You know you’re having a pretty nice year when the $8 million in debt financing you just raised is the third or fourth item in your list of announcements. LendKey announced a number of major milestones this week. In addition to securing an $8 million venture debt line from Silicon Valley Bank, the lending-as-a-service innovator reached $800 million in loans deployed to more than 35,000 borrowers, and won a commitment of $125 million from its own lending network of more than 300 credit unions and banks. Founder and CEO of LendKey Vince Passione pointed to the way his company served as the bridge between traditional lenders and the opportunities in online ending. “With our technology, community financial institutions can succeed in the $3.2 trillion consumer lending market, offering increased choice, transparency, lower rates, and a seamless digital experience,” Passione said.
