内容简介:This study examines how the similarity between borrower and lender financial management systems (FMS) affects debt contracts. Using a comprehensive sample of syndicated bank loans, we find that banks charge lower loan spreads to borrowers whose FMS are similar to their own. This effect is stronger for borrowers in poorer information environments and for lenders with less lending experience or greater risk exposure. The results remain robust across different model specifications and under a quasi-natural experiment involving an FMS vendor’s merger and acquisition. Additionally, borrowers are more likely to secure loans from banks with similar FMS. Overall, our findings highlight the critical role of FMS in facilitating information transfer and shaping loan contract terms.
