Many borrowers seeking urgent financial relief do not have an existing business banking relationship, and may face delays when submitting their application as a result. Lenders need an efficient way to receive loan applications and related documentation, get to know the borrowers, and identify fraudulent applications. The portal addresses this challenge by helping lenders efficiently and consistently collect and process loan information and interact with customers on a secure, online interface.

Recently enhanced to capture the information required by the SBA under the PPP program, the portal also includes trusted credit scoring that helps lenders assess small business borrowers at origination and monitor their credit status throughout the life of the loan.

Additional Know Your Customer (KYC) check functionality has also been added to the portal, enabling lenders to quickly and easily screen out fraudulent applications. This functionality is available through the industry-leading customer screening capabilities provided by RDC, a Moody’s Analytics company.
