However, the application of the benchmarking concept to the banking industry did not take place until the late 1990s. Process benchmarking, in particular, is a tool that helps FIs to cut costs, improve productivity and integrate business processes. Although process benchmarking involves divulging what may be considered as sensitive or confidential information, forming de facto benchmarking partnerships with competitors allows participating institutions to compare cost and output advantages and disadvantages, when performing key processes involved in lending operations. This paper presents an application of process benchmarking to lending operations across Australia to highlight differences in costs involved in seemingly identical value chains.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="browseBoxGreen" style="margin-top: 0.5em;"&gt;  &lt;h2 style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;Article Information:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;  &lt;h3 style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; font-weight: normal;"&gt;Title : Process benchmarking: an application to lending products&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;  &lt;h3 style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; font-weight: normal;"&gt;Author(s): Sarath Delpachitra, Diana Beal&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;  &lt;h3 style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; font-weight: normal;"&gt;Journal: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.emeraldinsight.com/1463-5771.htm" title="Benchmarking: An International Journal."&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;Benchmarking: An International Journal&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; font-weight: normal;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Source: &lt;a href="http://www.emeraldinsight.com/"&gt;emeraldinsight.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;           &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/482299912443204387-8689832552559198885?l=roedy-benchmark-lending.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://roedy-benchmark-lending.blogspot.com/feeds/8689832552559198885/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=482299912443204387&amp;postID=8689832552559198885' title='6 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/482299912443204387/posts/default/8689832552559198885'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/482299912443204387/posts/default/8689832552559198885'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://roedy-benchmark-lending.blogspot.com/2008/12/benchmarking.html' title='Benchmarking'/><author><name>Roedy</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00975857679150274820</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_KwPddOVnBpE/SUeHMLELlzI/AAAAAAAAAJ8/rbkH16Q7Uyw/S220/Roedy-WAHrep.jpg'/></author><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-482299912443204387.post-5581189869767635008</id><published>2008-12-12T17:49:00.001+07:00</published><updated>2008-12-12T17:49:45.033+07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Benchmark lending'/><title type='text'>Benchmark Lending</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Benchmark lending &lt;/span&gt;was something I had never heard of.

The benchmark rate is set by the Federal Reserve in the United States, and it is the interest rate the banks pay when they borrow money. That's right, your bank borrows money, too! They must have a certain amount of money on reserve, and when they don't they borrow money over a very short term (such as one night). So why is this term so valuable? Banks and mortgage companies seek out people who might need a loan. Banking makes it's money on loans, it's just a valuable business to be a part of when there are lots of customers.

Other sites just give you a list, I am just trying to explain why each keyword is on those lists. I do not claim to be a Benchmark Lending expert, and I encourage you to do your own research.
