Margill Loan Manager

Margill Loan Manager handles loan servicing and interest calculation, and its customer list explains what the product is really for: public and private sector companies, regulatory agencies, banks, law firms, courts, accountants and governments.

Courts and regulatory agencies choosing a piece of software says something specific. They need arithmetic that survives challenge, and Margill attributes their choice to its mathematical superiority in handling complex payment scenarios, irregular schedules and special refund methods. Those are exactly the cases where ordinary loan software produces a number nobody can fully justify: a payment made late and partially, a rate that changed mid period, a refund calculated under a statutory method.

Configuration is deep rather than cosmetic, with unlimited custom fields, menus, dashboards, payment types and reports so the software matches the organisation's reality rather than the reverse. That flexibility is what allows one product to serve a micro lender and a court system.

The team composition is itself unusual and relevant, including senior and junior programmers, lawyers and external consultants, which is a sensible structure for software whose correctness is a legal question as much as a technical one. Published customers describe seamless data transfer to QuickBooks and EFT integration, and consistently single out the technical service as among the best they have found. Pricing is not published.
