Oriental Bank of Commerce is a public sector bank which is committed to offer financial aids to people in the form of low-risk loans and with the MSME Sector, this step has come as a good news for all the deserving enterprises.

CIBIL MSME Rank (CMR) helps banks and other loan lending institutions to create a standard for risk management process and offer risk-based prices for loans.  

CMR creates a ranking system for MSME’s based on its credit history on a scale of 1 to 10, where CMR 10 is the riskiest rank and CMR1 the most profitable one. It makes the facility of availing credit cheaper for MSME’s with a good CIBIL Rank.

CMR uses smart algorithms with machine learning which can easily predict the probability of MSME becoming a Non-Performing Asset. In the MSME segment, the Net Interest Margin (NIM) ranges from 4% to 7% and depends on the risk associated with the applicant and type of loan being applied.

To all this, there is a healthy Rate of Return which is estimated to be at 2% to 5% which is why the reduction in interest rates aims to benefit more than 11Lakh MSME’s.
