Lenders are turning to the private student loan market to find new, young customers, establish relationships with them, and over time sell more lucrative loans and financial services. According to MeasureOne, a San Francisco based firm that tracks the student loan industry, “Private student loans for undergraduates and graduates attending college totaled just over $6.7 billion for the 2014-15 academic year, up 14 percent and the third consecutive increase since the market bottomed out in 2010-11.”
The AppWorks platform gives Entech an end-to-end loan solution that streamlines the lending process with completely configurable features for each stage in the loan lifecycle. For student lending, it includes a web portal for school certifications and disbursements, plus integrations to all major loan servicers and industry trading partners. AppWorks will be integrated with other Entech products that provide advanced Omni-channel delivery and automated loan rate management.
The All1Team executive team of Cheri DeBlasio, Chief Executive Officer, and Doug Hawks, Executive Vice President will be joining Entech. Both are industry veterans that bring over 25 years of experience and expertise guiding banks, credit unions, and other financial institutions entering the student loan space or expanding their current operations.
“The student loan industry is looking for systems transformation, and the combination of Entech and All1Team is a perfect fit. It creates a fully integrated solution with advanced software, veteran expertise, and innovative delivery capabilities.” said Cheri DeBlasio, CEO of All1Team.
