Topic: How to Win Business From Big Banks With Sophisticated Lending Tools

The last few weeks have catapulted community banks into the limelight and created unique opportunities to pick up new commercial relationships. Many community banks put forth great effort to accommodate PPP borrowers, opening the door to win relationships from larger institutions which may have been less responsive to their smaller clients. However, community banks must be able to serve potential small and medium-sized businesses which may require more sophisticated products such as interest rate hedging or larger loans. Matt Tevis from Chatham Financial, explains interest rate hedging and how it benefits the bank and the borrower and can protect against interest rate volatility. Zohar Goshen from Metechi, discusses how his firm enables smaller institutions to participate in the CRE, C&I and NPL participation and syndication market and serve larger borrowers.
