Target launches platform for new lenders
Share
The Target Group has launched Lender Launchpad, offering both new lenders and their funding banks the assurance of long term control of funds and a flexible and rapid launch platform.
Target says for lenders, the approach enables them to focus on origination, and cost-effectively outsource the back-office to a specialist, S&P rated servicing company. For wholesale banks, the approach offers long term security.
David Heath, finance director for Target Loan Servicing, says: “Lender launchpad offers new lenders both flexibility and a cost effective launch operation.
“Target will provide a compliant, efficient servicing and reporting platform cost effectively to conserve precious equity. Behind the scenes there is the option to use a wholesale ‘funder-friendly’agreement, which offers banks the confidence that their security is retained long term. This is a real innovation that can help unlock wholesale funding.”
Heath adds: “This innovation from Target comes without the typical significant upfront costs of launching a new lending business. Target can link most of its charges to the amount of new business being written, advancing that key break-even point. Target is already in advanced negotiations with several new market entrants. Target is in the business of enabling new lending.”
