Deposit Line
Rising demand for quick access to cash and limited access to traditional bank credit products have led many consumers to turn to nontraditional lenders for their immediate needs. By addressing the needs of these consumers with deposit-based lending options, financial institutions can gain long-term accountholders and create a reliable noninterest, controlled-risk revenue stream.
In the past, regulatory guidance made it prohibitive for financial institutions to offer small-dollar lending. New guidance now encourages financial institutions to offer deposit-based lending solutions, which can increase their wallet share, improve customer satisfaction and position organizations as leaders in consumer-focused, next-generation financial solutions. And consumers are looking for these cash flow options today.
