Chase Online Small Business Lending Partnership with OnDeck Launches


📅 - Last week, Chase announced the launch of their online small business lending program in partnership with alternative lender OnDeck. Chase's existing 4 million small business customers are being screened and invited to apply for loans through the program in amounts up to $250,000.

The program has been in the works since December, when Chase announced its partnership with OnDeck. The partnership will likely lead the way in similar pairings of large banks and smaller alternative lenders, who can benefit from the larger bank's existing customer base which keeps underwriting fees low and allows them to work with small business customers that traditionally would be rejected due to higher underwriting fees for small businesses.

The platform was created specifically for small business owners who are busy and want faster turnaround.

The rise of online lenders has been met with some scrutiny on the part of small business owners. Scams and dishonest lenders that have surfaced in the past continue to make applicants pay closer attention to lenders that operate online. Because the Chase name is trusted, this partnership has the potential to appeal to small business customers that don't usually trust online lenders.
