Lending Briefing: Five questions with Vince Passione, CEO and founder of LendKey

Ten years ago, everyone wanted to build a direct lender, but LendKey took a different approach by going B2B. They wanted to work with lenders like regional banks and credit unions to help them power their own lending business. 

LendKey is now a well networked lending platform designed to deliver capital and liquidity management to banks, credit unions and fintechs.
