Commercial Lending CUSO in Michigan

For more than a decade Michigan Credit Unions have been experiencing great growth in commercial lending and the current economy is driving even more expansion of small and medium size businesses. That means commercial loan needs will continue to increase. Credit Unions who share the costs and risks of business lending with each other are uniquely positioned to capitalize on this growth and fulfill their member and community needs.

How Does a Commercial Loan Partnership with a CUSO Work?

Michigan Business Connection (MBC) was formed by a group of Michigan Credit Unions that wanted to work together to provide the highest quality commercial lending programs to their members. Instead of each Credit Union building and operating their own business lending department, these Credit Unions created MBC to enable access to the talent and technology needed to succeed in business lending.

As a Credit Union, you have options with MBC. You can leverage our expertise for any or all aspects of your member business lending needs or simply invest in loans generated by other MBC Credit Unions.

What Does a Commercial Lending CUSO Offer?

Loan Underwriting: Achieve Risk Reduction

Business loan underwriting is our passion and we stay focused on serving the markets we know. With a thorough understanding of NCUA rules and industry best practices, we provide objective and independent risk analyses to enhance your decision-making abilities. And when you like a loan but don’t want to hold all of it, we can identify other Credit Unions willing to share in the risk of the loan and facilitate your loan participation.

Loan Servicing: You Have Options

At MBC you don’t have to choose an all or nothing solution. Our robust commercial loan servicing and accounting platform provides an extensive array of billing and record keeping options to reduce your administrative burden. And our portfolio monitoring and management support ensures that your loan portfolio maintains the highest possible compliance and quality. Most importantly, you get a partner for your credit union staff to manage both relationship growth opportunities and adverse credit situations.
