Will Tumulty shared thisSmaller business loans can be tough for banks to make work. The demand is there, but the manual work adds up quickly. It doesn’t have to mean a major systems overhaul. In the September issue of BankNews BankBeat, I share a few ways automation can take some of the manual work off the table and give relationship managers more time with their customers. My Field Notes article, “Turning Small-Dollar Lending Into Scalable Opportunity,” is available in the September print edition. Thanks to BankNews for the opportunity to talk about small business lending!

Will Tumulty shared thisSince 2005, we’ve been committed to getting small businesses capital at the speed of business. Their business! Now, through our Embedded Lending solution, we enable financial institutions to deliver capital at the speed of small business, too, with faster decisions and seamless access to financing through the channels their SMB clients already trust. In a recent article for Bank Business, I explore how AI can make this model even more powerful: https://hubs.ly/Q04sLPWR0 #EmbeddedLending #SmallBusinessLending

Will Tumulty shared thisZombie businesses are back, and AI is making them harder to catch. But our team has the insight tackle this problem. In a recent FinAi News article, Patrick Lord, Senior Project Manager here at Rapid Finance, shares how fraudsters are bringing dormant or dissolved businesses back to life (on paper, no real zombies here), then using AI-generated documents to make fraudulent lending applications appear credible. For SMB lenders, the risk of zombie businesses is clear: as fraud tactics like this evolve, detection needs to keep pace. Because when fraudsters bring these businesses back, lenders need the tools, data, and human judgment, to recognize what is real and what is not. Read the article here: https://hubs.ly/Q04mZ_LC0

Will Tumulty shared thisSmall businesses need capital but, too often, getting that capital is slower and harder than it should be. This is the gap that modern lending infrastructure can help close. In my new guest article for The Green Sheet, I share why lending infrastructure matters and how it can help make SMB funding faster, more accessible, and better aligned with how today's SMBs operate. Thank you to The Green Sheet for the opportunity to share my perspective. Read the full article here: https://hubs.ly/Q04lb-sT0

Will Tumulty shared thisAI is fundamentally changing SMB lending. In my latest article for AI Journal, I discuss how FIs are using AI to move from traditional underwriting and toward faster, smarter and more contextual decisioning. We see a major shift: - Automation is reducing friction in the lending process - AI-driven models help expand capital access for underserved SMBs - Lenders are balancing growth, speed and risk in entirely new ways The institutions that succeed will be the ones that combine innovation with responsible implementation, and use AI not just to improve efficiency, but to create better outcomes for small businesses. I appreciate AI Journal for the opportunity to contribute! Read the article here: https://hubs.ly/Q04hXwq70

Will Tumulty shared thisSmall business lending is one of the earliest signals of where the economy is headed. When small businesses borrow, it reflects confidence and growth. When they pull back, it’s often an early warning sign. I recently shared my perspective with Global FinTech Series on why SMB lending continues to lead broader indicators like GDP: 👉I think it's worth a read! https://hubs.ly/Q04cw21w0Why Small Business Lending Is an Early Indicator of Economic MomentumWhy Small Business Lending Is an Early Indicator of Economic Momentum

Kicking off the conference today and looking forward to a strong few days ahead meeting with friends, colleagues, and new intros. Heading in with a lot of momentum — we closed just over $4.5M in new annual recurring revenue (ARR) in January across servicing, default, legal, and technology engagements. What I’m most proud of isn’t the volume — it’s the partners behind it. I’m fortunate to represent and work alongside organizations that are true market leaders in their respective verticals — platforms that are driving innovation, execution, and real results for the clients they serve. When you align with best-in-class operators, growth tends to follow. This industry runs on relationships and trust, and I’m grateful for the confidence so many continue to place in both me and the partners I support. If you’re attending, let’s connect. Looking forward to a productive week. #MortgageServicing #DefaultLifecycle #BusinessDevelopment #IndustryPartnerships #ConferenceSeason

I enjoyed speaking with Bill Butryn on the recent Automated Financial Systems, Inc. (AFS) webinar that covered the Syndicated Loan Markets for Mid-Sized Banks. Great discussion about the opportunities for mid-size banks that are looking to expand their Syndications capabilities across people, process and technology. Amid rapid changes in pricing and structures in the global capital markets, it’s crucial to have the right technology stack and partners to execute in a fast pace and fluid market. Please see link for full discussion. (https://lnkd.in/eFvzQD65)

I’m happy to be quoted in the latest American Banker article discussing the continued rise of ACH volumes and what this means for banks, businesses, and the broader payments ecosystem. This article aligns with my recent research on the urgent need for ACH modernization. As volumes grow and use cases expand, from pay‑by‑bank to same‑day ACH, a modernization strategy is no longer optional. Banks that act now will be better positioned to manage risk, support innovation, and compete in a rapidly shifting payments landscape. You can read the report and article here: https://lnkd.in/eKxVBhbZ https://lnkd.in/e2xunnQt Appreciate the opportunity to contribute to this important discussion and looking forward to more conversations about where ACH—and the broader payments industry—is headed next. #Payments #ACH #BankingInnovation #DatosInsights #AmericanBanker #Modernization #PayByBank #CommercialBanking
