Is loan approval authority by loan or aggregate debt

Answered by: 

Question: 
When making a new CD secured loan of $50,000, our aggregate exposure with the borrower will be $1,500,000. The bank's board has delegated lending authority to the underwriter of $650,000. Does the underwriter have the authority to approve this loan secured by the CD or does it have to be approved by the Loan Committee due to the aggregate debt?
Answer: 

This is totally dependent on your bank's lending policy, which may or may not require that the loan be approved at a higher level.
