About Us
Octant Business Services, LLC was founded in 2004 and is a jointly owned credit union service organization (CUSO) that provides high quality, affordable, safe and sound business lending products and services that allow client credit unions to offer commercial and member business loans (CMBL).
For those credit unions that do not want to incur the time and cost of implementing an in-house commercial lending department, Octant provides a comprehensive solution to the Member Business Loan offering. Our owners acted upon a mutual belief that business loans were both a member need and an accelerant for credit union growth and that by forming Octant, not only could each credit union serve its own members’ needs but those of other credit unions as well.
Octant is continually developing and delivering CMBL products and services that add value and assist our client credit unions in meeting the needs of their members while complying with NCUA regulatory lending rules and commercial lending safety and soundness guidelines.
