Configure Global Settings for Credit Products

Before launching any credit product in your ecosystem, it is critical to configure several core services that define the structure, rules, and data required for credit operations. These configurations ensure consistency across contract flows, decisioning, pricing, and servicing.

1. Entity Service Configuration

All credit contracts rely on entities such as customers, partners, businesses, and owners. You must configure the entity structure and required metadata first.

Key Configurations:

• Sectors and Segments: Used for eligibility, pricing, and reporting. Example Sectors: Technology, Agriculture

• Custom Fields: Capture custom metadata like legal status, financial standing, etc. Example: Field: Legal proceeding status

• Company Relationships: Define legal or business connections between entities, such as parent companies or subsidiaries.

• Contract Relationships: Used to link multiple entities in a credit agreement, e.g., co-applicants or guarantors.

2. Product Configuration Service

This is where you define global product settings used across all credit services.

Must Configure:

• Currencies (e.g., EUR, USD)

• Countries and Lanuages

• Product states (from "Draft" to "Active") for management

These settings become reusable across all individual credit products and contract templates.

3. Interest Service Configuration

In the Interest Service, you define dynamic interest rate references that your credit products can use — especially when working with variable-rate loans. Each variable interest is defined by:

• Currency: The currency the rate applies to (e.g., EUR).

• Name A unique identifier for the rate (e.g., ESTR, EURIBOR1W).

• Term: The applicable term of the rate, such as daily (D0), weekly, or monthly.

• Value Date Modifier: Adjusts the effective date of the rate, for example to use the previous day’s value.

These variable interest definitions can be linked when designing product repayment logic or setting up floating rate terms within contracts.

4. Credit Contract Service

This governs how credit contracts behave and how metadata, compliance, and financial rules are applied.

Key configurations:

• Currencies supported in contracts (e.g., EUR, USD, NOK, SEK, DKK)

• Purposes of the contract (e.g., Margin Lending, Imports, Real Estate)

• Custom Fields such as risk factors or compliance data

• Holidays by country, used for schedule generation and due dates

• Taxes like VAT, with settings for rate, deduction, default applicability, and validity periods

• Fees: Define default fees that apply to contracts using the product.

These configurations form the backbone for every contract created on the platform.

5. Collateral Service Configuration

If your credit products are backed by collateral, define the accepted collateral structures.

Key Configurations:

• Collateral Types: e.g., CASH, IMMOVABLE

• Subtypes: e.g., Bank vault, Apartment, House

• Collateral Fields: Custom data for registration and risk, such as:

  • Location

  • House number

  • Bank account details

These fields are collected during collateral creation and can be validated or scored as part of the credit decisioning process.
