Hello Darcy,

sorry for the delayed answer: I can’t check the numbers by myself, so I had to wait for the respond.

All I got clarified: the current number of open loans in our system are about 40.000. Sorry.

But: In Mainz we do not have short-term loans (the minimum is a one day loan) in fact of this we send our courtesy reminder in the middle of the night – so not a thing about lag time.

Kind regards from Mainz and have a happy weekend

Kai

Subject: Average, peak and current number of open/active loans in your systems

Hi All,

I hope this finds you well and that these might be a quick questions for you. The developers are looking at notices and performance, and the number of open/active loans might have an effect on that. So to the best of your ability, can you please answer the following three questions? If you can answer one, but not all, please forward that too.

• How many open (or active) loans do you typically have in the system on average?
• What’s a peak number for you?
• And lastly, since this might be the easiest to obtain, what’s the current number of open loans in your system?

Also, I’m curious about lag for real-time notices. What would be an acceptable lag time? For example, if you have a short-term loan (2 hours) and you’re sending a courtesy reminder 10 minutes before it’s due, then is 2 minutes an acceptable lag time? Or is it less than that? I assume it’s not nearly as important with a long-term loan, and you might not even send those real-time. Are those correct assumptions?

Thank you!

Darcy
