Digital lenders are poised to capitalize on the positive global sentiment that consumers and investors have towards fintech. And one of those companies is Riverbank.

Digitized loan process

Riverbank, a Luxembourg-based fintech, has announced that it has launched a fully digital lending application for advisers and intermediaries in the professional real estate sector.

Riverbank has called this digital proposal a “funnel” and says it is much faster than traditional application processes and offers tailored solutions.

The funnel process is intended for advisers representing their clients in the professional real estate sector, whether they are developers of real estate projects, SMEs with experience in real estate or private individuals.

With this platform, advisors can apply for loans between €750K and €5M with a maturity of one to seven years.

The company also provides applicants with access to a wide range of loans in terms of variety, from regular home loans to bridging loans, including renovation and (re)development of properties.

Since it is digital, a candidate can check their progress and edit each entry before final submission.

Robin Rinkes, Executive Committee Member and Head of Origination at RiverBank, said: “We are excited to launch this digital application process as we believe we can really help our partners with faster and more personalized funding services. . Our mission is to be the digital bank that facilitates the financing of SMEs and real estate professionals. This is exactly what the funnel does.

The digital proposal is now online in Belgium, France, Germany, Luxembourg and the Netherlands.
