One of the big challenges for community banks and credit unions is that they often have a very concentrated base of customers. The vast majority of their accounts could be with people and businesses within a 100-mile radius. While setting up digital tools can allow these banks and credit unions to expand beyond their home base, this comes with a lot of expense and complexity. When it comes to lending programs there is a much simpler alternative.My next guest on the Fintech One-on-One podcast is Vince Passione, the CEO and C0-Founder of LendKey. I last had Vince on the show all the way back in 2016, so a lot has changed since then. They have created this new technology they call network lending which solves for the problem of customer concentration for credit unions and banks, at least when it comes to the lending side of the balance sheet.In this podcast you will learn:The highlights of LendKey's evolution over the last nine years.Their long partnership with Navy Credit Union.How they have expanded into the home improvement market.The impact of the CARES Act on their education financing business.How the needs of credit unions have been evolving.The changes that will impact the ParentPLUS and GradPLUS lending programs.What differentiates those credit unions that can go after the younger generation and those that can't.Why private student loans will have to take up the slack, particularly for graduate student loans.How their network lending programs work.Why network lending is a great way for credit unions to diversify their portfolio.How they decide who becomes the lender of record for these loans.Why they launched ALIRO in 2021 to allow others to set up their own lending networks.What the next five to ten years look like for LendKey.Connect with Fintech One-on-One: Tweet me @PeterRenton Connect with me on LinkedIn Find previous Fintech One-on-One episodes

I, your host Randy, am sitting down this week with Vince Passione, CEO and founder of LendKey. We dive into the tumultuous year in lending, discussing the challenges credit unions faced, from economic impacts to rising delinquency rates. Vince shares insights into navigating liquidity pressures, exploring tools like subordinated debt and loan pool sales. We tackle the philosophical hurdles credit unions face in selling loan portfolios and the strategic importance of adapting to evolving industry dynamics. The conversation also unfolds into the implications of unprecedented rate hikes, auto loan challenges, and the surge in home improvement lending. As we peer into the future, Vince sheds light on managing balance sheets with a risk-adjusted return on capital approach and offers valuable considerations for credit unions in partnering with fintechs. Tune in for a deep dive into the complexities and opportunities shaping the credit union industry as we chart the course ahead!

Around the time of the Great Recession, there weren't many lenders originating educational loans. Most of them had exited the business because of the volatility of the market. This void opened up the perfect opportunity for credit unions to help consumers achieve their educational goals while lowering the average age of their membership at the same time.

Student Lending, Elevated: Educate and Engage Gen Z and Millennial Members | LendKey 2019 by NAFCU Services Preferred Partners

Back in 2009, it was all the rage to build a direct lender. It didn't matter where the capital came from — it could have been from a marketplace of investors or off a balance sheet. But the idea was that you could build a massive scalable business by going direct. There were some companies that emerged from that time period successful but it proved very hard. Others like LendKey took a B2B tack. Instead of going out and building a borrower acquisition model, they would work with lending institutions like regional banks and credit unions to power their lending businesses. After growing and exiting Dealertrack, Vince Passione, the former CTO of Citi's US consumer bank, saw an opportunity to found and lead LendKey. Vince joins us on the show to talk about his partnership model and the challenges and opportunities of working alongside banks and credit unions, which have deployed more than $2 billion in lending capital on the digital platform.

Last week’s episode featured Vince Passione from LendKey -- an innovative company turning offline lenders into online ones. In the rush to digital, we’re seeing pureplay fintech startups attempting their best to disrupt the industry. Others take a different tack -- they empower the existing banking, investing, payment providers to compete better with the tools and technologies their current and future clients are asking for. Our guest on this week’s podcast is Stephen Dubois of Xignite. His firm empowers both old and new players with API feeds of financial market data. Most of the online investment platforms, from Wealthfront to Motif to Robinhood, are clients. And so are Blackrock and Charles Schwab. A pioneer in the amazing things happening in fintech today, Stephen joins me on a recent trip to Jerusalem for a conversation about the future of investing, how investing technology and tools have changed over the past 10 years and how he thinks they’ll continue to change in the future. *****Sponsors***** This week's episode of the Tradestreaming Podcast was sponsored by Collective2 -- automated trading for humans.

As the interest in fintech and financial services in general continues to grow, there’s been chatter of an Uber-like disruption by the startups in the space. Our next guest, Vince Passione would beg to differ. He’s the CEO of LendKey which provides the incumbent banking system the digital tools it needs to sufficiently compete in marketplace lending. The issue right now isn’t whether marketplace lending is going to grow, it’s more of who takes the lead in this space. It’s worth listening to Vince because he’s been a major part of the move to digitize financial services, leading Citi’s move online and Ameritrade’s Institutional Client group. This move to online lending started with pure play disrupters like Lending Club and Propser and is moving to a more collaborative environment with traditional institutions following quickly with their own offerings powered by companies like LendKey. The company has 320 clients and has helped originate over $1 billion in loans with its banking clients. In Vince’s opinion, there will never be an Uberization of finance because banks and credit unions do eventually adopt technology. They survive. Same thing happened in Internet banking. There is an entire system of trust and regulatory framework built around banks making them very hard to disintermediate. In this sense, LendKey is providing the shovels and pickaxes for the marketplace lending goldrush and it’s selling them to the big boys. *****Sponsors***** This week's episode of the Tradestreaming Podcast was sponsored by Collective2 -- automated trading for humans.
