Lenders Cooperative, a leading provider of loan origination and servicing technology to US financial institutions, announced today that Lafayette Federal Credit Union has chosen its platform to modernize and enhance the credit union’s commercial lending operations. This partnership will enable Lafayette to automate workflows, improve efficiency, and better serve its small business members.

In addition to adopting Lenders Cooperative’s comprehensive lending platform, Lafayette Federal Credit Union has engaged the firm’s SBA Loan Service Provider (LSP) team.
