Invest In Your Future
Customized Member Business Lending & Credit Administrative Services
We guide our clients through the new and complex world of business banking. By instituting a Member Business Lending program, credit unions can now offer a full range of business services to their members, providing them one stop shopping for all their banking needs while at the same time realizing a significant opportunity for growth in members, deposits, loans and related fee/interest income. Octant’s personnel have over 100 years combined experience in business lending and want to share that knowledge with those credit unions whose vision it is to build commercial loan and deposit growth. Contact us today at info@octant.us for more information on beginning or expanding your current Member Business Lending program.
