BSG Financial Group Partners with Industry Expert

BSG Financial Group Partners with Industry Expert to Provide Digital Lending Solution to Financial Institutions Company Will Market MinuteLender™ to Help Financial Institutions Deliver Loans In Minutes to Consumer and Small Businesses LOUISVILLE, KY., Sept. 2, 2016 – BSG Financial Group, a group of independently organized companies that provides revenue-enhancement and compliance solutions for financial institutions nationwide, announced recently that it has entered into a sales partnership with R.C. Giltner Services, Inc., to market that company’s digital lending technology platform called MinuteLender™.   MinuteLender helps financial institutions provide fully compliant loans and lines of credit to their consumer and small business account holders. Using the MinuteLender technology platform—which operates under the brand and control of each financial institution—account holders are able to complete the entire online loan application on a computer or mobile phone and get approval and account set up in just minutes, vastly improving the lending experience.   “With the rapid growth and use of online lending, financial institutions are hungry for a profitable way to meet customer expectations for rapid and easily accessible lending solutions,” said W. Barrett Nichols, CEO of BSG Financial Group. “We see MinuteLender as a strategic solution for financial institutions that want to recapture the revenue they are losing to non-bank lending alternatives, while enhancing their mobile and digital delivery strategy,” he said.   The MinuteLender platform automates the entire loan process for the financial institution from application to funding, managing documentation and eliminating paperwork and loan officer involvement. This streamlined process allows the institution to profitably and safely fund unsecured loans to consumers (up to $35,000) and small businesses (up to $50,000)—often at lower rates than non-bank competitors—thereby growing the institution’s loan volume.    Unlike non-bank solutions, MinuteLender allows the financial institution to maintain control of the entire lending process. The solution ensures complete compliance and provides account monitoring and risk rating reports to the financial institution. The cloud-based software is audited secure and keeps all identifying numbers, TAX ID and account numbers inside the financial institution’s firewall.   “We are pleased to represent MinuteLender for R.C. Giltner Services, with whom we have had a long relationship and who is a pioneer in the digital lending space. This solution will enable financial institutions to provide affordable loans to account holders without losing them to non-traditional, non-bank lenders. It will be a true differentiator for our customers and prospects.”   About BSG Financial Group Louisville, Ky.-based BSG Financial Group is a group of independently organized companies that provides revenue-enhancing programs—combined with compliance solutions—for financial institutions to help them meet their financial goals.
