PKM is hosting this webinar to educate community and regional banks about the rapidly growing digital lending market and its tremendous earnings and savings potential. “Digital lending technology provides a profitable way for community banks to deliver consumer loans under $30,000 and small business loans under $100,000 in only minutes on computers and mobile devices,” said Jeffrey Harper, president of BSG Financial Group. “Consumers want short-term digital loans, as evidenced by the impressive growth of non-bank and Fintech alternatives, but financial institutions are losing out because their current methodologies are not profitable,” he said. Currently, community financial institutions hold fewer than 10% of small business loans under $100,000 and 5% of consumer loans under $50,000. The webinar addresses this area of underperformance and offers solutions to expanding loan sales, improving speed of service and efficiency, and enhancing customer satisfaction with digital lending technology. “With digital lending technology, there is an alternative that can keep financial institutions competitive in protecting their customer base from alternative lenders, while also garnering new loans and deposits,” said Harper. During this 60-minute webinar, the presenter Trevor Knott, senior vice president at BSG Financial Group, will outline the following: The $30 billion income opportunity for community banks documented by multiple studies, including potential ROA The requirements for a superior digital and mobile lending experience How digital lending manages loan applications, adverse action, Reg B and other compliance efficiently and with no paper or staff time The way financial institutions control underwriting, compliance & data security, and keep the loans on their balance sheets Who: BSG Financial Group in conjunction with Porter Keadle Moore Presenter: Trevor Knott of BSG Financial Group When: Tuesday, November 14, 2017; 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM EDT Registration: http://www.pkm.com/event/the-emerging-digital-lending-opportunity-for-community-financial-institutions/#register
