Anytime Lending

Executive Summary

The LoanLink Center provides a lending solution, cross-selling opportunity, and member service enhancement.  Recent trends indicate that more and more members are choosing "remote lending"—using the Internet or a call center to apply for loans.  By integrating The LoanLink Center with your current lending and member service operations, you’ve got a golden opportunity to meet member needs without increasing your staff overhead.  This efficient way to grow your lending and member service operation will also generate new fee income, thanks to a variety of cross-selling opportunities.  And by helping your credit union keep pace with the rest of the market, The LoanLink Center will help reinforce your status as your members’ primary financial institution.

 

By using The LoanLink Center, you’re also building a strategic alliance with APPRO, the leading loan origination system provider, and CUNA Mutual Group, a respected financial services and lending solutions provider.

 

You can reduce the expenses of originating a loan without cutting back on the quality of service. Advancements in loan origination technology allow The LoanLink Center to help you close more loans without having to earmark additional money for employee salaries, benefits, turnover and training.

 

The LoanLink Center also allows you to keep pace with banking operations that currently employ new loan origination technology. How often do you see a service that meets both the demands of the market and reflects favorably on the bottom line?
