Oriental Bank of Commerce offers lower interest rates to MSMEs with good CIBIL rank

Mumbai: MSMEs with a good CIBIL MSME Rank (CMR) can now avail a lower rate of interest on loans from Oriental Bank of Commerce. CMR uses machine learning algorithms to predict the probability of an MSME becoming NPA in the next 12 months. It provides a ranking to the MSME based on its credit history data on a scale of 1 to 10, CMR1 being the least risky MSME and CMR10 being the most risky MSME. The higher the CMR, the higher is the risk of NPA associated with the MSME. Oriental Bank of Commerce will offer up to 0.25 percent concession on interest rates to MSMEs with CMR1 to CMR3 and internal risk rating of OBC1 to OBC3.
