LendingUSA Named “Emerging Lending Platform of the Year” at LendIt Fintech USA 2018
SHERMAN OAKS, Calif. (PRWEB) April 12, 2018 -- LendingUSA, a leading provider of point-of-need financing, has been chosen as Emerging Lending Platform of the Year at the second annual LendIt Fintech Industry Awards. Selected as one of six finalists from hundreds of applicants, the company was chosen as “the organization that demonstrated the greatest potential to impact the future of online lending.”
The award was announced April 10 at LendIt Fintech’s Industry Awards Dinner in San Francisco, as part of its annual conference. Judges included executives from HSBC Bank, Moody’s, Deloitte, Orchard, Prosper and others.
Camilo Concha, founder and CEO of the company, says the award demonstrates the value in LendingUSA’s unique approach, which "marries the two core elements of our business: point-of-sale and direct to consumer financing."
“This is an extremely proud moment for us," says Concha. "LendingUSA first attended LendIt just a few years ago, where it all started, and it continues to be the most important conference we attend every year. When my team and I founded LendingUSA, we knew we wanted to create a lending platform committed to a new approach to financing. This recognition from LendIt, which brings together the brightest minds in Fintech, indicates that the industry is ready to welcome change.”
