When you invest in loan marketplace platforms like Mintos or PeerBerry, your key risk is that the Loan Originator will not be able to pay under its buyback guarantee obligations. This risk makes it your primary job to evaluate the LO's ability to meet its obligations. The credibility of these loan originators is crucial to the success of your investment. If an LO defaults, investors might suffer significant losses! In this article, you will learn how banks evaluate loan originators when granting them loans. By adopting a similar approach, you can better protect your investments and make informed decisions in the P2P lending space. https://lnkd.in/dBg8y2Ws

We built BaZing as a way for #communitybanks and #creditunions to deliver unique value to their customers/members via a unique checking product. And two decades later, we're encouraged that the hundreds of FIs that have become our clients are still benefiting from BaZing. Below is just an example of the kind of discounts, and deals that BaZing delivers to customers/members using a subscription-based checking model that relies on benefits rather the fees to drive primacy, non-interest income, and organic growth. #banks #banking #communitybanking
