“There's great synergy between our two companies in terms of innovation, technology and customer experience,” Mr Burke said.
“We would like to continue to provide an online lending solution to small business owners by expanding our industry relationships.”
As well as this, the lender revealed that it was seeking to build on its recently expanded BDM team and add more account managers to “strengthen OnDeck’s broker offering”.
Mr Burke commented: “We are identifying key personnel to bring on board to help OnDeck expand and enhance business opportunities across the country.”
“We expect further growth in accreditation as more brokers recognize the benefits of doing business with us,” Mr Burke said.
