SIMPLIFIED COMMERCIAL CREDIT FILE

T o A ll Banks and Trust Companies in the
Second Federal Reserve D istrict:

During the past year a special committee of the New York State Bankers Association has been
developing a simplified commercial credit file, intended particularly for banks of small or moderate
size. In the course of its development the file was carefully tested in actual practice by a number
of volunteer banks, and it was submitted to supervisory authorities for suggestions. The aim was
to produce a file which would contain all the information needed to make a sound loan, yet be
simple and easy to maintain.
W e are pleased to respond to the request of the New York State Bankers Association to under­
take the distribution of this file to banks in the Second Federal Reserve District, confident that
it gives us an opportunity to help many banks in the district in serving the credit needs of their
communities.
The file consists of a special folder and the following form s:

Financial statement form (this is the same form we have been supplying to member banks)
Analysis form (for comparing financial statements)
Original history sheet
Continuing history sheets (for recording current and pertinent data)
A sample file is enclosed, together with a sample credit memorandum form in which loaning
officers can record information obtained during interviews with customers, an explanation o f the
various form s, and instructions for setting up and maintaining the file.
During recent years bank loan portfolios have increased substantially; the average amount
of individual loans has also increased and the need for sound loan supervision is therefore greater
today than ever before. In addition, borrowers have a right to expect that their good credit
standing and the bank’s favorable experience with them be a matter of permanent record at the
bank with which they do business. The use of the credit file will not, of course, guarantee the
quality of loans made — that will still depend upon the judgment of the individual banker and his
directors. However, the ready availability of properly maintained credit data, together with the
knowledge and judgment of management, should enable a bank to satisfy the credit needs o f its
community and to grant to borrowers the credit to which they are entitled without exposing the
bank to undue risks.
W e are prepared to furnish the credit folders and form s mentioned above, separately or in
sets, upon the following basis:

Folders will be furnished in any quantity at a cost of 10<f each.
Forms will be furnished without charge to all banks.
Credit memoranda will be furnished in pads o f 100, at a cost o f 25tf per pad.
An order form is enclosed on which you may indicate the
folder and of each form you m ay wish for current use. W e will
to install credit files or to review their present credit analysis
assistance may be directed to the Bank Relations Department of




number of copies of the credit
be glad to assist member banks
