What Is Credit Committee & Approval Matrix in TradeVista?
Credit Committee & Approval Matrix helps financial institutions manage how financing proposals are reviewed, escalated and approved. The approval matrix defines the appropriate sanctioning authority based on configured parameters such as financing product, requested amount, risk rating and delegation of authority.
Proposals requiring collective review can be routed to a credit committee for assessment, discussion and decision-making. Instead of relying on disconnected emails, spreadsheets and manually maintained meeting records, TradeVista brings the approval journey into a structured workflow, helping teams maintain visibility into pending decisions, approval conditions and the rationale recorded for each proposal.
The workflow can be configured to reflect an institution's internal credit policy and governance structure.
- 1. Submit ProposalSubmit a credit proposal with the relevant appraisal details and recommendations.
- 2. Determine Approval RouteRoute the proposal according to the configured approval matrix and delegation of authority.
- 3. Review Credit CaseMake the proposal and supporting information available to the authorised reviewers or committee members.
- 4. Record DecisionCapture approval, rejection, deferral or additional conditions, as supported by the configured workflow.
- 5. Complete Sanction ProcessProgress approved proposals to sanction documentation and downstream workflows.
