For lenders and digital platforms, every borrower interaction is an opportunity - not just to fund a loan, but to build a relationship, grow revenue, and increase lifetime value.

In a competitive market where margins are tightening, conversion, cross-sell potential, and operational efficiency matter more than ever. A borrower experience that feels confusing or incomplete doesn’t just frustrate applicants -  it directly impacts your conversion rates and profitability.

That’s why we built Borrower Platform Templates: to give you the control and flexibility to design borrower experiences that not only convert faster but also open new revenue channels and reduce operational friction.

With this launch, you can turn your borrower platform into a growth engine. One that automatically guides applicants to the right product, introduces complementary offerings like business insurance or credit-building tools, and creates monetization opportunities at every step of the process.

When your platform intelligently connects borrowers to the right solution, even in scenarios where they might otherwise be declined, you don’t just serve more customers - you generate more revenue per interaction, strengthen retention, and create a differentiated experience that keeps your brand top-of-mind.

Because a great borrower journey doesn’t just make your applicants happy - it makes your business stronger.

Driving Real-World Value Through Custom Use Cases

What truly sets this update apart is how it enables lenders, fintechs, and marketplaces to extend their borrower experience beyond lending. Here are just a few examples of how organizations are already using Borrower Platform Templates to unlock new value:

1. Embedding Value-Added Services like Business Insurance

Certain loan types, such as SBA loans, require borrowers to carry business insurance before funding. With Borrower Platform Templates, you can now create a dedicated business insurance tab that appears automatically when a borrower accepts an offer requiring coverage. 

This can be done for a range of different add-on products to provide clear next steps, educational content, and even direct links to integrated partners. Not only does this reduce friction for the borrower, but it also creates a new revenue opportunity for you. By helping borrowers fulfill requirements in-platform, you maintain control of the experience and generate additional income from associated services.

2. Turning Declines into Opportunities with Intelligent Turndown Flows

Sometimes, an applicant doesn’t qualify for a loan - don’t let that be the end of the relationship. Borrower Platform Templates make it easy to introduce alternative routes like credit-building programs or consumer loan options when a borrower is ineligible.

For instance, if a borrower’s credit score is too low, your platform can guide them toward a credit builder product. If their business is too new, it might automatically present a short-term consumer loan alternative. These smart flows help borrowers still get the funding they need while enabling your business to monetize declined applications - either through in-house offerings or commissions from partner providers.

The result? You retain customers who might otherwise leave, strengthen trust through transparency, and create a more complete financial ecosystem within your own platform.

3. Extending Lending Experiences Beyond Your Platform

Borrower Platform Templates also empower businesses that want to embed lending into their existing ecosystems. For example, a marketplace offering small business tools can seamlessly add loan options into its platform, giving users access to financing without redirecting them elsewhere.

Similarly, lender networks can use templates to connect borrowers from external systems directly into their underwriting process-maintaining control, ensuring compliance, and streamlining conversions from partner channels.

This embedded approach increases engagement, strengthens brand loyalty, and opens new partnership models where your borrower experience becomes part of a larger digital ecosystem.

Smarter Engagement Through AI and Dynamic Content

In addition to these powerful use cases, Borrower Platform Templates come with new tools designed to enhance engagement and increase conversion:

  • AI-Powered Homepage Assistant: Welcome visitors with an intelligent assistant that can capture applications, answer questions, or guide borrowers before they even log in. This not only improves responsiveness but also helps convert interest into applications more efficiently.

  • Custom Tabs and Content Blocks: Add rich, dynamic elements like product highlights, educational resources, or promotional offers. Whether it’s FAQs, new loan options, or partner services, every touchpoint can reinforce trust and help borrowers take confident next steps.

These features make your borrower platform not just functional but intuitive, human, and scalable.

Turning Borrower Experience Into a Competitive Advantage

Borrower Platform Templates aren’t just about design-they’re about growth. They help you create borrower journeys that are faster, smarter, and more profitable. Whether it’s embedding insurance offerings, presenting alternative financing paths, or integrating directly with partner ecosystems, this new capability lets you do more with every interaction.

By meeting borrowers where they are, guiding them clearly, and expanding what your platform can offer, you don’t just close more loans-you create long-term relationships and new revenue streams that keep borrowers coming back.
