WILMINGTON, Del.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Bancorp Institutional Banking announces the launch of TALEA™ (ta-LAY-a), a new loan automation platform, that enables speed and simplicity in loan origination for the Securities-Backed Line of Credit (SBLOC) offering.
Developed and powered by The Bancorp, Talea automates the loan origination process and significantly reduces approval and funding time, with the potential for 24-hour underwriting and funding. Talea’s cutting-edge technology gives clients faster access to the borrowing power of their investment portfolio. Its superior responsiveness lets advisors and clients act quickly in response to changing financial circumstances and new opportunities.
For wealth managers, Talea helps leverage new opportunities for portfolio growth and revenue generation. Advisors can reach a broader client base with SBLOC solutions and enhance the advisor-client relationship with more holistic services.
Talea’s additional benefits include faster response time for drawing power simulations; improved risk management of customer portfolios; potentially greater drawing power using same advance rate policy; better data management; and more precise tools to track/respond to volatility.
“We are thrilled about the launch of Talea and the promise it has for our wealth management partners,” said John Leto, Executive Vice President, Head of Institutional Banking. “Talea is much more than just tech; it brings together experienced people, vastly improved business processes and smart technology to create the industry’s best advisor/end-client lending experience.”
