Recently our Chief Product Officer Aaron Traub and Head of Growth Darren Hecht took part in a webinar with CBANC focused on identifying trends in the industry.

Among the findings:

Digital lending and banking technology

  • Digital lending is here to stay. It’s the only way to be able to change credit policies, deal with regulations, and move quickly, all at the same time.
  • "Banks which have adopted digital lending are seeing a far greater number of loans being made on average compared to their peers."
  • Due to technology trends, whether it be the cloud or SaaS applications, we’re seeing that smaller banks are increasingly able to offer the same services that large banks can offer.
  • It’s important for banks to work within a digital ecosystem.

"Banks which have adopted digital lending are seeing a far greater number of loans being made on average compared to their peers."

Trends

  • Companies are increasingly looking for working capital and smaller loans.
  • Baby boomers and Gen X are entrenched in the market, and they’re doing far less account opening than millennials and Gen Z.
  • With the increased appetite to go mobile, branches opening and going into branches are both going down significantly.
  • While internal buy-in can be challenging, going digital-first across the board is something that we’ll see.
  • Generative AI is here to stay and can be used at multiple stages throughout the buyer journey.

What customers want

  • Customers want to be able to do business from anywhere and they want to have a real-time messaging system in place.
  • They desire to understand the different loan types and feel confident they’re choosing the one that’s best for them.
  • While customers want to go increasingly online, they do not want to lose personal relationships in the process.
  • The goal is for the process to be quick and efficient.

Biz2X

  • Biz2X is taking the simple tasks that take up time and making them easy and efficient.
  • We have created a lead section so that you can reach back out to clients and remind them to finish their applications.
  • Biz2X can increase the speed of the application process while decreasing the risk of fraud.
  • Through Biz2X’s decision engine, customers can understand why they were approved or denied based on the policies of banks.
