The Value Digital Lending Creates for Community Banks

In his new book, Creating Strategic Value Through Financial Technology, Jay Wilson of Mercer Capital quotes William Easterlin, CEO of Queensborough National Bank, on why digital lending is so important to community banks:

“I need something that is going to help me make the loans I’m already making, but far more efficiently.”

His comment reflects what every community bank CEO knows:  they don’t make money on business loans under $100,000 or consumer loans under $50,000.  Why?  Because the origination, underwriting, delivery, compliance and operations costs are too high and inefficient.  Yet over half of all business loans are under $100,000 and community banks poorly serve the $1.4 trillion in personal loans held by their customers elsewhere.  Community banks often make small business and consumer loans to serve their customers and markets, just unprofitably and inefficiently, as Mr. Easterlin states.
