BALTIMORE (PRWEB) March 02, 2017 -- eOriginal, Inc., the digital transaction expert, today announced that it has joined the Marketplace Lending Association (MLA), the leading industry trade group. Directly aligned with eOriginal’s position as a pioneer in FinTech, MLA’s goal is to promote a transparent, efficient and customer-friendly financial system by supporting the responsible growth of marketplace lending, fostering innovation in financial technology and encouraging sound public policy.
“As Marketplace Lending continues to advance, stakeholders are concerned with the processes surrounding digital transactions, the integrity of what is being purchased, speed of execution and enabling processes that allow a multitude of players in different roles to participate, all while keeping rights, privileges and regulation in mind,” said eOriginal’s President and CEO Stephen Bisbee. “We are committed to provide our expertise to the industry as the complexity of online lending continues to expand.”
As a member of the MLA, eOriginal will focus on empowering industry-wide discussion on how technology can effectively enhance and enable digital transaction capabilities to more securely manage and transfer loan agreements as financial assets once completed and signed.

"The MLA is thrilled to welcome eOriginal as an Associate Member. eOriginal’s experience in policy issues surrounding electronic transactions and documentation will be a great asset to the MLA and its membership,” said Nathaniel Hoopes, MLA’s executive director. “MLA member companies continue to innovate and create new opportunities for borrowers and investors, the association will play an important role in sharing data and insights that help educate policy makers on the benefits that these companies bring to consumers, businesses and our financial system.”
