Common questions
What credit unions ask us
Does LendPipe support member business loans (MBLs) specifically?
Yes. LendPipe handles the full MBL underwriting workflow — document collection and classification, financial spreading across the member-borrower and any guarantors, ratio analysis against your credit union's MBL policy parameters, and credit memo generation. Whether the loan is a commercial real estate purchase, a business term loan, or a working capital line, the workflow is the same.
Is LendPipe compatible with NCUA examination requirements?
LendPipe is designed with examiner auditability in mind. Every financial figure extracted by AI is traced back to its source document, so examiners can verify any number instantly. Credit memos are consistent, thorough, and follow a structured format. The system maintains a complete record of what was reviewed, when, and by whom — which is exactly what NCUA examiners look for in a well-documented credit process.
Can we configure our own DSCR thresholds, loan-to-value limits, and credit policy parameters?
Your credit union's credit policy is loaded directly into LendPipe's screening engine. You define the minimum DSCR by loan type, maximum LTV by collateral category, leverage thresholds, and any concentration limits your board has approved. When an analyst reviews a deal, any policy exceptions are flagged automatically — and documented in the credit memo as conditions or exception justifications.
How does LendPipe integrate with our existing core banking system?
LendPipe operates as a standalone credit analysis layer and does not require core integration to deliver value. Analysts upload borrower documents directly, and results are exported as PDF reports or structured data that can be attached to your existing loan file. For credit unions that want deeper integration, LendPipe supports data export via API. Most teams find the standalone workflow is sufficient for origination, with core integration being a later-phase enhancement.
What loan volume makes LendPipe worthwhile for a credit union?
Credit unions processing as few as 5–10 commercial loans per month see meaningful time savings. At that volume, analysts typically recover 20–40 hours per month that previously went to manual spreading and memo writing. For credit unions closing 20 or more deals monthly, the capacity freed up is often equivalent to half a full-time analyst position — which is a clear return on investment. The economics improve further as volume grows.
