Venture Bank Selects ET for Consumer Loan Technology5 August 2006
Venture Bank of Lacey, Wash., announced today its selection of Enhanced Technology Financial Services of Olympia, Wash., to provide the bank with consumer loan technology through ET's proprietary OSCAR(r) system and team.
The technology will enable customers to access an online auto financing option through Venture Bank's website or inside any of their financial centers. Through this option, customers can specify and price a vehicle, estimate their loan payment and apply for a loan. After submitting their information, customers will know whether they have been approved for the loan within minutes, often in as little as just eight seconds.
"We are delighted to add ET's technology and services to our toolkit for servicing our customers," said Jim Arneson, Venture Bank's President and CEO. "Our consumer customers are important to us. Anytime we can speed our response to our customers and allow them access to service where, and when they want it, including through our website, we want to do it."
"Customers today expect a very rapid response from their bankers; that's one of the key ways they define 'good service,'" said Darcy Huffman, ET's Vice President-Marketing.
