  CU Business Capital LLC Seeks to Improve Business Accounts and Cash Management Services for Credit Unions

Market research indicates that 83% of small businesses would use a credit union for business deposit services; we will help credit unions expand membership into this large opportunity

(Miramar, Florida) – CU Business Capital, LLC, a business services CUSO focused on business deposits, cash management and business lending, will officially launch at the July 13th NAFCU Annual Conference & Exhibition in Las Vegas.

There is significant focus by credit unions on business lending but limited attention to the most important service to a small business: deposit services. 89% of small businesses view business deposit services as their greatest priority, not lending. CU Business Capital will be much different in this respect as the priority is to help credit unions across the country deliver robust business deposits and cash management services according to Bert Bryan, President of CU Business Capital, LLC.

"The opportunity to expand membership is real; attracting a business deposit relationship usually means multiple business checking accounts, money market accounts, accounts with balances much larger than consumer deposit accounts, and typically the accounts of the principals and their employees." he says.

"Credit unions have faced many challenges with the delivery of strong business deposit services, these have included technology, staff, operations, etc. But we will offer solutions including technology, while working with existing core systems, branch training, product development, pricing analysis, and a host of services intending to enable credit unions to become strong competitors for local market business deposit relationships" said Bryan.

"The Credit Union Movement has done an excellent job on business lending; the movement's overall performance from delinquencies to charge-off is outstanding. That indicates that we have very good borrowers, but good borrowers are courted by every financial institution. 83% of borrowers will typically have their personal deposit accounts at the same financial institution as their business accounts. Without a strong business deposit services program many CUs run the risk of having their great borrowers go to the FI that can provide better pricing based on the entire relationship; business loans, business deposits, cash management and personal accounts."

On the lending side, CU Business Capital will provide distinct advantages to credit unions. CU Business Capital will originate and service both conventional and SBA loans. Our origination team will leverage web based technology to provide streamlined and efficient application processing.

CU Business Capital is also partnering with Bizlendingcenter.com to offer unique commercial lease and equipment finance programs for credit union members. Many CU members require smaller equipment loans and commercial vehicle finance that can present a challenge for many CUs, however, our partnership will allow them to overcome this hurdle and offer competitive financing for this very large segment of CU members.

Our servicing will eliminate the need to purchase new business lending software or use existing retail solutions to process and service business loans. Our technological approach to business lending substantially reduces overall out of pocket expenses for credit unions, and provides a strong return on investment model. Our strong team of professionals deliver exceptional commercial lending operational experience, which is reflected in our training programs, and our overall lending operations.

On the lending side, CU Business Capital will provide full services also. They can originate and service both conventional and SBA loans. The servicing aspect of our business will be advantageous to credit unions as they will not have to rely on their retail lending system to process loans, and they can rely on our strong team of professionals to deliver exceptional commercial lending operations experience.

CU Business Capital, LLC professionals have over 200 years of experience in the financial services field. Bryan himself has 25 years of banking experience in commercial lending, cash management, retail and technology.

Bryan said "Credit unions can provide exactly what many of the 23 million small businesses are looking for, a membership lifestyle where you are not a number but a member, where personal relationships are very important. In order for credit unions to survive today, they need to be able to offer their members a complete suite of commercial financial services."

Any credit union that wants more information on CU Business Capital, LLC should call (800)-882-5018. The company will also have booth 915 at the NAFCU show July 13-16.
