On Deck Selected To Present New Small Business Lending Solution At FinovateSpring 2012

NEW YORK, May 9, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- On Deck (www.ondeckcapital.com), the technology platform that connects Main Street directly to capital, has been selected to present at the FinovateSpring 2012 conference in San Francisco today. On Deck's Chief Operating Officer, Noah Breslow, will demonstrate how its latest technology innovation will allow financial institutions to leverage the On Deck platform to efficiently deliver capital to small businesses.

FinovateSpring 2012 is a two-day showcase of the latest innovations in financial technology (FinTech) from leading established companies and emerging young startups. The expected 1,100 attendees include bankers, investors, system integrators, technology vendors, industry analysts, and media representatives.

"On Deck is committed to using innovating technology to address the financial needs of small businesses and the financial institutions that support them," said Noah Breslow, president, On Deck. "Finovate is an influential event that showcases the most exciting new technologies in finance, and we look forward to demonstrating how the On Deck platform can make serving small business efficient and cost effective for financial institutions."

Traditionally, banks and other financial institutions have lacked the infrastructure to underwrite small businesses in an efficient and cost effective manner. As a result, lenders have been forced to judge small businesses largely based on the personal credit score of the business owner. However, the personal credit score does not accurately reflect the financial health of a business – and as a result millions of creditworthy small businesses are denied the capital they need to grow. Through On Deck's technology platform, organizations ranging from banks and credit unions to Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFI's) now have access to a highly efficient way to accurately judge this segment, and can vastly increase the number of small businesses they serve.

"At Finovate, we're always eager to witness technology that creates solutions to longstanding problems." said Eric Mattson, CEO, Finovate. "We're excited to see On Deck demonstrate how their technology will help financial institutions better serve small businesses."

After the conference, a recording of On Deck's demo will be available on the Finovate website.

To date, the On Deck system has delivered over $200M to Main Street businesses nationwide. On Deck is helping to solve financing challenges on Main Street by using data aggregation and electronic payment technology to efficiently and accurately analyze the financial health of a business and provide greater access to capital.
