1/ Yesterday, I posted about my concern that many small businesses are currently at a disadvantage. That spurred some great questions about why FinTech lenders are so important. https://twitter.com/BrockBlake/status/1248309430485020673?s=20">https://twitter.com/BrockBlak...

2/ In a perfect market, the community banks would focus on the larger deals that require personal touch & hand holding. This is their superpower -- FinTechs can’t compete. In fact, MOST of the $350B would actually still be funded by community banks/CUs (bc the loan size...

3/..would be so large). The downside to a comm. bank is they are not built to handle a high volume of small loans. This is not a knock… they just aren’t built for it. Over the past few days, many smaller banks have been completely overwhelmed w/ only a couple 100 applicants.

4/ On the flip side, FinTechs don’t want to touch the larger loans. Instead, they’d prefer to fund the millions of VSBs (very small businesses) w/ loan sizes less than $350k. Not only do they prefer the smaller loans, processing high volumes of smaller loans IS their superpower.

5/ The technology capabilities of FinTech lenders allows for digital document gathering, automated KYC/KYB/AML, API integrations for data verifications, and high volume submissions to the SBA.

When ALL lenders are approved to participate, market forces will play out and ...

6/ .. the market will be efficient; meaning… superpowers will prevail allowing community banks/CUs to focus on larger loans and FinTechs to efficiently fund high-volume smaller loans.
