Ixonia Bank Announces Expansion of Small Business Lending Efforts
Provides Greater Opportunity for Ixonia Bank to Serve Small Businesses in the Community Offers Simple Loan Terms, Quick Application Process and World-Class Customer Service
IXONIA, WISCONSIN and NEW YORK – April 18, 2017 – Ixonia Bank announced today that it has joined the Small Business Loan Program created by BancAlliance and Fundation.
The Small Business Loan Program introduces a new financial technology platform that allows small businesses to access an online portal that will guide each small business customer to the products that best meet its unique need. This program is designed to enable banks to address the challenges of underwriting small businesses by providing a simplified and streamlined borrowing experience. Ixonia Bank’s small business customers now have the ability to apply online by visiting www.IxoniaBank.com and certain eligible customers may receive approval in as little as one business day.
Mark Wierman, President of Ixonia Bank, commented, “Our partnership with Fundation will provide a quick and efficient way for small business owners to apply for loans online in a way that is convenient for them. While our focus on personalized customer service and relationship banking remains as strong as always, the online lending market is rapidly evolving and this program helps us meet the needs of small businesses that may not otherwise be aware of our products and services.”
Fundation provides credit for working capital and expansion purposes to a wide array of businesses nationally. Unlike most non-bank lenders, Fundation’s products are conventional loan products but using its best-in-class technology platform, Fundation makes the process for applying for credit an extremely efficient and customer friendly process. Fundation has been the recipient of the “Best Working Capital” loan award by Business News Daily for three years in a row because of its outstanding online application process and dedicated customer relationship management.
Sam Graziano, CEO of Fundation, said, “We are invested in driving the success of small business owners and partnering with Ixonia Bank to do just that. The program we have created with our partner BancAlliance is unmatched within the industry, empowering community banks like Ixonia Bank to serve their small business customer base and their local communities in an unparalleled way.” Brian Graham, CEO of BancAlliance, stated: “Our commitment is to the asset growth and diversification of the community banks we serve with a focus on expanding their relevance to their customers. This unique partnership with Fundation puts community banks at the forefront to be competitive with larger lending institutions without changing the traditional mission of community banking.”
