The Envestnet Credit Exchange provides MMLIS IA reps with access to a broad range of residential real estate and unsecured lending providers. MMLIS IA reps can introduce loan opportunities to their clients to help meet what is typically their largest loan—a mortgage—together with unsecured loans for funding virtually any other need.
According to the Federal Reserve Board of New York, mortgages comprised 69% of consumers’ personal credit balances as of the end of the first quarter of 2021. At quarter-end, there had been 116 million credit inquiries made by Americans in the previous six months.
The Envestnet Credit Exchange helps wealth managers support more client financial goals, such as cash flow, education, home purchases and refinancing, business investments, and tax obligations.
