FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

LEND360 Forms First of Its Kind Small Business Lending Advisory Committee

Committee to help facilitate LEND360 initiatives focused on the small business lending space.

ARLINGTON, VA (September 14, 2017) — The 4th Annual LEND360, the go-to event for leaders in the fintech industry, has formed a Small Business Lending Advisory Committee, made up of key industry players. LEND360 has always had a strong focus on business lending, and the forming of this committee is a natural progression of its growing focus at the event. 

Small businesses are key to the economy’s growth and an important component of their success is access to capital. The Small Business Lending Advisory Committee participating companies are:

  • Ballard Spahr LLP
  • Clark Hill PLC
  • DataX
  • Divergent Capital
  • Evolve Capital Partners
  • Hudson Cook LLP
  • Innovative Decision Analytics
  • Intuit
  • Kabbage
  • com
  • LendingCalc
  • Marqeta
  • Moneytree
  • MRS BPO LLC
  • Small Business Finance Association (SBFA)
  • US Black Chambers, Inc
Many of these participants have been integral in shaping the discussions for LEND360, as well as engaging in policy issues impacting the small business lending industry. The first undertaking of the Committee was to evaluate and comment on the upcoming Request for Information from the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau (CFPB) regarding Section 1071 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. Section 1071 pertains to lender data collection requirements for loans made to small, minority, and women-owned businesses. LEND360 will be publishing the comment letter later this Fall.

“LEND360 is the industry incubator where creative minds come together charting new and innovative strategies to meet small business lending needs,” said Matt Kaitz, Education Director at LEND360. “As we’re doing with the CFPB 1071 Comment Letter, this group will continue to engage policymakers and weigh–in on many of the pressing policy issues impacting the small business credit market.”

LEND360 has an agenda track dedicated to innovations, opportunities and best practices in small business lending. These sessions will help tailor your business to the future, with the goal of greater success in the small business financing market. View the detailed program online and register now.
