When two or more financial institutions decide to extend credit facilities to a borrower jointly, the arrangement is known as consortium financing. By consensus, one of the consortium members (generally one who undertakes the largest portion of lending) acts as the lead bank and handles all administrative assignments including loan documentation, insurance management information, loan disbursement/settlement and regular monitoring of the advance. A formal consortium agreement is drawn up which is signed by the financial institutions and the borrower.
