Elsewhere, the governments of The Netherlands, Belgium and Luxemborg joined forces to rescue the operations of financial giant Fortis. In the U.K., the government quickly moved to purchase major stakes in the most important banks, including the Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS), and the two firms of Lloyds TSB and HBOS which intend to merge. Top bank executives were forced out as part of the deal, and tough demands were made in exchange for loans and recapitalization. Government representatives will sit on the boards of the institutions. Banks will not be allowed to pay dividends to common shareholders while utilizing bailout funding. In the U.S., however, banks receiving bailouts retained the right to pay common dividends, and CEOs were not required to resign, although their pay will be regulated to some extent. Worldwide, even in the safe banking haven of Switzerland, governments made loans, capital, deposit guarantees and loan repayment guarantees available to the tune of trillions of dollars. Such intense government activity and investment will lead to much higher levels of regulation and regulatory oversight than in the past. Banks will not only find it harder to lend, they will also find it harder to earn handsome profits. It will take years for banking to return to a somewhat normal state, and the total costs and benefits of heightened government investment in banks remains to be seen. 3)

Giant Mergers Change the Face of Global Banking The financial crisis of late 2008 brought about quick mergers and acquisitions of immense proportions, leaving a stalwart few still standing among global banks. In the U.S., Bank of America


Corp., J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. and Citigroup are the Big Three in deposits, followed by Wells Fargo, SunTrust Banks, U.S. Bancorp and National City. Internationally, Germany’s Deutsche Bank AG, France’s BNP Paribas and Societe General, the U.K.’s Royal Bank of Scotland Group PLC and HSBC Holdings and Switzerland’s Credit Suisse Group are among the largest in deposits. 2008 was a year that rocked the U.S. banking industry as unprecedented mergers took place. First, J.P. Morgan Chase (Chase) acquired investment bank Bear Stearns for $1.1 billion in May. Then in September, Bank of America took over investment bank Merrill Lynch for $40 billion. That same month, Chase took over the giant savings bank Washington Mutual (WaMu) after U.S. federal regulators seized WaMu’s assets and sold them for $1.9 billion. Next, in a highly contested takeover, Wells Fargo acquired Wachovia for $12 billion. Wachovia was initially to be acquired by Citigroup in a U.S. government-backed transaction brokered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. (FDIC), but instead went to Wells Fargo which made a private bid. These takeovers came on the heels of 15 FDICinsured bank closings in the first 10 months of 2008. Overall, the FDIC insured 8,399 banking institutions as of October 2008, down from 8,615 in mid-2007 and an all-time high of 9,066 in 2004. Further consolidation of the banking industry will occur. In particular, watch for important regional banks to be snapped up. Sovereign Bankcorp, an important regional firm in Philadelphia, was acquired in October 2008 by Banco Santander of Spain. On the international front, the largest acquisition in history was agreed to in October 2007, when Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) along with Spain’s Santander and Belgium’s insurance and banking giant Fortis cooperated in the acquisition of banking giant ABN Amro for $101 billion. Their timing couldn’t have been worse, and the price they paid was steep, both in terms of the amount paid for ABN Amro and in the resulting effect on Fortis and RBS. As part of the acquisition, Santander, a stronger bank than most, took control of ABN’s Latin America divisions with some success, while ABN Amro’s main banking business, split between RBS and Fortis, has been devastated by the recent credit crisis. The result is Fortis’ ultimate demise and RBS being forced to accept a massive injection of capital from the U.K. government, which will make the government a controlling shareholder of the firm. Meanwhile, the collapse of the banking arm of Fortis brought about another merger of staggering


proportions. In September 2008, Fortis received an emergency capital injection of roughly $15.2 billion from the governments of The Netherlands, Luxemburg and Belgium, in exchange for a 49% interest in the firm. In early October 2008, the bank faced a capital crisis to the extent that it was no longer able to operate. The Dutch government seized its operations in that country, and the Belgian government arranged a $20 billion sale of what was left of Fortis to French banking giant BNP Paribas, which is now the largest bank in Europe based on deposits. A major U.S. financial institution that was not bailed out by the federal government was investment bank Lehman Brothers. The firm declared bankruptcy in September 2008 due to its heavy involvement in subprime and prime mortgages along with its immense liabilities in credit default swaps, among other problems. Unsuccessful attempts were made by the firm to raise capital including plans to spin off its commercial real estate holdings into a new public company and a scheme to sell a majority of its investment management division which could have generated as much as $3 billion. After Lehman’s bankruptcy, U.K. banking giant Barclays announced its intention to buy Lehman’s U.S. capital markets division for a mere $1.75 billion while Japan’s Nomura Holdings agreed to purchase a number of the Lehman’s European, Middle Eastern and Asian assets. In addition, private equity companies Bain Capital and Hellman & Friedman planned to spend $2.15 billion on Lehman’s money management concerns, including Neuberger Berman, a lucrative asset management subsidiary. 4)

U.S. Government Seizes Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac With American foreclosure rates skyrocketing, the U.S. government took the historic step of taking control of mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which collectively facilitate about 75% of new home mortgages. The unprecedented action, announced in September 2008, included the U.S. Treasury’s acquisition of $1 billion of preferred shares in each company, the pledge of as much as $200 billion in capital to cover losses on mortgage defaults and a conservatorship regulated by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA). Another caveat of the takeover was the immediate dismissal of both agencies’ CEOs, Daniel H. Mudd of Fannie Mae and Richard Syron of Freddie Mac. The Treasury department justified the takeover by estimating that $5 trillion of debt and mortgage-


backed securities issued by the two lenders is owned by central banks and other global investors. If either firm had defaulted, global economic chaos would have been the likely outcome. The Treasury Department had already received authority from the U.S. Congress in July 2008 to make necessary loans or equity investments in the hopes that investor confidence would rally. Unfortunately, confidence in Freddie and Fannie deteriorated further. The seizures were preceded by the seizure of California mortgage lender IndyMac Bancorp, Inc. by the Office of Thrift Supervision in July 2008. As with the Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae takeovers, the FDIC served as the bank’s conservator. As such, it renamed the bank “IndyMac Federal Bank” and sought a buyer. Prospect Mortgage quickly stepped up and acquired some of the assets of the bank in August 2008. The crisis at IndyMac is the result a run by depositors who had lost confidence in the institution, leaving it short on cash. IndyMac’s demise was a harbinger of things to come and a clear illustration of the liquidity problems currently facing most major banks worldwide. 5)

Banks Adopt Sophisticated Technology and Retail Perks to Attract Customers Banks around the world have invested heavily in technologies that target likely customers for the growing list of products and services that includes everything from checking accounts to mortgages to insurance policies. Once found, those potential customers are lured with a slew of perks such as retail gift cards, airline tickets or other awards based on points earned for using bank services. Industry analysts estimate that almost 10 million people are participating in awards-for-points programs at banks in the U.S. alone. These point programs are often aimed at encouraging the use of multiple products within the bank. After all, credit card firms have found great success in using points to build card loyalty. Specific demographic groups may be targeted with such programs. For example, large banks have a growing interesting in targeting teenagers. Mining customer data has been a heavily used practice among retailers for years, but banks have only recently caught on. Bank of America invested significantly in consumer data to attempt to predict customer behavior. By observing buying patterns, bank salespeople can anticipate when to approach existing customers for new products and services. Santander Central Hispano, one of the largest banks in Spain, implemented a program that performs


thorough online analysis of customers’ earning and spending patterns. Once profiled, customers are approached by bank staff regarding new products and services that may be of interest. As for customer perks, many banks are offering free merchandise or travel to their account holders. At Citibank a program called the “Thank You Network” assigns points to customers for making check-card or credit card purchases, using direct deposit or opening a certificate of deposit. Customers can redeem awards starting at 1,000 points for a dizzying variety of merchandise such as DVDs, CDs, tools, housewares, electronics and air travel. 40,981,400 points will get you a 37-foot Sea Ray 340 Sundancer power boat. Cleveland, Ohio headquartered National City offers a similar program called “Points from National City” and Banco Popular has its “Premia” program. For the banks that do offer these programs, interesting new business opportunities have arisen to support the need for point tracking and award selection and redemption. MasterCard, Inc.’s Loyalty Solutions Worldwide group, for example, offers technology and consulting services relating to these needs. The financial crisis of 2008 will have interesting effects on banks’ marketing and loyalty efforts. Consumers and businesses were quick to move their money to banks that were perceived to be stronger than others. Meanwhile, many banks will be forced to reduce marketing budgets, due to poor profits, while they nonetheless must compete aggressively in order to retain or obtain customers. Bank industry suppliers offering revolutionary or cost-effective loyalty and marketing programs have an opportunity to prosper. 6)

Banks Vie for Previously Underserved Markets and Focus on Hispanics In the U.S. there are an estimated 12 million households without bank accounts. An additional 38 million are estimated to be “underbanked,” meaning individuals and/or households with very low credit scores or no credit at all. Up until very recently, this market was not actively pursued by banks. However, credit card company Visa believes that $1 trillion per year is paid, by employers or other sources, to people with no bank accounts, the underbanked and unregistered immigrants. Those with no bank accounts must seek financial services from Western Union and other firms that wire consumer funds to family members in other nations, check-cashing services, sellers of money orders and


so-called “payday lenders,” which charge exorbitant interest rates and fees. In fact, there is tremendous profit potential in providing simple financial services to consumers who have historically spurned traditional bank accounts. Citibank partners with the 7-Eleven chain of convenience stores to operate Citibank-branded cash machines in more than 5,700 stores. The machines offer wire transfers, check cashing and bill payment at much lower fees than charged by payday lenders. JPMorgan Chase is also hoping to lure this market with a “direct-benefit card,” which allows the unbanked to receive government tax credits on a debit card rather than by check. In the U.S., the Hispanic population is rapidly expanding while growing in household wealth and buying power. Between 2004 and 2010, Hispanics are expected to increase their share of the U.S. population from 13.3% to 15.5%, while at the same time increasing their spending power from $700 billion to $1 trillion yearly. This segment of the population may be largely underserved. Of all Hispanic adults in the United States, only 65% have checking accounts, in contrast to the rest of the populace at 95%. Marketing to the Hispanic segment involves a number of special initiatives and new services, including signage in Spanish and Spanishspeaking employees at hand. Special marketing campaigns aimed at Hispanic consumers are evolving as well. Bank of America and Citibank have both designated “Hispanic” branches in locations where the percentage of Hispanics is particularly high. Most of these lie within Arizona, California, Florida, New Mexico, New York and Texas, where Hispanic families are the highest in number. Wells Fargo, which has a very strong presence in many of these areas, has gone even further. It accepts matricula cards (a form of identification that can be obtained from Mexican consulates) as a viable identification for opening a bank account. Challenging the huge American-owned banks are U.S. operations of foreign banks headquartered in Spanish-speaking nations. Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria (BBVA), headquartered in Bilbao, Spain, has for years been making advances into Latin America, and one of its subsidiaries, Grupo Financiero BBVA Bancomer, is the largest bank in Mexico. The firm also has operations in Cuba, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic and Panama. Seeing opportunity north of the border, BBVA set up offices in Miami and New York City, purchased the Valley Bank of Moreno Valley, California, and also


acquired Laredo National Bancshares, Texas Regional Bankcshares and State National Bancshares in Texas, and Compass Bank in Alabama. In another instance, Popular, Inc., owner of Banco Popular, the largest bank in Puerto Rico, and one of America’s top 50 bank holding companies, began operations in the continental United States in the 1960s. Its operations remained small until recently. By making acquisitions in six U.S. states, including locations in Southern California and Miami, Florida, the firm has beefed up its presence in its core business markets, including markets with heavy Hispanic populations such as Houston, Texas. Banco Santander Central Hispano, based in Spain, is one of the world’s largest bank holding companies. A long string of acquisitions has made Santander the largest banking firm in Latin America, including a strong presence in Mexico. Banking subsidiaries include Banco Santander-Chile in Chile, Banco Rio de la Plata in Argentina, Grupo Financiero Santander Mexicano in Mexico, Banco do Estado de Sao Paulo in Brazil and Santander BanCorp in Puerto Rico. Santander has a private banking office in Miami and investment banking operations in New York. Also, the firm purchased one of Britain’s largest mortgage lenders, Abbey National. Globally, Santander has more than 132,000 employees, 11,170 branches and 65 million customers. The greatest point of competition in financial services for the Hispanic market is money transferring. Remittances sent from the United States to Latin America (that is, money sent by a U.S. worker to the family back home in Mexico or elsewhere) total more than $30 billion yearly. Banks have as yet made little impact in this market, around 90% of which is held by money-transfer pioneer Western Union, a firm that enjoys more than $4.9 billion in annual revenues. BBVA Bancomer (a Mexican subsidiary of BBVA) and Popular, Inc. have both made entries with check-cashing and moneytransfer outposts, but their share of the market is still very small. Generally, banks require identification to transfer money to another nation via wire, whereas Western Union does not. For the estimated nine to 12 million illegal immigrants in the United States, this is a major consideration. Chexar Networks, Inc. offers a check-cashing technology platform called Smart Score that combines an intuitive database with a Live Risk Management Center to underwrite and authorize all types of checks including payroll, government and personal, with particular emphasis on the Hispanic market. Chexar was formerly Banuestra Financial


Corporation, which was formerly El Banco Financial Corporation. The firm originally opened 12 storefront locations in Georgia to cater to the Hispanic market. The storefronts provide checkcashing service at reasonable fees. In addition, they offer simple bank accounts with no check books. Instead, customers can cash checks, have immediate access to funds without waiting for checks to clear and no risk of bounced checks since they have no check books. Fees average about $40 per month per customer. In 2007, Chexar sold the 12 branch locations to The Peoples Bank of Winder, Georgia so that it can focus on its technology platform. Yet another underserved market for financial services is comprised of teens and children. Many banks are hoping to foster brand awareness in children that will evolve into long-term relationships as the children become adults. U.S. Bancorp offers savings accounts to children as young as five years old. Pint-sized account holders receive stick-on tattoos when they make deposits in any amount and music downloads when they reach $100 in savings. USAA has a First Start Growth mutual fund for children wanting to invest as little as $20 (the fund has total assets of $175 million and invests in stocks that children are likely to know such as PepsiCo and Google). 7)

Japan’s Parliament Agrees to Privatize the Japan Post—One of the World’s Largest Financial Services Organizations Japan is not only the world’s third-largest economy, behind the U.S. and Germany; it also operates one of the world’s largest public banking systems as part of its widely-watched post office system, the Japan Post. The Post not only delivers mail, it also sells insurance, sells lottery tickets in the form of lottery stamps and postcards, and runs the Postal Savings. The Japan Post is a mammoth organization. At its largest (before privatization began splitting it up) it had 24,700 offices, 260,000 employees and an amazing $2.8 trillion in assets, including $1.9 trillion in banking assets. In addition, the insurance unit of the Post is Japan’s largest insurance firm, with $1.1 trillion in assets. This vast asset base has long been a pool of money that politicians have used to create loans to and investments in their favorite projects. Undoubtedly, the operations of this financial services behemoth would be much more efficiently run, and its funds would be much better invested, if it was freed from political patronage and government guidance.


In 2005, the upper house of the Japanese Parliament passed a reform bill that will eventually privatize this insurance and banking side of the Post, which is by some measures the world’s largest financial institution. Initially, Japan Post Holdings, a state-funded organization, took control, creating separate units for savings, insurance, postal services and personnel/property. The four new entities are Japan Post Service Co., Japan Post Network Co., Japan Post Bank Co. and Japan Post Insurance Co. Beginning in 2007, each of these units are gradually being sold off and privatized. The privatization will be completed by 2015. This landmark reform was a major victory for former Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi who largely staked his political future on his ability to get the measure passed. Now, it remains to be seen whether reform and privatization can be pushed through in other major sectors such as health care. Meanwhile, privatizing the Post means that more competition and greater opportunities for other banking and insurance organizations will emerge. 8)

China’s Banking Market Loomed Large But May Slow in a Tight Economy Virtually every major bank holding company wanted a piece of the action in China’s banking sector, where a booming industrial base, rising consumer incomes and a rapidly growing base of middle class and affluent households meant lots of new business. Over the long term, the Chinese economy offers tremendous potential for the banking industry. Goldman Sachs projects the number of individuals in China with annual incomes of over $3,000 will multiply ten times over between 2005 and 2015. China is ripe for the introduction of a broad array of financial outlets, products and services, from credit cards to insurance to mortgages and personal loans. Major financial organizations making investments in or partnerships with banks in China at one time included Royal Bank of Scotland (Bank of China), General Electric (Shenzhen Bank), Deutsche Bank (Hua Xia Bank), Temasek Holdings (Bank of China and China Construction Bank) and American Express, Deutsche Bank and Allianz (Industrial and Commercial Bank of China). A wave of American and European banks bought interests in major Chinese banks. For example, Bank of America paid $3 billion for a 9% stake in the China Construction Bank, one of China’s top four banks and, in October 2005, the first bank to make a public offering of stock. Bank of America’s involvement gave the China Construction Bank an


opportunity to receive top-notch advice for modernization of the bank’s systems and practices. Meanwhile, the value of Bank of America’s investment had multiplied several times by 2008. 2008’s financial crisis may bring about sales of western interests in Chinese banks. Although most of those investments have yielded excellent returns, banks in the U.S., Europe and elsewhere are facing billions of dollars in write-downs related to defaulting loans. The influx of capital generated by the sale of assets in China may well become a necessity. Until 2003, China’s banks were 100% stateowned, generally inefficient and subject to extensive corruption and misallocation of funds. Chinese banking regulators formerly required that foreign investors hold no more than 20% of a Chinese bank. However, Citigroup challenged the requirement with a $3.1 billion bid for 85% of Guangdong Development Bank, which was completed in December 2006. The deal allows Citigroup to select the bank’s board of directors and restructure its business. However, the bulk of Citigroup’s investment is held by the company’s Chinese partners, State Grid Corp. and China Life Insurance Co. Technically, Citigroup holds less than 20% of the bank’s shares, even though it runs the bank’s day to day operations. Meanwhile, China has overhauled and, to some extent, modernized its banking system while cleaning up the balance sheets of Chinese banks. The government injected $283 billion into China’s banks from 1998 through 2005 so they could write-off their massive amounts of non-performing loans. This is somewhat analogous to the intense cleansing of Japan’s banks in recent years. Many banks in China are hoping to use mortgages and other kinds of loans to stimulate consumer spending, a concept that has been historically shunned by the Chinese people. Mortgages have been available only since the late 1990s, and have been slow to catch on. China Construction Bank Corp., the largest issuer of mortgages in China, has only 20% of its total loans made up of mortgages.


Spotlight: Industrial & Commercial Bank of China Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC) is one China’s four largest banks, with over $1.3 trillion in assets under management. The company operates a network of more than 16,400 branches in China, as well as over 100 abroad, including locations in Singapore, Japan, South Korea, Germany, Russia, Luxembourg, Kazakhstan, the U.K., the U.S. and Australia. ICBC also maintains relationships with 1,160 correspondent banks, and provides financial service in renminbi and foreign currencies to wholesale, retail, e-Commerce and international businesses. The firm has over 8 million corporate clients and more than 150 million individual clients; while 1.88 million are members of the company’s high-end banking program, the Elite Club. 10% of the bank is owned by a consortium formed by Goldman Sachs Group, Allianz AG Holding and American Express which paid $3.8 billion in 2006. The bank successfully made one of the largest IPOs in history in October that same year, raising $21.9 billion. 9)

India’s Banking Restrictions Slow Foreign Investment Despite the fact that India’s annual bank industry revenue is expected to reach $35 billion by 2011, foreign-owned banks from the U.S., U.K. and elsewhere are expanding into India at a remarkably slow rate. Generally, foreign investors are allowed up to 49% ownership of private banks in India and 20% of state banks. Also, the Reserve Bank of India (the country’s central bank) generally allots banks with foreign investors the right to open no more than 10 new branches per year. These restrictions are in place so that state-owned Indian banks will have the luxury of a few years’ breathing space to expand their business and increase their assets before competing openly with larger foreign banks. Indian banks were recording average annual growth in profits of more than 25% up until the banking crisis of 2008, while credit cards, car loans and home loans had been booming at a growth rate of more than 50% per year. ICICI Bank Ltd. is India’s largest bank in market value, and is 40% owned by foreigners while HDFC Bank Ltd. is 26% foreign owned. Meanwhile, foreign investment banks have made great strides. In particular, these investment banks seek to gain market share of lucrative IPO, merger and acquisition transactions within India. The U.K.’s Barclays PLC plans to double its equity in Indian


concerns and launch corporate and retail banking services. In late 2008, Barclays announced plans to open a wealth management business in India, while at the same time considering selling some of its interests in Spain. 10)

ATMs Evolve from Cash-Dispensing Machines into Financial Services Depots State-of-the-art automated teller machines now enable customers to log in and view their accounts, manage investments, order additional bank services and even conduct fee-generating consumer purchases. ATMs continue to offer a growing number of banking services at any hour of the day or night. Since 2006, ATMs can accept deposits without an envelope. Previously, ATM deposits were made by placing cash or checks in an envelope and inserting that envelope into the machine after entering the amount on a keypad. Transactions required human verification of the amount entered, which is expensive and time consuming. The new technology scans checks and counts cash, thereby eliminating the time and expense of bank teller’s attention. Checks can be displayed graphically on the machine’s screen, and an image of the check is printed on the customer’s receipt. The process makes it possible for funds to reach the user’s account more quickly while reducing deposit fraud. A consulting unit of Master Card International, Inc. estimates that deposits made by envelope at ATMs cost approximately $1.70 each to process with human intervention. The scanned version costs a mere 40 cents. The process is accepted thanks to the October 2004 Check Clearing for the 21st Century Act (Check 21), which allows financial institutions to clear checks electronically without forwarding the paper check. As of 2007, there are more than 1 million ATMs throughout the world (including 415,321 in the U.S.) that perform in excess of 40 billion transactions per year. ATM networks such as Cirrus enable customers to withdraw funds in any city in the United States and in London, Tokyo, Sydney or thousands of other cities around the world. Financial service providers have seized ATM locations as prime advertising space. Shared account information lets advertisers know the nature of a particular ATM customer’s account portfolio; the advertiser can then flash an ad for complementary services that the customer might want to utilize. For example, an ATM visitor holding a retirement account might receive a message advertising a Roth-IRA deal.


ATMs entered the world as a type of cashvending equipment. Today, however, state-of-the-art ATMs that act as financial services centers are common. Newer ATMs take advantage of color monitors and Pentium-class processors connected to the Internet to provide customers with a wealth of information and service choices, as well as a long list of banking functions such as account withdrawals, deposits and balance transfers. Via the Internet and the ATM’s printer, the latest machines also enable customers to purchase tickets to entertainment events, view personalized stock portfolios, pay bills, see sports scores, access maps for directions, sign up for online banking or view a cancelled check. However, ATMs face tough competition from the sheer number of machines in place. New efficiencies on the horizon may boost ATM use without significant investment on the part of participating banks. Future government regulations requiring services for the sight- or hearing-impaired will bring about further innovation in ATM technology. 11)

Credit Default Swaps (CDS) Soar into the Trillions of Dollars A credit default swap is an agreement whereby the seller of the swap agrees to make a payment to the buyer in the event of a specified event. The buyer of the swap may purchase it with one upfront payment or with a series of payments over time. The swap acts as insurance against the default of a debt instrument, often a junk bond. The seller is guaranteeing that the debt will not be defaulted upon. In return, the seller receives a fee rather like an insurance premium. This reduces risk on the part of the debt holder, who is the buyer of the swap. Hedge funds are common sellers of these swaps. In fact, hedge funds, banks, insurance company subsidiaries and investment firms have generated immense amounts of credit swaps, totaling approximately $55 trillion as of mid-2008. Underwriting these swaps is a relatively easy way for hedge funds and financial institutions to generate lucrative fee income. Unfortunately, it is also extremely risky. A swap transaction might look like this: 1) A pension fund manager purchases $100 million in high-yield, high-risk corporate bonds (“junk bonds”). The fund manager wants to enjoy the high rate of interest on the bonds, but since junk bonds frequently default, he decides to lay-off some of the risk with a swap. 2) A hedge fund agrees to underwrite a swap that will pay up to $50 million to the pension fund in the event that the pension fund incurs a loss on the


bonds. The hedge fund collects a fee, which may range up to a few million dollars. Money center banks, like JPMorgan Chase and Bank of America, along with major investment banks like Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley, are big buyers and sellers of such swaps. As one of the most popular types of financial derivatives, these swaps can be used to assume or lay-off the risk of many subunits of debt instruments, depending on the needs of the ultimate owner of the debt. Such slices of investments are often called “tranches.” Banks and investment firms have reaped immensely profitable fees from swaps. At one time, the amount of CDS outstanding on a global basis topped $64 trillion, but the business slowed considerably in 2008. There is considerable risk that the swaps could blow up. If a large number of corporations are unable to make timely payments on their debt instruments, or if other types of risks covered by swaps result in large losses (such as high-risk insurance policies) banks, insurance companies or hedge funds that have covered such swaps could find themselves struggling to pay off their derivative obligations. Large amounts of swaps were written to cover the risks involved in holding collateralized pools of subprime mortgages. Those subprime mortgages plummeted in value during 2007, and the underwriters of those swaps face billions of dollars in losses. Of course, the biggest news was the U.S. government’s need to bailout global insurance giant American International Group (AIG) in the fall of 2008. AIG was considered by most analysts to be a reasonably well-managed insurance company with good long-term potential in the global market. Unfortunately, a relatively small division at AIG had taken immense risks by writing credit default swaps totaling hundreds of billions of dollars; many of these swaps insured subprime mortgage securities. This is what broke the company’s back. The American government promised AIG up to $85 billion in loans in exchange for effective control of the firm and a change of top management. That need quickly grew to more than $120 billion when AIG found it difficult to find buyers for assets and operating companies that it intends to sell. An important test of the CDS model took place in the fall 2008, when large numbers of default swaps came due on Lehman Brothers (the recently bankrupt investment bank) obligations. According to the Depository Trust & Clearing House, a firm that processes investment transactions, CDS insuring Lehman Brothers obligations were settled in October


with a relatively modest $5.2 billion changing hands. While a much larger total of CDS were outstanding among Depository Trust & Clearing House’s clients, many of these swaps cancelled each other out. Elsewhere, bailed-out AIG stated that it paid only $6.2 million to settle its CDS insuring Lehman Brothers debt. The amount was relatively minor because many of AIG’s positions covering Lehman cancelled each other out by taking opposing sides of a transaction. 12)

Banks See Growth in Online Services Banks have learned that combining the convenience of telephone and online banking with a chain of branch locations allows them to fill the entire range of customer needs. This is similar to the trend among major retailers of combining ecommerce and physical storefronts, thereby creating synergies between bricks and clicks. All major banks now have web sites where banking customers can check the status of their accounts, including checking, savings, investments and loans; make money-transfers to pay off bills; and apply for services online. For the most part, online banking has been an enormous success. Consulting firm Celent estimated that as of mid-2007, 40% of U.S. households (about 46 million) banked online, up from about 20% in 2002. Online banking is more attractive than ever to many customers, thanks to technology that allows easy, fast tracking of multiple accounts using a single online tool. Information technology firm Yodlee, Inc. (corporate.yodlee.com) offers a product called PersonalFinance that affords consumers the ability to track spending across all accounts, regardless of the number of different institutions that hold those accounts. In addition, Yodlee BillPay speeds bill payments, enabling funds to be transferred on the same day that the bill is paid. Bank of America offers its own money management tool that categorizes expenses across a number of accounts. Success in online banking, however, seems to be dependent on having physical locations as well. Several companies created purely online banks, only to write them off later as failures, as it seems that consumers still want a branch to go to, even if most of their banking is done online. NetBank, Inc., one of the few successful pure online banks, managed to attract 104,000 customers and $1.4 billion in deposits in the U.S. and in 90 other nations. Accounts are accessible not only online, but through ATMs, phone, mail and wire transfer. NetBank was acquired by ING DIRECT in 2007 for $14 million.


ING Direct, an online subsidiary of the Dutch insurance and financial services conglomerate ING Group, is a fierce competitor in the online banking sector. It amassed U.S. deposits from next to nothing in 2000 to more than $77 billion in 2007 by offering high interest rates on deposits and bonuses of $25 for opening a new account. It had more than 21.5 million customers in nine countries as of 2008. In an interesting marketing ploy, the firm operates six Internet cafes in New York City; Philadelphia; Los Angeles; Chicago; Wilmington, Delaware; and St. Cloud, Minnesota to promote its brand. E*Trade Financial, a major online stock broker, entered the online and electronic banking field in a big way. It owns a nationwide system of ATMs under the E*Trade brand and has a rapidly growing base of online bank deposits, including $174 billion in customer assets. In 2008, the firm launched an online service center. All of these online institutions are expanding their services to include loans of many types. ELoan, Inc. (which is a subsidiary of Popular, Inc.) offers mortgages, home equity and auto loans as well as personal lines of credit online. ING Direct is another example of an online loan provider, offering mortgages and home equity loans. Companies that offer ATMs, physical branches and online services find the combination to be extremely effective. To begin with, it costs a great deal less to service a customer who primarily relies on online services to manage accounts and ATMs to get cash. The extremely rapid growth of broadband Internet access in U.S. homes and businesses means that banks’ Internet sites can be rich with multiple features. Customers who use online services tend to be the more affluent, better educated consumers who subscribe to broadband. These customers maintain larger bank balances, have better credit ratings and generally create higher levels of profit than customers who aren’t online. For example, Bank of America, the nation’s leader in total retail bank accounts, has more than 20 million online customers as of 2008. In early 2005, the firm estimated that online customers were 27% more profitable than customers who aren’t online. It also offers mobile banking via cell phones, along with a free online bill paying service that is used by more than 7.5 million customers. Many online banks are adding a human element to the online experience through live chat. The online feature pairs customers with bank personnel, who sell products and services, answer questions and handle customer service problems using Internet


messaging. Participating banks include Bank of America, Citigroup and Wells Fargo. A major challenge to online banking is maintaining account security. Because bank web sites are specifically geared toward financial transactions, they have often been subject to attacks by hackers, scam artists and virus writers. In one instance, a hacker known as Robotector sent out millions of e-mails containing a spyware program (this process is known as “phishing”). If activated, the program would collect usernames and passwords for online bank accounts and e-mail them back to Robotector. Symantec, an online security firm, estimates that phishers sent 1.5 billion e-mails in 2006, up 19% from 2005. Gartner reports that online phishing rose an additional 40% in 2007. Many consumers have found their bank accounts in jeopardy after releasing personal information to fraudulent inquiries. Online fraud reached $55.7 billion in 2006, according to Javelin Strategy & Research, although it fell to $49.3 billion in 2007. State-of-the-art encryption technology can make online information more secure, but it can’t combat dishonest e-mails or naïve consumers who give out information they shouldn’t. Beginning in 2005, a group of U.S. regulators called the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council, including the Federal Reserve and the FDIC, requires banks to monitor their online identifications systems, and enforces standards in regular inspections. Many banks’ web sites display pre-chosen images such as flowers or puppies when a customer enters a user name. If the customer does not recognize the picture, he or she knows it is not safe to log in. Wachovia is using Microsoft’s Vista operating system which uses a tool called CardSpace to store personal data on a customer’s PC. E*Trade has gone a step farther and installed a system that compares online behavior with a database of fraud patterns. If a transaction does not fall in line with previous behavior, the customer may receive a call from a service manager or a text message to confirm the trade. Bank of America offers SafePass, a 6digit, one-time passcode sent as a text message to customers’ mobile phones which can then be used to authorize fund transfers, administer the online payment system and receive higher transfer limits. Major security software providers include RSA Security (www.rsa.com), VeriSign (www.verisign.com) and Entrust (www.entrust.com). Banks have their work cut out for them with regard to online security. Hackers are highly adaptable and quickly seek ways to bypass or damage


new security techniques. Security measures must also be easy to implement from the user’s side, or customers will skip online banking altogether. 13)

Credit Card Debts Could Be the Next Big Problem/Credit Card Competition is Fierce Global consumers are awash in credit card debt, and a lot of it is about to go unpaid. Visa, for example, reports that it processed charges amounting to more than $4 trillion worldwide in the year ended March 31, 2008 (up from $3.3 trillion a year earlier) on its customers’ 1.6 billion cards (up from 1.4 billion in 2007). MasterCard’s customers total about 900 million, Discover’s 50 million and American Express’s 90 million. Another competitor in consumer payments is the e-commerce firm PayPal, a unit of eBay which electronically debits customer’s checking accounts for online purchases. The highly popular PayPal processed $31 billion in online purchases in 2007. A study by financial analysts at Innovest in the fall of 2008 found that distressed consumers are charging more to their credit cards when their home equity lines of credit are curtailed due to dropping home values. Innovest estimates that credit card issuers will be faced with $41 billion in bad credit card receivables in 2008 and $96 billion in 2009. This is unfortunate timing, coming on top of massive losses from bad mortgages. America’s leading credit card issuers include JPMorgan Chase, managing more than $155 in credit card debt, Bank of America at $153 billion and Citigroup at $151 billion as of mid 2008. (These numbers are prior to recently announced major acquisitions and mergers.) In total, credit card firms in America manage nearly $1 trillion in debt. While the banks have historically sold much of this debt in the form of securitized pools of debt obligations, market conditions have made it much more difficult to find buyers for these debts. Unfortunately, a significant portion of outstanding credit card debt is owed by subprime borrowers. Going forward, consumers will find it harder to obtain new cards. Meanwhile, in many cases, their interest rates on balances are increasing and their credit limits are being reduced. This major reduction in consumer credit could have a devastating effect on retailers and services firms. Earnings from credit card operations are in serious decline. For the third quarter of 2008, for example, American Express saw income from continuing business operations drop by 23% over the same period of 2007, despite an increase in total


revenues. The firm announced staff cuts, and saw its net write-offs of credit card debt leap to about 6% from 3% a year earlier. Competition among credit card companies is intense, and getting stronger. RevolutionMoney, partly backed by Steve Case who made his money at American Online (AOL), has created a new credit card network. Its appeal to merchants is a vastly lower transaction fee of 0.5%, compared to about 2.1% charged by Visa. It’s one thing to invent a credit card, but another to convince people to use it. Murphy Oil, which runs gas stations at hundreds of Wal-Mart stores, was offering consumers a three-cent per gallon discount for using the RevolutionCard in 2008. Credit cards utilize some of the most sophisticated communications technology in the world. Visa transactions, totaling 52 billion charges in the year ended March 31, 2008, soar along millions of miles of fiber-optic cable. Charges made in almost any location around the globe can be processed across phone lines to one of dozens of Visa data centers, authorized through a network by the issuing bank while the approval is sent back to the point of purchase with an averaged elapsed time of two seconds. The company’s recently enhanced network has the capability of handling 11,000 transactions per second. Visa’s rival MasterCard is a technology wonder itself. It operates a 550,000 square foot global technology and operations center that cost $136 million, equipped with 743 miles of conduit, 160 miles of fiber optic and 360 massive server cabinets. Meanwhile, banks and stock brokerages have upped the ante in the affluent card holder market. American Express has long been the leader in serving affluent customers, as well as providing cards for use by businesses including major corporations. Amex card users tend to be much more affluent than users of competing cards, and they charge, on average, twice as much per year to their cards. Amex’s Platinum and black Centurion cards are recognized as the purchasing cards for the wealthy. Holders of those cards pay substantial annual fees. In return, they receive excellent personal services, including the use of agents who can book travel arrangements, restaurant reservations and show tickets, as well as access to specialists who can help travelers in emergencies. Competing organizations see no reason to leave affluent card holders to American Express. Visa and MasterCard issuers such as Merrill Lynch have launched their own very high-level cards to compete.


Card holders who travel remain the most desired customers for card issuers. Cards such as Citibank’s Aadvantage card, an American Airlines relationship that offers mileage rewards, and American Express’s Delta SkyMiles card remain among the most profitable of all card offerings. Holders of these cards tend to rack up very high charges each year, receiving airline mileage rewards in exchange for their loyalty. (Selling mileage awards to the credit card companies is one of the best profit centers for major airlines.) American consumers are the world’s biggest users and holders of credit and debit cards by far, charging purchases much faster than consumers in other nations. In fact, in many nations, such as Japan, consumers are reluctant to own multiple credit cards and even more reluctant to carry balances on their cards. However, consumers in some nations, notably Brazil (where there were 266 million Visa cards by 2008) and Mexico, have been adopting credit card use quickly in recent years. As of mid2008, 71 million Visa cards had been issued in the rapidly-growing nation of India. 14)

Credit Card Technologies Advance with Better Security and Contactless Payment The love affair between American consumers and their credit cards means that America has an immense credit card theft risk. Credit card fraud is a massive and costly problem, nearing $1 billion yearly in the U.S. alone. One of the largest problems lies in the vulnerability of the credit card number—a number that doesn’t change on today’s cards. Unfortunately, thieves have occasionally been able to hack into databases containing millions of credit card numbers. A security technology that initially had promise was biometric identification; that is, the use of unique body characteristics to identify the card holder. Pay By Touch was a San Francisco-based firm that offered multiple products using biometrics to authorize payments. Although by the end of 2007, more than 11,000 retail sites were using Pay By Touch to enable three million participating consumers to use a fingerprint to positively identify themselves for credit card, debit or other transactions, the company filed for bankruptcy in 2008. Meanwhile, many firms are trying out cards that communicate with cash registers wirelessly, via an embedded chip. This is sometimes referred to as contactless payment, waveable cards or tap and go. This means that consumers can simply wave the credit card past a reader—rather than rely on the


swiping of a magnetic strip. The chip in each card uses encryption technology to deter theft and fraud. The idea is to speed up cash register lines and make things more convenient for consumers. For example, it is a logical technology for purchases at fast food counters, toll booths and vending machines. Signatures will not be required for small purchases made with these cards. Of course, ExxonMobil has been offering its contactless SpeedPass payment system at the gasoline pump for years, and millions of ExxonMobil cardholders are enthusiastic users. American Express tried “ExpressPay” contactless technology embedded in a fob designed for key chains. The fob proved unpopular and was discontinued in 2008, but American Express is continuing to embed chips in its traditional cards for contactless payment. Visa’s system is called “Visa Wave”. MasterCard has developed the “PayPass” technology for use in credit cards, debit cards and key fobs. Generally, these technologies rely on an open software architecture that is easy for programmers to adopt. Credit card organizations are seeking growth by encouraging consumers to use these contactless cards more often and for small purchases that might otherwise be made with cash. For example, Visa has relaxed its rules and merchant fees for purchases under $15 and has enabled qualifying merchants to accept cards without signature for purchases of up to $25. Visa considers faster transaction time to be a prime benefit of these cards. By mid-2008, MasterCard had about 40 million contactless cards in circulation, compared to 10 million at Visa. McDonalds is an early adopter at its cash registers, and Coca-Cola plans to install the technology in new vending machines. The biggest problem lies in educating consumers and merchants alike, while getting merchants to install the necessary card readers. (Similar technology can easily be installed in cellphones, which are replacing credit cards to some extent in Asia for small purchases.) A new card security technology developed by Innovative Card Technologies (www.incard.com) is on the horizon. It is developing cards that display numeric passwords and a chip that changes the passwords when buttons on the back of the cards are pressed. Meanwhile, some card firms offer special software that can alert card holders to unusual or inappropriate purchases. For example, U.S. Bancorp offers a card to businesses that alerts a manager when an employee uses a company card for certain classes


of merchandise or services such as cigarettes, for example. 15)

Smart Phones May Replace Smart Cards/Mobile Banking Grows In Japan and elsewhere, personal payment systems are programmed into cellphones instead of credit cards. A payment chip embedded in an Internet-enabled, smart cellphone has vast advantages over the smart card. Users are able to check the chip’s monetary balance on the cellphone’s screen and then use phone-based online banking to transfer money from a checking or savings account to the chip. Typically, the balance held in the financial phone’s chip is no more than $200 or so, enough to make small, fast purchases at vending machines and fast food outlets. As of early 2008, an estimated 30 million Japanese were using smart phones, many of them enabled to make payments. In South Korea, it is so convenient to pay bills and make purchases via cellphone that some consumers don’t use checkbooks at all. There, consumers receive offers from nearby stores and restaurants on their location-based cellphones and often pay their restaurant tabs via cellphone. While paying via cellphone has gained the most traction to date in major cities within Asia, it is also gaining popularity in Europe. In the U.S., the “financial smart phone” concept is barely past its infancy; however, a growing number of financial institutions, credit card companies, cellular service providers and phone manufacturers are investing millions in the technology. Nokia is making the technology standard in many if not all of its handset models and Motorola introduced its first phone with a digital wallet in February 2006. In Atlanta, 150 season ticket holders to Atlanta Hawks basketball games and Atlanta Thrashers hockey games were issued Nokia 3220 cellphones with smart chips embedded in the handset cover. The chips along with the necessary software link the phones to the user’s Chase credit card accounts. The phones can be used at special terminals in the more than 150 concession stands in the Philips Arena to pay for food and drinks. Making payments and sending remittances via cellphone is rapidly growing in popularity worldwide, particularly as a way to transfer money in nations where retail banking is not widespread. Africa is a prime market for such services. In 2008, Western Union Co., in partnership with Radio Shack Corp., launched a service that allows users to wire funds via cellphones. The service was developed in conjunction with Trumpet Mobile (a unit of Affinity


Mobile LLC), which developed the secure financial platform on which the service is based. Users go to any Radio Shack store to purchase a Trumpet prepaid phone. Customers can load up to $200 onto the phones for cash transfer via Western Union’s U.S. or international network. Western Union also hopes to have customers use their phones to pay utility bills or manage their bank accounts. A similar service was launched by Vodaphone Group PLC and Telkom Kenya Ltd. earlier in 2008. Of course, the Radio Shack/Western Union service is aimed at making it extremely easy for immigrants who are working in the U.S. to send money to their families back home. A major trend that is still in its infancy in the U.S. is mobile banking. The ability to check balances, transfer funds and verify transactions on cellphones will soon be commonplace. As of late 2008, the technology needed to accomplish these tasks was still somewhat limited. Only a small number of Americans are banking on their phones. Bank of America, for example, had 1.2 million mobile banking users, or less than 5% of its online banking customers. However, in a 2008 study by the TowerGroup, 3 million people used mobile banking in the three-month period between March and June, which was almost triple the number who used it six months earlier. JPMorgan Chase already offers its customers the ability to send the text message “BAL” to the bank and receive a reply via text in short order. The difficulties facing the use of financial phones and mobile banking in the U.S. include the facts that typical American cellphone users are wary of security issues, and cellular service can be spotty in some areas. What if a phone is stolen? Can a thief use the phone to buy merchandise or access bank accounts? There are also questions about the fees generated by using financial phones as payment devices. Every business involved in a transaction from the credit card company to the cellphone service provider wants a piece of the potential revenue. Finally, there is the fact that U.S. consumers typically already hold multiple credit and/or debit cards, and nearly all retail outlets that they may deal with accept such cards. Also the fact that there are banks or ATMs on all heavily travelled U.S. urban streets may make it more difficult for U.S. consumers to see value in switching to financial phones to be used as payment devices. An easier sell is the use of cellphones for secure log in to view balances and manage bank and investment accounts. The biggest news in cellphones is Google’s release of the Android mobile phone operating system, an open source platform that allows third


parties to freely develop software to be used on Android-equipped phones. Such phones, sometimes called GPhones, will be manufactured by a large number of the world’s leading cellphone makers. In September 2008, Visa announced the launch of Visa mobile services for Android-equipped phones. TMobile is already marketing new phones with Visa mobile software. Visa mobile customers will receive alerts of purchase activity based on customized cardholder preferences. Consumers will be able to personalize the types of alerts delivered to their mobile devices, such as the size of the transaction, or whether the transaction is in foreign currency. Because these alerts are triggered by the transaction as it passes through the Visa network, consumers will receive notifications almost immediately, a new way to combat fraud. Customers will also receive targeted offers from merchants directly to their phones. These offers, ranging from discounts to loyalty offers, could be based on a consumer’s previous purchase activity. Also, a locator service is expected to integrate with technology developed by Google, such as Google Maps and Google location-based services, to show consumers nearby locations of merchants sending them offers, or of an ATM that accepts Visa. The location would be shown on a map displayed on the mobile device screen. 16)

Subprime and Alt-A Mortgages Burn Lenders and Overburdened Borrowers The housing, lending and construction markets enjoyed booming times through early 2006. However, in 2007 and 2008 the picture turned black. Unfortunately, in many cases, the boom times were created by very aggressive lending to consumers who couldn’t afford the mortgages that they signed over the long term. Now, the mortgage business and related sectors are paying the price. As of March 2008, an estimated 9 million U.S. homeowners owed more on their mortgages than their homes were actually worth. For the third quarter of 2008, foreclosure notices were up 70% from the same period in 2007, according to specialists at RealtyTrac. More than 250,000 U.S. homes were repossessed during that period, and 766,000 homes received a foreclosure notice of some sort. RealtyTrac expects more than one million foreclosed homes to be on the resale market as 2009 begins. Homeowners aren’t the only ones who are suffering. Non-payment on these mortgages and plummeting values of the houses that were used as


collateral have devastated the lenders and investors that hold the mortgages. Lenders have lost hundreds of billions of dollars, and the crashing values of mortgage securities touched off the global financial crisis of 2008. There were many factors at work here, often related to an over-eager quest for profits. All parties are to blame. 1) Consumers wanted to cash in on what were once rising home prices. Many not only purchased and resold (“flipped”) their own residences, but invested in additional condominiums and houses as well, hoping to flip them in short order for big profits. 2) Homebuilders had an unprecedented opportunity to sell to eager buyers, many of them first-time purchasers. Homebuilders found their inventories of land, as well as houses under construction, to be growing in value rapidly. They were able to raise prices consistently while their new homes sold quickly, often on a pre-construction basis. 3) The entire mortgage industry, from mortgage brokers to mortgage bankers to investment banks that packaged and traded pools of mortgages, had an unprecedented opportunity to earn extremely lucrative fees by generating new mortgages. Profits were fast and furious during this boom. Now the entire machine is coming unglued. Once the bubble finally popped, and there was no longer a long line of buyers eager to snap up the offerings of flippers and homebuilders, the market sagged in a hurry. People who were the most recent investors often find that they are now stuck with the homes and condos that they purchased, many of which they simply can’t afford to hold. How did this happen? Mortgage lending became so aggressive that virtually anyone could purchase a house, perhaps several of them at once, even if they had poor credit, modest incomes, high levels of existing debt and/or little money to use as a down payment. Exotic new types of mortgages, designed to make it easier and easier for buyers to borrow, proliferated, regardless of whether they made any economic or business sense. In total, exotic loans that were easier to qualify for, including interest-only mortgages and loans that required little or no documentation, accounted for 47% of the total mortgages written in the U.S. in 2006. One of the biggest problems is the Alt-A or alternative documentation loan, sometimes sneeringly referred to as “liars’ loans.” A traditional mortgage requires the borrower to provide verifiable evidence of income and financial assets. The evidence might include copies of income tax returns, W2 forms, copies of bank and investment account statements,


etc. Alt-A loans charge the borrower a slightly higher interest rate for the privilege of skipping the evidence. The borrower simply states his or her income and assets on the loan application while providing no actual evidence. Anything from a little lying to outright fraud was rampant. A second large problem is the fact that buyers were able to purchase houses with either no money down or very little money down, thanks to aggressive lending. This was particularly appealing to buyers who had very little in terms of financial assets. They were empowered to go into debt for a house worth tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars without a serious commitment in the form of a down payment. When home values decline, these buyers have little incentive to hang onto the houses. In fact, the borrowers find that they owe more than the actual value of these houses. Many of them have very little money on hand with which to ride out hard times. Even as late as 2007, there was no down payment on 29% of the mortgage loans originated, according to the U.S. Department of the Treasury. Then there’s the third problem, which has created huge repercussions throughout the financial world: subprime loans. These are mortgages provided to buyers who have low credit scores or are financially weak. Some lenders loved these loans because they could charge higher interest rates on them. There were plenty of eager home buyers on hand, but their incomes were low, or their credit scores were terrible, or both. Analysts at Barclays Capital estimate that there were about $1 trillion in subprime loans outstanding as of late 2008. About 80% of subprime loans written in America in 2005-2006 were set up as adjustable interest rate mortgages (ARMs) that initially have low interest that soon balloon much higher. These are the loans that are creating immense problems for borrowers in 2008-2009 as rates reset. The “teaser” or introductory rate ARM and the Option-ARM emerged as popular vehicles for these situations. While they helped builders move houses and lenders move loans, they are time bombs waiting to explode in the faces of borrowers. In teaser rate loans, borrowers were given extremely low interest rates for the first year or two, sometimes as low as 1%. This made the initial monthly payments quite affordable, enabling the borrower to qualify under rules that state that a borrower’s monthly payments cannot exceed a certain percentage of their monthly income. Then there’s the hybrid or “option” variation. In this case, the borrower is allowed to select from several payment choices each month. Borrowers


even have the option of paying no principal for the month while paying only part of the interest due. This creates negative amortization of the loan. That is, the principal balance increases. After a set period, for example five years, borrowers have to start making full principal and interest payments on their now-larger loans. This means that their monthly payment is vastly larger than it was during the “option” payment period. Barclays Capital analysts estimate that roughly 1.4 million U.S. households, mostly in California, hold option ARMs. The looming results from this mess are as follows: 1) Mortgage brokers and bankers that specialized in subprime loans are suffering. More than 100 major subprime lenders had already closed their doors or been bought out by early 2008, followed by the collapse and/or takeover of U.S. mortgage giants IndyMac, Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae and Washington Mutual (WaMu) in September 2008. 2) Homeowners and homebuilders are having difficulty selling their properties and are seeing lower home values in many cases. According to the S&P/Case-Shiller U.S. national home price index, home prices from January 2007 to January 2008 declined at a larger rate than at any time since 1987. Industry analysts expect values to decline even further in 2008. 3) Large numbers of foreclosures are occurring, as homeowners are unable to meet their commitments—particularly on subprime loans and ARMs that have rising monthly payments. The increase in monthly payments on a $200,000 ARM that resets from a “teaser” rate can run $1,000 per month or more. 4) The move-up market is suffering. That is, homeowners who are starting to enjoy better incomes, and are thus ready to move up into larger, more expensive homes, are having trouble selling their old houses. Families that want to relocate to another city for career purposes are feeling the same problem. 5) New regulations abound. Federal and state legislators are jumping into the middle of the mortgage business, quickly drafting new rules in an attempt to curtail lenders from providing mortgages to consumers who can’t afford them. The U.S. Federal Housing Administration (FHA) launched a government-insured mortgage program called FHASecure in late 2007 in which high-interest adjustable-rate mortgage holders may be able to refinance and lower their monthly payments. As of April 2008, the FHA claimed it had served 145,000 homeowners and projected to assist a total exceeding 400,000 by the end of 2008. In addition, the U.S. Office of Thrift Supervision is proposing a similar plan for borrowers whose debts exceed the value of



their homes. Meanwhile, the U.S. Department of the Treasury proposed in early 2008 the creation of a federal Mortgage Origination Commission, to be overseen by six-person board of representatives of the Federal Reserve and five other agencies devoted to banking regulation. The commission would set minimum standards for state licensing of mortgage lending companies and brokers. Politicians are also getting into the act. Watch for a number of housing market support proposals and mortgage workout ideas from state and federal government, particularly in the wake of the federal seizure of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae and as the 2008 elections occur in November.

A. The Primary and Secondary Mortgage Markets The mortgage market is divided into two components: the primary market and secondary mortgage markets. 1) The primary market is simply the process the consumer encounters in obtaining a home loan: application, credit and property evaluation, underwriting and loan closing. 2) The secondary mortgage market is the acquisition and sale of newly closed and seasoned loans between lenders (such as mortgage bankers who originate and then resell mortgages, earning fees in the process) and institutional investors such as the Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA or “Ginnie Mae”), the Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA or “Fannie Mae”) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC or “Freddie Mac”). As of September 2008, both Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are operation under conservatorships regulated by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA). With these long-term investors as major purchasers of mortgage loans, vast liquidity is added to the market under normal conditions. Typically, when a lender funds a loan, it is doing so on borrowed funds from a bank, from a line of credit known as a “warehouse line.” If the lender does not sell its loans, eventually the warehouse line will be full, and no more funds will be available to it to make loans. In addition to providing liquidity, the secondary market is a convenient way for mortgage bankers to manage and transfer the interest rate risk associated with the closing of the loan. In the secondary market, mortgages are either sold individually (“whole loan”) or in pools of loans such as mortgage-backed securities. In general, a pool contains loans that are similar in rate, term and product type. Payments are made to the original

Mortgage Originations Fall The Internet created a much more competitive landscape for home mortgages. Sites ranging from Ditech.com to LendingTree set low origination fees and made it simple to complete applications online, while the Internet itself made it much simpler for consumers to compare interest rates and mortgage options. LendingTree claims to have closed $185 billion in total transactions by early 2008. Meanwhile, Ditech offers flat origination fees at $395. (Traditionally, origination fees were a substantial 1% of the total mortgage. On a $250,000 mortgage, for example, this would total $2,500.) At the same time, due to the difficult real estate market and overall economic recession, many mortgage companies are fighting to stay afloat. Total home mortgage originations (which include loans for new purchases as well as refinancings) reached $3.81 trillion in America in 2003, during a low-interest-rate environment and a booming U.S. housing market. In 2006, originations were down to about $2.72 trillion. MBA estimates there were $2.3 trillion in total mortgage originations for 2007. The group forecast only $1.86 trillion in originations for 2008 and $1.66 trillion in 2009, nearly a 60% drop from the 2003 peak. In 2003, refinancings made up a historical high of 66% of all mortgage originations, as homeowners took advantage of extremely low interest rates, but refinances dropped to a 50% share in 2008. The MBA sees this share dropping to about 43% in 2010.

Mortgage Market Facts


lender or to a designated “servicer,” who handles billing, collecting, reporting, delinquency follow-up and the management of tax and escrow accounts. A common practice in the industry is to sell the loan “servicing released,” along with the original mortgage, for a negotiated fee. By doing this, lenders relieve themselves of the interest rate risk associated with holding mortgage obligations in their portfolios. (Rising interest rates will lower the value of a portfolio of existing loans.) Investors who purchase these loans in the secondary market take a long-term view and are willing to assume interest rate risks.

B. Factors Affecting Mortgage Rates A sudden shift in interest rates can wreak havoc on the value of an institution’s portfolio of loans. It can also cause major headaches for lenders that must constantly tweak their pricing and marketing strategies in order to stay competitive and profitable. Consumers in the market for home financing should track interest rates as well. They should time their decisions to buy or refinance so that they get the best possible rate and stay within their budgets.

For excellent information on the mortgage industry and current market conditions: Mortgage Bankers Association of America www.mbaa.org Mortgage instruments are part of the long-term U.S. debt markets, otherwise known as the “capital markets.” Interest rates in these markets are driven by fluctuations in several important economic and inflation indicators. Ironically, bad news for the economy may be good news for the fixed-income markets if interest rates decline. x Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Considered the nation's report card, this report has four components: 1) consumption spending; 2) investment spending; 3) government spending; and 4) net exports. Interest rates in the fixedincome (bond and mortgage) markets react favorably to a weak GDP report. A strong report

heightens inflation fears and concerns that the Federal Reserve Board (“The Fed”) might intervene and raise interest rates. Consumer Price Index (CPI). Generally regarded as the most important measure of inflation, it compares prices for a fixed list of goods and services (domestic and imported) to a base period. The bond market watches the CPI carefully. A higher-than-expected CPI is considered inflationary and will cause bond prices to fall and yields to rise. Producer Price Index (PPI). Unlike the CPI, the PPI does not measure services. Instead, it measures only wholesale prices at the producer level, for consumer goods and capital equipment. Larger than expected increases in the PPI spook the bond market due to fears that inflation may be on the horizon. Employment Cost Index (ECI). The ECI measures the growth of wages and benefits. Although it is not a very timely report, the bond market still looks here for inflationary trends and will react negatively to a strong report. Payroll Jobs. Even though it is subject to numerous and constant revisions, increasing trends in this report are considered inflationary by the bond market. They will cause prices to slump and interest rates to rise. Unemployment Rate. This report covers information on employment, average workweek, hourly earnings and unemployment. This is a lagging indicator, meaning it rises or falls following a change in economic activity. Increasing unemployment translates to inflationary pressure in the eyes of the bond market, resulting in rising interest rates. Housing Starts. The bond market keeps a very close eye on housing activity because it is a leading indicator. An increase in housing activity triggers economic growth. In a low interest rate environment, housing activity will likely be strong. If the report is stronger than expected, interest rates will rise. National Association of Purchasing Managers (NAPM). This survey is a bird’s eye view of manufacturing activity during the previous 30 days. About 250 companies in 20 industries in all 50 states participate in the survey. The benchmark index is 50, so that a reading over 50 indicates expanding economic activity. This is likely to nudge interest rates upward. Retail Sales. This is a good barometer of consumer spending, which is the consumption

spending component of the GDP. Strong retail sales are bearish (negative) for the bond market, pulling prices down and pushing interest rates up. Durable Goods Orders. This is another leading indicator of economic activity. An increase in orders leads to an increase in production. Declines in orders are followed by a build-up of inventories and ultimately a drop-off in production. The report is constantly revised and generally analyzed on a six-month moving average. Again, a strong report does not bode well for interest rates. Personal Income and Consumption Expenditures. This report provides market forecasters with insight into the future spending habits of consumers. A strong report suggests rapid economic growth and causes concern that the Fed might tighten monetary policy, instigating a bond market sell-off. Industrial Production and Capacity Utilization. Industrial production is an index that measures the physical volume of the output of the nation’s manufacturing sector. Capacity utilization measures how much of the nation’s total plant capacity is currently active in the production of goods. The bond market prefers a sluggish production pace and weak capacity utilization. Strong numbers in either one of these reports is bearish for the bond market. Existing and New Home Sales. Of moderate importance to the bond market, these reports are somewhat volatile and generally analyzed on a three-month moving average basis.

C. Primary Market Players Mortgages are originated by mortgage companies (bankers and brokers), commercial banks and thrifts. Whereas a mortgage banker can originate, fund and sell the mortgage loan, a mortgage broker can only originate the loan. It must transfer the loan to another entity that either funds and sells the loan or retains it for its own portfolio. A mortgage banker may be a retail or wholesale lender. Retail mortgage bankers solicit builders and Realtors directly, whereas wholesale mortgage bankers solicit only brokers. There are many other ancillary industries that participate in the mortgage loan process: x Real estate agents. Agents assist consumers in the buying and/or selling of a home and sometimes refer their clients to a mortgage loan officer. x Closing agents. These agents serve the role of an impartial third party in the closing process and


x x x

may be in the offices of attorneys or escrow companies. Title insurance companies. They insure that the title to the subject property is clear, and then issue a title insurance policy for the lender. Appraisers. They evaluate market value of the property for the lender and consumer. Credit reporting agencies. These agencies research credit records of consumers and provide information as to judgments, bankruptcies, late payments and liens. Private mortgage insurance companies (PMI). They insure the lender against default by the borrower. PMI is required only when the loan principal exceeds 80% of the appraised value or sales price, whichever is lower. The borrower pays for this as a part of the monthly payment. Hazard insurance companies (property and casualty insurance). This insurance is required by the lender for the amount of the outstanding loan balance to insure the property against loss by fire or other disasters.

D. For The Consumer Obtaining financing for a home is an inherently complicated and sometimes frustrating process. Many problems may arise between the initial application and final loan closing. Some important questions to ask yourself before applying for a loan are: x How long do I intend to live in the house? x How much cash do I have for a down payment? x How much cash will I have left over after buying or refinancing the home? x Am I worried about rising interest rates? x How are my income, job and credit histories? x Will my income and job remain stable or improve over the life of the loan? x Am I going to make extra principal payments to pay off the loan early? Knowing answers to at least some of these questions will make life easier for you when it is time to talk with a loan officer or fill out an application. The more informed and prepared you are, the less frustrating the process will be. Doing your homework will pay off. Fees. Borrowers with good credit should not have to pay more than 1% of the mortgage amount in broker’s fees. Lower fees may be available from many sources, including Bank of America and


Ditech. Beware of a “yield spread to premium.” This is a fee passed back to the broker by the lender as a result of a higher interest rate being charged. Ask your broker to disclose the yield spread premium, if any, and ask that it be removed from the deal if it is proposed. This should result in a lower interest rate for you. (Not all mortgage brokers attempt to charge this premium.) Lock Your Loan. A lock is simply the lender’s agreement to stick to the proposed terms of the loan. This includes interest rate, term of years and the amount of the loan. A lock gives you a guaranteed interest rate so that you are protected against rising interest rates until you close the deal. A lock differs from a loan commitment in that a commitment is the lender’s promise to make you a loan, but not necessarily at any particular terms. You should shop lenders for the best interest rate, lowest points, fees and other up-front charges. When you receive a quote that you are comfortable with, obtain a written agreement from the lender stating the terms. Make sure that the rate is locked long enough to get your loan closed, which can take 30 days or more. Remember to keep an eye on interest rates and the aforementioned economic indicators while your loan is in process. If interest rates fall before you have closed, you should be able to negotiate a lower rate, even if your current lock has not expired. E. Types of Mortgage Loans Fixed-Rate Loans. A common type of mortgage loan, these are usually offered on a 15-, 20- 30- or even 40-year term. The interest rate remains fixed for the life of the loan. Monthly payments may fluctuate because of monthly escrow account analyses covering insurance and taxes, but the interest rate does not vary. The loan is amortized so that it is paid in full upon maturity. During the early years of the loan, the majority of the payment is applied to interest. As the loan is paid down, more is applied to principal. Conforming Loans. A “conforming” loan is one that meets all of the requirements of Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac (government-sponsored agencies that underwrite and guarantee mortgages). These requirements include a 20% down payment (or a lower down payment combined with mortgage insurance), a mortgage amount that is below a certain maximum, well-documented income of the buyer and monthly debt payments for the buyer that do not


exceed set ratios. Since Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac buy mortgages, repackage them and sell them to investors, it is important that they are able to state that their mortgages meet these set guidelines in order to create a known standard. 30- or 40-Year Term. A 30-year fixed-rate loan is a good option if you plan on living in your home for a long time. Monthly payments are more reasonable since they are spread out over a long period of time. The 40-year mortgage is growing in popularity, but it hinders the borrower’s amortization of the principal and may not be a good business decision unless making slightly lower monthly payments is of great importance. 15- and 20-Year Term. A shorter-term loan offers the opportunity to own your home free-and-clear in a substantially shorter amount of time. The interest rate is usually an eighth to a quarter lower than that of a 30-year note. While the monthly payment is higher because the loan must be paid off in a shorter amount of time, the total interest paid is significantly less than that of a 30-year loan. Jumbo Mortgage. Any loan, fixed or ARM, exceeding the maximum loan amount that is set by Fannie Mae for conforming loans. This benchmark loan amount is reviewed and adjusted annually. Adjustable Rate Mortgages (ARM). Amortized over 15 or 30 years, ARM loans offer a lower initial interest rate, but the trade-off is the potential for a higher interest rate in future years. The interest rate adjusts periodically based upon an established index and a fixed margin. Most ARMs have caps on how much the interest rate can adjust, and these vary from lender to lender and program to program. Some ARM programs may also give you the option to convert to a fixed rate at a given point in time. Payments may go up or down depending on where interest rates are when the adjustment date arrives, usually every twelve months. You should feel comfortable that your income will increase to handle any rise in monthly payments before choosing this type of loan. The ARM has two caps. One sets the maximum amount the interest rate can rise on any given adjustment date. The other cap puts a ceiling on the amount the interest rate can adjust over the life of the loan. Interest rates for ARMs commonly are benchmarked by short-term U.S. Treasury debt interest rates or the LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate).


Hybrid Loans. Some ARM programs may have an initial fixed rate period. These “hybrid ARMs” offer several years of fixed payments before there is an interest rate adjustment. These loans are generally offered with three-, five-, seven- or ten-year introductory fixed rate periods, with an adjustment for each year thereafter. Several variations on the hybrid theme are used. Hybrid ARM loans may protect the borrower against sudden rate increases during the early years of the loan. Option Loans. Option mortgages enable the borrower to select, each month, the amount that will be paid on the mortgage. Typically, the borrower’s choices include some amount of interest-only, an amount based on 30-year amortization, or an amount based on 15-year amortization. Second Mortgages. These are commonly used to reduce the amount of cash down payment or to circumvent the mortgage insurance requirement. For example, instead of obtaining a 90% loan, a consumer might get an 80% first lien and a 10% second. The buyer will then avoid the cost of mortgage insurance on the first lien; however, he or she will pay a higher rate of interest on the second lien than on the first, because second liens are riskier. Meanwhile, the borrower will be able to claim interest paid on both the first and second liens as tax deductions, while mortgage insurance premiums are not tax deductible. Mortgage insurance is only required on loans exceeding 80% loan to value. Balloon Loans. These loans have payments based on a 30-year amortization schedule, but are due and payable usually after five or seven years. Interest rates and monthly payments are lower than a 15-year or 30-year fixed-rate loan. At maturity, the borrower has the option to convert to a fully amortizing loan based on current principal and interest rates, or else pay off the loan. Subprime Loans. Until mid-2007, there was a large market for borrowers with little or damaged credit. These loans generally cannot be sold through the conforming conduits like FNMA or FHLMC. The rates on these loans are higher than “A” credit-rated loans (sometimes substantially higher, depending on the circumstances of the borrower), simply because the borrower has no choice and no negotiating power due to his or her credit problems.


Alt-A Mortgages/ Low-Documentation Mortgages. These are loans made to home buyers with good or prime credit. However, they do not satisfy the requirements of conforming loans due to one or more specific factors. These factors may include a loan-tovalue ratio in excess of 80% that is not covered by mortgage insurance; a lack of verification of the borrower’s income, employment and assets; a higherthan-normal ratio of mortgage payment to total monthly expenses; or other unusual factors. These loans typically require higher interest rates. They are particularly popular with buyers who desire to make a small down payment or who are unwilling or unable to document their financial status and income. Alt-A stands for “alternative documentation”. Construction or “Interim” Loans. These loans cover a new property while under construction and are generally made to qualified building companies. Interim loans are paid off at the time of the actual closing of the purchase by the homebuyer, who uses a “permanent” mortgage. Two-, Three- or Four- Family Home Loans. Conforming and non-conforming mortgages are available for multi-family dwellings up to four units. Larger properties require “commercial” mortgages. Commercial Mortgages. Commercial mortgages cover large, multi-family properties such as apartment buildings, as well as office buildings, shopping centers and industrial properties. The rules vary greatly from loan to loan and differ from home loan rules. Reverse Mortgage. A reverse mortgage enables older homeowners (aged 62+) to convert part of the equity in their homes into tax-free income without having to sell the home, give up title, or take on a new monthly mortgage payment. The lender provides either a line of credit, steady monthly payments or one upfront payment to the borrower. In return, the lender receives a right to proceeds upon the eventual sale of the home, typically after the borrower's death. There are no monthly payments to be made by the borrower, and there are no income or health requirements. Sometimes called a reverse annuity mortgage or RAM. Government Loan Programs. FHA Loans. Sponsored by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), this


program allows borrowers who would not qualify under conventional guidelines to obtain a loan. Down payment requirements are less strict (3% to 5% of the loan amount). FHA maximum loan amounts vary according to the average sales price of a home for a specific region. The loans are guaranteed by the Government National Mortgage Association, which insures the lender against default of the borrower. VA Loans. The VA (Veterans Administration) guarantee allows qualified veterans to purchase a home with no down payment. Underwriting guidelines are more flexible than those of FHA or conventional loans, but there is a maximum amount that the loan cannot exceed. RHS (Rural Housing Service). Loans sponsored by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which offer low interest rates and low down payments for low-tomoderate income persons who live in rural areas. State and Local Bond Programs. A number of states sponsor programs to help first-time homebuyers qualify for mortgages. Other state and local programs may also offer closing cost and down payment assistance. Affordable Housing Loans. For consumers with good credit history who wish to own a home but lack the means to produce the cash for the down payment and closing costs, Fannie Mae sponsors several loan programs that can assist them. Such loans are sometimes sponsored by local city or county governments. Such programs may include a Mortgage Credit Certificate (MCC) that enables the buyer to receive a tax credit for part of the interest payments. Underwriting ratios are more flexible, allowing the borrower to use a higher percentage of his or her monthly income for housing expense. Ask a local lender for details on these programs or consult FNMA’s web site for further information, www.homepath.com.

Rate on new issues within period; bank-discount basis. Yields on the more actively traded issues adjusted to constant maturities by the Department of the Treasury. The 30-year Treasury constant maturity series was discontinued on February 18, 2002, and reintroduced on February 9, 2006. 3 Aaa is the highest rating given to bonds. Baa are medium-grade bonds, not highly protected nor poorly secured. Beginning December 7, 2001, data for corporate Aaa series are industrial bonds only. 4 Effective rate (in the primary market) on conventional mortgages, reflecting fees and charges as well as contract rate and assuming, on the average, repayment at end of 10 years. Rates beginning January 1973 not strictly comparable with prior rates. 5 Discount window borrowing for primary credit and discount rate (adjustment credit). The rate for primary credit replaced the rate for adjustment credit under an amendment to the Federal Reserve Board’s Regulation A, effective January 9, 2003. 6 Since July 19, 1975, the daily effective rate is an average of the rates on a given day weighted by the volume of transactions at these rates. Prior to that date, the daily effective rate was the rate considered most representative of the day’s transactions, usually the one at which most transactions occurred. 2

* As of August 2008. 1

Interest rates are annual percentage rates (APR) as specified by the Federal Reserve's Regulation Z. Interest rates for new-car loans and personal loans at commercial banks are simple unweighted averages of each bank's most common rate charged during the first calendar week of the middle month of each quarter. For credit card accounts, the rate for all accounts is the stated APR averaged across all credit card accounts at all reporting banks.

Chapter 4 THE BANKING & LENDING 300: WHO THEY ARE AND HOW THEY WERE CHOSEN Includes Indexes by Company Name, Industry & Location, And a Complete Table of Sales, Profits and Ranks

The companies chosen to be listed in PLUNKETT’S BANKING, MORTGAGES & CREDIT INDUSTRY ALMANAC comprise a unique list. THE BANKING & LENDING 300 (the actual count is 294 companies) were chosen specifically for their dominance in the many facets of the banking and lending industry in which they operate. Complete information about each firm can be found in the “Individual Profiles,” beginning at the end of this chapter. These profiles are in alphabetical order by company name. THE BANKING & LENDING 300 includes leading companies from all parts of North America, Latin America, Europe and Asia/Pacific, and from all banking and credit industry segments including regional, national and global banking; savings associations; mortgages; business lending; credit cards; and consumer loans. Simply stated, the list contains 294 of the largest, most successful, fastest growing firms in the world in banking and related industries. To be included in our list, the firms had to meet the following criteria:

1) Generally, these are corporations based in the U.S., however, the headquarters of 72 firms are located in other nations. 2) Prominence, or a significant presence, in banking, lending and supporting fields. (See the following Industry Codes section for a complete list of types of businesses that are covered). 3) The companies in THE BANKING & LENDING 300 do not have to be exclusively in the banking field. 4) Financial data and vital statistics must have been available to the editors of this book, either directly from the company being written about or from outside sources deemed reliable and accurate by the editors. A small number of companies that we would like to have included are not listed because of a lack of sufficient, objective data.

INDUSTRY LIST, WITH CODES This book refers to the following list of unique industry codes, based on the 1997 NAIC code system (NAIC is used by many analysts as a replacement for older SIC codes because NAIC is more specific to today’s industry sectors).

TYPES OF BUSINESS: Agricultural Banking Commercial Banking Credit Cards

Agricultural Bank of China (ABC) has traditionally been one of the four large state-controlled banks of mainland China. It is the last of the big four to restructure as a joint stock bank and issue stock to the public. Finalizing these steps will depend on serious cooperation from, and an injection of new capital by, the government. In response to urging by the government during 2007, the bank has begun taking the necessary steps in preparation for going public, including completing audits and exploring options for restructuring its corporate governance and human resources departments. ABC was initially set up in 1979 to distribute government funds to support China’s 800 million farmers, as well as to support rural industry in China generally. However, in light of the impending restructuring and modernization, ABC is shifting into more traditional commercial banking operations, and currently offers customers telephone, online and selfservice banking, as well as the Kins Credit Card. ABC will continue to expand its commercial banking operations, and plans to become fully public by 2010. During 2007, the bank operated approximately 24,452 branches in mainland China, as well as overseas branches in Hong Kong and Singapore and representative offices in London, Tokyo and New York; and it reported over $886.9 billion in assets, $774.02 billion in deposits, and $510.15 billion in outstanding loans.

TYPES OF BUSINESS: Automobile Financing

AmeriCredit Corp. is an independent auto finance company. The firm purchases auto finance contracts generally without recourse from franchised and select independent automobile dealerships. The company targets consumers unable to obtain financing from banks, credit unions and manufacturer captive auto finance companies. Funding of its auto lending activities is obtained primarily through the transfer of loans in securitizations transactions. AmeriCredit services its loan portfolio at regional centers using automated loan servicing and collection systems. The company works with almost 10,000 automobile dealers, develops relationships with these dealers and underwrites their contracts. Approximately 15% of the firm’s portfolio is prime, 28% is near prime and 57% is subprime. The firm’s servicing activities consist primarily of collecting and processing customer payments; responding to customer inquiries; initiating contact with customers who are delinquent in payment of an installment; maintaining the security interest in the financed vehicle; monitoring physical damage insurance coverage of the financed vehicle; and arranging for the repossession of financed vehicles, liquidation of collateral and pursuit of deficiencies when necessary. In January 2007, the company acquired Long Beach Acceptance Corp., a provider of auto finance products primarily to consumers with near-prime credit bureau scores, for about $282 million. During 2007, the firm sold its remaining interest in DealerTrack Holdings, Inc. During the 2008 fiscal year, the firm discontinued providing loans directly to customers buying new and used vehicles and provides lease financing through its dealership network. In April 2008, the firm announced a $2 billion forward purchase agreement with Deutsche Bank AG, in which Deutsche Bank will purchase triple-A rated asset-backed securities offered on the subprime AmeriCredit Automobile Receivables Trust securitization platform and receive 7.5 million shares of AmeriCredit. The company offers its employees medical, dental and vision insurance; life, AD&D and disability insurance; an employee assistance program; and tuition reimbursement.

Capital One Auto Finance, Inc. (COAF), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Capital One Financial Corp. and a direct operating subsidiary of Capital One, National Association, is one of the largest Internet vehicle lenders in the U.S. The company provides customers from various credit backgrounds a variety of loans which it then securitizes and resells.

Its online lending process allows shoppers to apply for loans and receive a response typically within 15 minutes of submitting their application. Buyers that qualify may receive a financing offer, valid for 30 to 45 days depending on the loan product, as early as the next day. COAF also offers pre-approved loans through direct mail, offering special financing events and services through a network of partner auto dealerships for consumers with Capital One pre-approved letters. All vehicle financing is offered through the firm's proprietary no-obligation Blank Check Auto Loan program which can be used for up to the approved loan amount with no down payment required.

TYPES OF BUSINESS: ATM Network Management ATM Process Outsourcing Primary Branding Programs

Cardtronics, Inc. is a single-source provider of automated teller machine (ATM) solutions to large, nationally-known retail merchants as well as smaller retailers and operators of facilities such as shopping malls and airports. Cardtronics operates over 32,200 ATMs throughout the U.S., the U.K. and Mexico. Over 10,000 of the company’s ATMs are under contract with banks for the placement of the banks’ logos on the machines. The company also operates the Allpoint network, one of the largest surcharge-free ATM networks in the U.S. based on the number of participating ATMs. Cardtronics deploys and operates its ATMs under two types of arrangements with its merchant customers: companyowned and merchant-owned. Under company-owned arrangements, which represent roughly 64% of its ATM network, Cardtronics provides the ATM and is typically responsible for all aspects of its operation, including transaction processing, procuring cash, supplies and telecommunications as well as routine and technical maintenance. Under merchant-owned arrangements, which represent roughly 36% of its ATM network, the merchant owns the ATM and is usually responsible for providing cash and performing simple maintenance tasks, while Cardtronics provides more complex maintenance services, transaction processing and connection to electronic funds transfer networks. The company plans to focus its growth on expanding the number of company-owned ATMs in its network. Cardtronics targets convenience stores, gas stations, grocery stores, airports and major regional and national retail outlets for its ATM locations. It has merchant agreements with such retailers as Chevron, Costco, Safeway, Target and Walgreens. In July 2007, Cardtronics acquired the ATM business of 7-Eleven, Inc. for $135 million, which included roughly 5,500 ATMs located in 7-Eleven stores throughout the U.S., of which roughly 2,000 are advanced-functionality Vcom branded financial self-service kiosks. In December 2007, the company completed its initial public offering.

TYPES OF BUSINESS: Payday Lending Calling Cards

Check Into Cash, Inc. (CIC) is a leading provider of payday advances.

It is not intended as a long-term source of credit, and many people use the service to finance unexpected costs such as medical bills or car repairs. The company operates over 1,270 lending centers in 31 states. Integral to CIC’s marketing strategy is to convince consumers that a payday advance is a responsible and dignified solution to short-term money problems, providing an alternative to pawn shops and borrowing from friends and family for those who have no credit or bad credit. The firm provides employees with medical, dental and life insurance, bonus opportunities and flexible hours. Some employees are also eligible for tuition assistance.

Chrysler Financial Services LLC, formerly DaimlerChrysler Financial Services Americas, LLC, serves as the Canadian, Mexican and U.S. headquarters for Chrysler Holding LLC, which is also the parent company of Chrysler LLC. The company provides consumer and dealership automotive financing for Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep vehicles at more than 3,500 dealers in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, Puerto Rico and Venezuela. Among the services offered are retail and lease financing for vehicles; dealer inventory and other financing needs; dealer property and casualty insurance; and dealership facility development management, primarily for Chrysler dealers and their customers.

TYPES OF BUSINESS: Payday Loans Check Cashing

CNG Financial Corp. is the parent company of Check ‘n Go, a provider of short term loans, check cashing and other services. Through over 1,350 locations in 30 states and Washington, D.C., the company allows customers to write postdated checks for which it will provide cash. Since no credit check is required, CNG’s services are available to people who may otherwise be unable to obtain loans, typically working-class individuals. However, the structure of Check ‘n Go’s otherwise unsecured loans ensures that only those with both a checking account and a regular source of income are issued loans. Advances of this type are usually from $50 to $500 when made from a storefront and between $100 and $1,000 when made online. Advances come with a finance fee, the amount of which is typically the maximum amount allowed by the law of the state in which they are issued. Check ‘n Go uses the services of a number of banks around the country, through which its loans are offered. Online loans are made by First Bank of Delaware; North Carolina loans are made by County Bank of Rehoboth Beach, Delaware; Pennsylvania loans are made by Reliabank Dakota in Watertown, South Dakota; and Texas loans are made by Midwest R&S Corporation or NCP Finance Limited Partnership. The company offers its employees benefits that include health, dental and vision insurance; a 401(k) plan; and paid vacation time.

Consumer Portfolio Services, Inc. (CPS) is a specialty finance company engaged in purchasing and servicing retail automobile contracts originated primarily by franchised automobile dealers and, to a lesser extent, by select independent dealers in the U.S. in the sale of new and used automobiles, light trucks and passenger vans. Through its automobile contract purchases, the company provides indirect financing to the customers of dealers, who have limited credit histories, low incomes or past credit problems. The firm serves as an alternative source of financing for dealers, facilitating sales to customers who otherwise might not be able to obtain financing from traditional sources, such as commercial banks, credit unions and the captive finance companies affiliated with major automobile manufacturers. Instead of lending money directly to customers, CPS purchases automobile contracts from dealers under several different financing programs. The company purchases automobile contracts with the intention of financing them on a long-term basis through securitizations. Securitizations are transactions in which the firm sells a specified pool of contracts to a special purpose entity, which in turn issues asset-backed securities to fund the purchase of the pool of contracts from the company. CPS has 134 marketing representatives and is a party to dealer agreements with over 10,255 dealers in 46 states. In 2007, 84% of automobile contracts purchased under the firm’s programs consisted of financing for used cars and 16% consisted of financing for new cars. The company offers its employees benefits that include a 401(k) plan; tuition reimbursement; medical, dental and vision insurance; and employee assistance.

Countrywide Financial Corp, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bank of America Corporation, is engaged in mortgage lending and other real estate finance-related businesses, including mortgage banking; banking and mortgage warehouse lending; securities; and insurance underwriting. The company operates in three segments: mortgage banking, banking and insurance. In the mortgage banking segment, the firm originates, purchases, sells and services non-commercial mortgage loans nationwide. Mortgage banking products include home loans, refinancing, home equity lines of credit, construction loans and reverse mortgages. Through the banking division, Countrywide takes deposits and invests in mortgage loans and home equity lines of credit, sourced primarily through its mortgage banking operation as well as through purchases from nonaffiliates. The segment also offers short-term secured financing to mortgage lenders. Banking products include certificates of deposit, money market accounts, savings accounts and credit cards. The insurance division offers property, casualty, life and disability insurance as an underwriter and as an insurance agency. Insurance products include homeowners/condo, auto, home warranty, renters, life, commercial and other products. Countrywide was a major influence in the creation of subprime mortgages. After massive losses suffered in 2007, the firm agreed to be acquired by Bank of America. In 2007, Countrywide laid off approximately 11,665 employees due to the subprime mortgage crisis. In July 2008, Bank of America completed the acquisition of the company for approximately $4 billion. Following the acquisition, Countrywide ceased offering subprime mortgages and certain other non-traditional mortgages.

Credit Acceptance Corp. (CAC) provides auto loans to consumers, regardless of their credit history. The company’s product is offered through a nationwide network of automobile dealers who benefit from sales of vehicles to consumers who otherwise could not obtain financing; from repeat and referral sales generated by these same customers; and from sales to customers responding to advertisement for the firm’s product, but who actually end up qualifying for traditional financing. The firm’s target market is a select group of the more than 70,000 independent and franchised automobile dealers in the US. CAC also services the loans and provides dealers with risk assessment, fraud alert, computerized skip tracing, sales training and other services. Dealers that use CAC can offer car buyers disability insurance, vehicle service contracts, collateral protection and credit life. The company’s online credit application processing system provides automobile dealerships with the ability to grant credit approval in less than 30 seconds, 24 hours a day and 365 days a year. The company derives revenue from finance charges, which are comprised of servicing fees, fees earned from the company’s third party ancillary product offerings and fees associated with the dealer loan including term extensions fees; license fees, which represent month fees charged to dealer-partners for access to the firm’s Internet-based credit approval processing system; and other income, which primarily consists of remarketing charges, fees charged to dealerpartners for enrolling in the company’s program, interest income on secured financing and fees for marketing materials. The company offers its employees medical, dental, life and disability insurance; a 401(k) plan; flexible spending accounts; tuition assistance; and an employee assistance plan.

TYPES OF BUSINESS: Mortgage Origination Direct Lending Online Services

Ditech.com, a business unit of GMAC Mortgage Corporation, is a leader in the direct lending industry. As a direct lender, customers are offered mortgages without the intermediary of a broker. The company offers a variety of products, including first mortgages, fixed-rate second mortgages, variable equity lines of credit and no-closing-cost-option equity seconds. Its online capabilities allow customers to communicate with loan agents from home, work or on the road and provide 24-hour access to information, loan calculator tools and customer service. Customers are asked to take part in a five step process which involves determining the customer’s purchasing power; the customer’s goals and situation; and choosing a loan appropriate to the home they wish to purchase. The firm has found that its flat-fee program, which opened in the late 1990s, is a popular solution for customers wary of hidden fees when refinancing. Within the first 18 months of launching the program, ditech.com had signed up over 30,000 customers for the $395 flat-fee program. The firm’s ditechatwork.com is designed to be a financing program used by employers as an employee benefit resource, entitling employees to discounts on mortgage rates integrated in their benefits packages. In May 2007, the firm launched its Real Life Plan, which combines a mortgage or refinance with a home equity line of credit and the Ditech Equity Rewards MasterCard, to help pay down the loan principal with use. In October 2007, due to market conditions, the firm announced plans to cut approximately 30% of the employees working at the firm’s Costa Mesa, California, headquarters, and also eliminate about 20 jobs in its Phoenix, Arizona location.

TYPES OF BUSINESS: Banking Mortgages Insurance

Doral Financial Corporation, based in Puerto Rico, specializes in providing selected consumer financial services through its mortgage origination offices, bank branches and full-service broker/dealer subsidiary. Doral operates in four segments: Banking, Mortgage Banking, Insurance Agency and Institutional Securities. Through its principal banking subsidiary, Doral Bank PR (Puerto Rico), Doral accepts deposits from the general public and institutions; obtains borrowings; originates and invests in loans (primarily residential real estate mortgage loans); invests in mortgagebacked securities and other investment securities; and offers traditional banking services. Approximately 94% of Doral Bank’s loan portfolio is secured by real estate. Doral Bank operates 41 branches in Puerto Rico and has $7.6 billion in assets. The firm’s Mortgage Banking segment relates to the business of its Doral Financial holding company. Prior to 2007, the holding company and its subsidiaries were engaged in mortgage originations, securitization and related activities. As part of its business transformation effort, Doral transferred its mortgage origination and servicing platforms to Doral Bank. The firm’s mortgage origination business is now conducted by Doral Mortgage LLC, a subsidiary of Doral Bank. Subsidiary Doral Insurance Agency offers property, casualty, life and title insurance primarily to its mortgage loan customers. During 2007, the firm’s Doral Securities subsidiary withdrew its license as broker dealer and its operations are subsequently limited to acting as a coinvestment manager to a local fixed-income investment company. Doral intends to assign this contract to Doral Bank. In July 2007, Doral Bank NY sold its 11 branches in New York City to New York Commercial Bank, the commercial bank subsidiary of New York Community Bancorp for approximately $9.8 million. In February 2008, the company acquired the CitiSeguros PR Retail Bank insurance portfolio, adding over 10,000 new clients with insurance policies in personal and commercial lines, including health, disability, auto, property and casualty.

TYPES OF BUSINESS: Credit Card Receivables Collections

Encore Capital Group, Inc. is a systems-driven purchaser and manager of charged-off consumer receivable portfolios and, through its wholly owned subsidiary Ascension Capital Group, Inc., a provider of bankruptcy services to the finance industry. The firm acquires receivable portfolios at deep discounts from their face values using its proprietary valuation process that is based upon an analysis of the individual consumer attributes of the underlying accounts. The firm’s receivable portfolios consist primarily of unsecured, charged-off domestic consumer credit card, auto loan deficiency and telecom receivables purchased from national financial institutions, major retail credit corporations, telecom companies and resellers of such portfolios. Encore determines the purchase price of a portfolio by evaluating many different variables, including stratification and analysis of critical portfolio attributes, such as the number of agencies previously attempting to collect the receivables in the portfolio, the average balance of the receivables, number of days since charge off, payments since charge off and the locations of the debtors. Unlike collection agencies that typically have only a specified period of time to recover a debt, the company’s collection time horizon is much longer and allows for more flexibility in establishing payment programs. Encore’s collection strategies include the use of a nationwide network of collection attorneys to pursue legal action; outbound calling, driven by proprietary predictive software, by its own collection workforce located at its three domestic call centers and its international call center in India; the use of multiple third party collection agencies; direct mail campaigns coordinated by its in-house marketing group; the transfer of accounts to a credit card provider; and the sale of accounts. In September 2007, Encore exited its healthcare purchasing and internal collection activities. Encore offers its employees discounted fitness center memberships, an employee assistance program, flexible spending accounts and medical, dental, vision and life insurance.

TYPES OF BUSINESS: Mortgages, Secondary Market Mortgage-Related Securities Financial Software

Fannie Mae is a government-sponsored enterprise chartered by the U.S. Congress under the name Federal National Mortgage Association. The firm’s activities include providing funds to mortgage lenders through purchase of mortgage assets and issuing and guaranteeing mortgage-related securities that facilitate the flow of additional funds into the mortgage market. Fannie Mae does not offer mortgages directly to homebuyers. The firm operates exclusively in the secondary mortgage market securities from primary market institutions, such as commercial banks, savings and loan associations; mortgage companies; securities dealers; and other investors. The company operates in three segments: single-family credit guaranty; housing and community development; and capital markets. The single-family credit guaranty segment works with lender customers to securitize single-family mortgage loans into Fannie Mae mortgagebacked securities (MBS) and to facilitate the purchase of single-family mortgage loans. The housing and community development segment works with lender customers to securitize multifamily mortgage loans into Fannie Mae MBS and to facilitate the purchase of multifamily mortgage loans. The segment also helps to expand the supply of affordable housing by investing in rental and for-sale housing projects, including rental housing that is eligible for federal low-income housing tax credits. The capital markets segment manages the firm’s investment activity in mortgage loans and mortgage-related securities and has responsibility for managing the company’s assets and liabilities and its liquidity and capital positions. Fannie Mae’s Desktop Underwriter software, used to process mortgage loans, reduces approval time from four weeks to four minutes. In September 2008, after suffering devastating losses in it mortgage portfolio, Fannie Mae was placed in conservatorship by the U.S. federal government, which has taken effective control of the company. Over the near term, its focus will be on less aggressive lending, attempting to facilitate stability in the housing market and workouts of existing mortgages. The company offers its employees medical and dental insurance; an employee stock ownership plan; an employee stock purchase plan; life insurance; a retirement plan; a 401(k) plan; and education assistance.

TYPES OF BUSINESS: Mortgages Agricultural Real Estate Loans Rural Housing Mortgage Loans

Federal Agricultural Mortgage Corporation, known as Farmer Mac, is a secondary market for agricultural real estate and rural housing mortgage loans. Congress created the company in 1987 to improve the availability of mortgage credit to America's farmers, ranchers and rural homeowners, businesses and communities. Farmer Mac does this through providing liquidity and lending capacity to agricultural mortgage lenders by purchasing newly originated and preexisting mortgage loans directly from lenders; guaranteeing securities backed by eligible mortgage loans, referred to as Farmer Mac I Guaranteed Securities; exchanging newly issued Farmer Mac I Guaranteed Securities for newly originated and seasoned eligible mortgage loans that back those securities in so-called swap transactions; and issuing long-term standby purchase commitments for both newly originated and seasoned mortgage loans. The firm does this through two programs: Farmer Mac I and Farmer Mac II. Under Farmer Mac I, Farmer Mac purchases eligible mortgage loans, securitizes purchased loans and guarantees the timely payment of principal and interest on the securities backed by the loans. Under Farmer Mac II, the company purchases the guaranteed portions of loans guaranteed by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and guarantees securities backed by those USDA-guaranteed portions purchased by Farmer Mac. Although created by Congress, Farmer Mac is a publicly traded corporation owned by its stockholders.

TYPES OF BUSINESS: Mortgages Loan Origination Loan Purchasing

First Mortgage Corporation (FMC) is a Californian mortgage banking firm. The company originates, purchases, warehouses, sells and services mortgage loans for owneroccupied residences, principally in California. FMC provides seven different loan programs. Its conventional loans are mortgages that are not insured or guaranteed by any governmental agency, and thus may be eligible for purchase on the secondary mortgage market. These loans are available with either fixed or adjustable interest rates and individualized repayment terms. FHA loans are originated by FMC and insured by the Federal Housing Administration. These loans have either fixed or adjustable interest rates, with 30-year repayment terms. The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) determines the designated maximum loan amount. Jumbo or non-conforming loans are those that exceed the maximum amount allowed for conventional loans and may be up to $1 million. These are either a fixed or adjustable rate mortgages, with parameters varying depending on the down payment and actual loan amount so terms are individualized. In addition to these, the company provides VA loans and three California-specific programs. The VA loans, guaranteed by the Veteran’s Association, are for those who have served or are currently in the U.S. armed forces that meet eligibility requirements. They do not require a down payment. FMC is an approved lender to offer California’s Housing Finance Agency Homeownership Loan Program; it offers California State Teachers Retirement System loan programs; and it is approved lender of the California Public Employees Retirement System. These California programs allow certain public officials, teachers, judges and state legislators and homebuyers to benefit from low or no down payments, reduced fees and closing cost assistance. The firm originates mortgage loans through three primary sources: through referrals from real estate brokers and builders; through direct marketing; and through consumers interested in refinancing.

TYPES OF BUSINESS: Mortgages Portfolio Acquisitions

FirstCity Financial Corporation is a diversified financial services company headquartered in Waco, Texas, with offices throughout the U.S. and a presence in France, Mexico, Japan and South America. The company operates in a single segment, portfolio asset acquisition and resolution. FirstCity Financial purchases (either of its own accord or through investment avenues created with its business partner, Cargill Financial Services Corporation) and resolves portfolios of performing and non-performing commercial and consumer loans as well as other assets generally acquired at a discount to face value. Assets are acquired either in the form of pools or single assets and are only purchased after an extensive evaluation has been completed, including the local economic and market trends and an analysis of a given asset’s projected cash flow and sources of repayment such as the availability of third party guarantees. Sellers of portfolio assets have included financial institutions, insurance companies, other institutional lenders and government agencies such as the Small Business Association (SBA). The firm’s primary business strategy has historically been to invest in a wide variety of assets over a large geographic area, crossing traditional and foreign markets with private niche markets; the company plans to continue this trend. FirstCity’s core services include: debt purchases; due diligence underwriting; loan servicing and management; and debt obligation negotiation and resolution. FirstCity offers its employees a profit sharing and 401(k) plan; medical, dental and vision insurance; and life insurance.

TYPES OF BUSINESS: Mortgage Purchasing Credit Services

Freddie Mac, officially known as Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, is a public corporation chartered by the U.S. Congress to create a continuous flow of funds to mortgage lenders in support of home ownership and rental housing. The company purchases residential mortgages from lenders across the country and then packages them into securities. These securities are then sold to investors around the world. The firm also lends money directly to homebuyers. Freddie Mac retains some mortgages for its portfolio, which it pays for by issuing debt securities to investors. The firm purchases 30-year, 20-year, 15-year and 10-year fixed-rate single-family mortgages as well as adjustable-rate mortgages (ARMs) and balloon/reset mortgages. Freddie Mac's mortgage securitization business receives the mortgage payments from the original lender or loan servicer, deducts a timeliness guarantee fee, as well as some other fees, and passes the remainder on to the holder or holders of the mortgage-backed securities. The company also implements regular public risk-based capital stress tests, initiates public interest-rate risk sensitivity analyses, discloses credit risk sensitivity analyses and obtains annual ratings from nationally recognized statistical rating organizations. In September 2008, after suffering devastating losses in it mortgage portfolio, Freddie Mac was placed in conservatorship by the U.S. federal government, which has taken effective control of the company. Over the near term, its focus will be on less aggressive lending, attempting to facilitate stability in the housing market and workouts of existing mortgages. The company offers its employees medical, dental and vision insurance; life and AD&D insurance; short- and long-term disability insurance; business travel accident insurance; an employee assistance program; an educational assistance program; a 401(k) plan; a pension plan; and an employee stock purchase plan.

Guangdong Development Bank Co. Ltd. (GDB) is a leading bank in the Chinese province of Guangzhou, which boarders the island of Hong Kong. The bank has over 12 million consumer customers, 16,000 business customers and nearly $48 million in assets as well as over 500 branches, mostly in Guangdong. Besides banking, the firm offers credit cards, personal loans, foreign exchange and insurance. Citigroup, Inc. recently acquired 20% of the bank for approximately $3.06 billion, making Citigroup one of very few foreign companies with operating control of a Chinese bank. Citigroup purchased its share in GDB partly because it already had large investments in Hong Kong that should complement and be complemented by the Guangdong acquisition. The other foreign investor in the bank is IBM (International Business Machines), which owns 4.74%. China has capped the total foreign ownership in any domestic bank at 25% and single investor ownership is capped at 20%. Of its domestic investors, State Grid Corp. of China and China Life Insurance Company each own 20%; Puhua Investment owns 8%; and Citic Trust & Investment owns 12.85%.

TYPES OF BUSINESS: Banking-Savings & Loan Association Online Services Mortgage Products & Services Home Equity Lines of Credit Reversible Mortgages Investment Services

IndyMac Federal Bank, formerly IndyMac Bancorp, Inc., made dramatic headlines in July 2008 as the FDIC took over operations after a run on the bank. IndyMac was formerly one of America's largest writers of Alt A mortgages, that is, mortgages that required little evidence of a borrower's ability to repay. IndyMac conducted its business through two primary segments: Mortgage banking and thrift. The mortgage banking segment offered a suite of products including a variety of adjustable- and fixed-rate mortgages, as well as home equity lines of credit (HELOC) and reverse mortgages. It originated mortgage loans in all 50 U.S. states. It also sold loans in the secondary market after it has collected enough with similar characteristics, typically with a combined value between $100 million and $1.5 billion. In 2006, IndyMac sold approximately 88% of the mortgage loans it originated or purchased. The thrift segment principally invested in single-family residential mortgages; construction and builder construction financing; mortgage backed securities; and warehouse lines of credit, typically taken by small- to mid-sized bankers to finance mortgage loans. It generated income from the interest on these loans and securities, as well as from selling HELOCs and lot loans. Recently, IndyMac acquired Financial Freedom Holdings, Inc., a leading provider of reverse mortgages in the U.S, for approximately $84.6 million. Due to market conditions, in September 2007, the company had announced a planned reduction of nearly 10% of the company’s workforce, around 1,000 employees, as well as other changes. In July 2008, the company announced that it would stop making most types of homes loans and eliminate 3,800 of its 7,200 jobs. Over the near term, its focus will be on less aggressive lending, attempting to facilitate stability in the housing market and workouts of existing mortgages. Employees of IndyMac receive flexible spending accounts; medical, dental, vision and prescription drug benefits; an employee assistance program; charitable donation-matching; tuition reimbursement; paid time off; life insurance; selected telecommuting options; and a visit-your-child’s-school program.

J.P. Morgan Chase & Co., Inc. (JPM) is one of the largest banking institutions in the world, operating in more than 60 nations. As one of the strongest financial organizations in America, JPM was able to grow significantly in 2008 by acquiring the assets of two major companies during the global financial crisis. In March 2008, JPM purchased the assets of Bear Stearns & Co., one of America's largest investment banking firms. In September 2008, the firm acquired the assets of Washington Mutual (WAMU), one of the nation's largest savings associations, after federal regulators took control of WAMU due to massive losses in its mortgage portfolio. This was the largest bank failure ever in the U.S. These acquisitions boosted JPM to $2.03 trillion in assets and 5,410 branches in 23 states. In addition, it grew to 14,272 ATMs and 238,792 employees. JPM provides investment banking; financial services; financial transaction processing; asset and wealth management; and private equity services for consumers and businesses. Among JPM’s principal subsidiaries are JPMorgan Chase Bank, a national banking association; Chase Bank USA, the firm’s leading provider of credit cards; and J.P. Morgan Securities, an investment banking firm. The company is organized into six segments: Investment banking; retail finance; card services; commercial banking; treasury and securities; and asset management.

TYPES OF BUSINESS: Mortgage Portfolio Management

NovaStar Financial manages a portfolio of mortgages obtained prior to the 2007 closure of its lending operations as a subprime mortgage real estate investment trust (REIT). In February 2007, the company announced that it expected little, if any, taxable income between 2007 and 2011. During the third quarter of 2007, NovaStar’s REIT status was terminated. In order to reduce its debt, NovaStar cut roughly 500 jobs, representing about 37% of its workforce, in August 2007. Then in November 2007, the firm sold its mortgage servicing business to Saxon Mortgage Services, Inc. for $175 million. With the closure of two of its three former operating segments, namely mortgage portfolio lending and loan servicing, the firm now solely engages in mortgage portfolio management.

TYPES OF BUSINESS: Consumer Finance Manufactured Home Loans REIT

Origen Financial, Inc. is a national consumer manufactured home finance company. The company operates as a real estate investment trust (REIT) primarily through its subsidiary Origen Financial, L.L.C. Origen originates loans in 45 states and services loans in 47 states. It currently has a loan servicing portfolio of over 40,800 loans totaling approximately $1.8 billion. During 2007, the firm ceased originating new manufactured housing loans other than under third-party origination agreements. Although it has ceased originating new manufactured housing loans for its own account, Origen intends to maintain its origination platform, including its proprietary web-based delivery system known as Origen Focus. The company currently provides loan origination services for such companies as Affordable Residential Communities, Sun Communities, Hometown America and YES Communities, each of which is a nationwide owner-operator of manufactured housing communities. Under these arrangements, Origen commits to use its origination platform to originate manufactured housing loans for these third parties, which own the loans. The company additionally underwrites home-only loans using its internally-developed proprietary credit scoring system, TNG. It also underwrites mortgage loans collateralized by both the manufactured houses and the underlying real estate. Origen services the manufactured housing loan contracts that it has originated or purchased as well as manufactured housing loan contracts owned by third parties. As a complement to its origination and servicing business, the firm offers property and casualty insurance at the point of sale for manufactured housing loans it has originated or services. In March 2008, Origen sold its portfolio of approximately $174.6 million in aggregate principal balance of unsecuritized loans. Also in March, the firm decreased its work force by 16%. In July 2008, Origen sold its servicing platform assets to Green Tree Servicing, LLC.

It does not deal directly with consumers. The firm acquires most of its real estate loans from banks and other large mortgage origination companies throughout the U.S. Its revenues are derived from monthly loan payments made by the property owners. Currently, the company owns or creditenhances more than 660,000 loans; and has $228 billion in total loan balance. Redwood funds the majority of its real estate loan investments through securitizations, whereby it issues non-recourse long-term debt in the form of securities, using the real estate loan investments as collateral.

TYPES OF BUSINESS: Consumer Loans Student Loans

Student Loan Corporation, a market leader in education finance, originates, manages and services federally insured student loans through a trust agreement with Citibank, N.A., an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Citigroup, Inc. The company, 80% owned by Citibank, is one of the nation’s largest originators and holders of Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL) program loans. Student Loan Corporation also holds and originates student loans that are not insured under the program. Its main alternative lending program operates under the name CitiAssist, and allows students, whether entering undergraduate, graduate, law or health professional school, to borrow up to the full cost of their education. The company manages a student loan portfolio of $36.5 billion. Earnings are primarily generated by the spread between the interest earned on its loan assets and the interest paid on its borrowings. Student Loan Corporation services most of the directly originated loans throughout their duration. In October 2007, the Student Loan Corporation introduced the Citibank Private Consolidation Loan, which allows consumers to consolidate all of their student loans into a single loan, regardless of the original lender or lenders. Consumers using this loan product can choose between a fixed or variable interest rate. In January 2008, the company decided to stop insuring new CitiAssist Loan originations, as a response to changing insurance laws and the condition of the U.S. economy. In April 2008, the company also suspended lending at certain schools and withdrew from the Federal Consolidation Loan market.

TYPES OF BUSINESS: Real Estate Investment Trust ARM Mortgage Loans

Thornburg Mortgage, Inc. is a mortgage lender that specializes in adjustable and variable-rate mortgages (ARMs) for the single-family residential housing market. The company’s ARM assets consist of purchased ARM Assets and ARM Loans, which are comprised of traditional ARM assets and hybrid ARM assets. Traditional ARMs are a type of mortgage that has an interest rate that adjusts on a regular schedule according to current market conditions, while hybrid ARMs have an initial fixed interest period for the first three to seven years, after which time it takes on an adjustable rate. Thornburg finances the purchases and originations of its ARM Assets with equity capital, unsecured debt, collateralized mortgage debt and short-term borrowings such as reverse repurchase agreements, asset-backed commercial papers and whole loan financing facilities. Investors interested in netting dividends can purchase securities that belong to a pool of ARM loans, which are publicly rated and issued by third parties with guarantees against loan defaults. The company’s ARM loans are loans that have been securitized from the loan origination or loan acquisition activities, loans used as collateral to support the issuance of long-term collateralized mortgage debt or loans pending securitization. Thornburg’s traditional and hybrid loans typically have original terms to maturity of less than 40 years. Additionally, the ARMs are comprised of high rated loans. In September 2007, Thornburg completed a $1.44 billion collateralized mortgage debt transaction within its prime Hybrid ARM Assets in order to mitigate the adverse effects of the 2007 subprime market conditions. The company posted a massive loss in 2007 due to writedowns of its mortgage assets. In March 2008, the firm announced a corporate refinancing totaling $1.35 billion in the form of new senior secured notes and warrants for the purchase of Thornburg stock.

TYPES OF BUSINESS: Mortgage Insurance Online Services Reinsurance

Triad Guaranty, Inc., the holding company for Triad Guaranty Insurance Corp., provides private mortgage insurance coverage in the U.S. and Canada to residential mortgage lenders and investors. Mortgage insurance products offered include primary insurance, modified pool insurance and risksharing products. Primary insurance provides mortgage default protection to lenders on individual loans and covers a percentage of unpaid loan principal, delinquent interest and certain expenses associated with the default and subsequent foreclosure. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are the purchasers of a large percentage of the loans that the company insures. Primary insurance comprised about 81% of Triad’s total direct insurance in 2007. Modified pool insurance is written only on structured bulk transactions through the structured bulk channel. Structured bulk transactions involve underwriting and insuring a group of loans with individual coverage for each loan. Risk-sharing products include mortgage insurance structures designed to allow lenders to share in the risk of mortgage insurance. The company’s captive reinsurance program assumes a portion of the risk associated with the lender’s insured book of business in exchange for a percentage of the premium. The TAXI service provides a number of online services for its clients, including mortgage insurance applications, loan servicing, claims and default processing and risk-sharing performance. Linked with TAXI is eU Xpress, an Internetbased service that automates the contract underwriting and mortgage insurance commitment process. Triad sells mortgage insurance through two distribution channels: the flow channel, which consists of loans originated by lenders and submitted to the company on a loan-by-loan basis; and the structured bulk channel, through which the firm participates in bids for structured bulk transactions. In July 2008, the company announced that it would stop writing new insurance policies and begin to wind down its mortgage business.
