Why we exist

There is no perfect commercial loan

The commercial lending process is inherently complex and time intensive. Often times, strong businesses can present short-term underwriting concerns that prevent otherwise attractive commercial loans from moving forward. The result is lost revenue, wasted resources and frustrated borrowers.

Loan-to-value mismatch

Customer concentration

Industry exposure

Weak personal guarantee

Uneven financial history

Collateral limitations

Common short-term underwriting challenges across the loan pipeline.

Why CollateralEdge

Designed for Community Banks

BankersEdge enables community banks to evaluate, price and obtain Synthetic Insurance in real time—providing additional collateral through a standby letter of credit to address short-term underwriting concerns.
