adminHomeowners are staying in place, canceling vacations and considering how to make their dwellings more satisfying safe havens during the pandemic. A recent study conducted by Houzz says nearly 80% of homeowners planned on completing home improvement projects in the short term. An article on remodeling.hw.net says, “U.S. Census Bureau data suggests that from March to June, home improvement-focused retail sales have grown 11.8%, while overall retail sales have decreased by 3.6%.”

Built by lending industry veterans, LendKey provides credit unions access to prime consumers through private student loans, student loan refinancing and home improvement loans. Their partner lenders go digital in months, not years.

LendKey credit union partners also benefit from unique liquidity options including a customized, white-labeled full-balance sheet option, a modern participation program, and a forward sale program.
