Consumer Lending
Consumer lending companies originate, underwrite, service and collect on personal loans, installment loans, title loans and lines of credit. For a lender that takes applications online or by phone, the specialists turn inquiries into verified applications, applications into credit-checked and decisioned files, approved loans into funded contracts and payment schedules, and then manage collections and regulatory paperwork. Rate sheets, credit policies and compliance checklists stay with the owner.
