Job Description Job Description THE COMPANY The LoanWell team launched the company in 2017, with a mission to help increase access to capital for those typically left out of the financial system and for the small businesses that power our local and national economies. Being a majority black-owned FinTech located a block away from the famous Black Wall Street in Durham, NC, our vision is to create the “connective tissue” and “plumbing infrastructure” to facilitate Affordable Capital for All; CDFIs lending to borrowers, Banks participating with CDFIs on SMB loans, Banks lending to CDFIs, and Banks purchasing CDFI SMB loans. THE PRODUCT LoanWell is using AI to drive automated underwriting and decisioning for mission driven lenders to help them deploy the most affordable capital more efficiently. Through products like our End-to-End Loan Origination System, Underwriting as a Service, and our Loan Referral Marketplace, our sights are set on creating systemic change in our industry so that smaller mission driven lenders can compete with the online lenders that dominate with high interest rates and/or predatory products.
