 Treasury Inquiry Into Alternative Lending

Digital lending technology, like MinuteLender, allows financial institutions to efficiently serve and grow revenue from the 80% of their small business checking customers who have no business loan with the financial institution but have loans from elsewhere.  Lending to this group of loans under $50k, which are 40% of all loans and average $12k, have not been profitable in the past for financial institutions, but digital technology available since 2012 provides efficient, profitable delivery, risk rating and monitoring for just a few hundred dollars. And most importantly, the digital lending technology for financial institutions meets all compliance, regulatory and sound lending practices.
