Write-off the loan
What is a Loan Write-Off?
A loan write-off occurs when a bank or lender removes a loan from its balance sheet because it considers the loan to be uncollectible. This typically happens after all reasonable attempts to collect the debt have failed, and the loan is categorized as a loss.
The write-off doesn't mean that the borrower is relieved of their obligation to repay the debt; rather, it signifies that the lender has acknowledged that the chances of recovery are minimal.
In summary, a loan write-off is a crucial tool for managing a bank's financial health and risk exposure, but it also offers insights that can drive better decision-making and operational efficiency.
