By Lauren Towner · 7 August 2024

Brankas and Boost Capital have launched LoanLink, the first chat-based lending solution of its kind in Southeast Asia. LoanLink provides a user-friendly chat interface that facilitates seamless integration and instant loan applications. By eliminating manual processes, complex integrations, and incomplete applications, this digital-first approach enhances efficiency and reduces operational expenses.
LoanLink offers a fully-digital loan application channel to traditional companies, banks, fintechs, and financial institutions. Organizations can now provide a loan process that is both accessible and seamless by utilizing chat-based interactions. This enables customers to access loans from any location and at any time. By providing a convenient and efficient method of loan application, this guarantees a broader market reach beyond physical branches
"We are excited to launch LoanLink, a solution that sets a new standard for digital lending," stated Todd Schweitzer, CEO of Brankas. "Fintechs and businesses that want to enter the lending space can now easily do so by leveraging this out-of-the-box platform. This helps to level the playing field, giving borrowers the power to pick the lender with the best UX and rates."
Here's how it works: applicants start by applying via chat, complete eKYC, upload necessary documents, and link their accounts. Within minutes, they receive approval and can manage repayments through the same chat interface. This streamlined process not only improves borrower satisfaction but also boosts operational efficiency, making LoanLink a game-changer in the lending industry.
LoanLink leverages the combined expertise of Brankas and Boost Capital. Brankas provides advanced open banking APIs that ensure secure and compliant integrations with financial institutions, while Boost Capital offers a white-labeled tech platform that enables banks to onboard customers through popular chat platforms such as Facebook Messenger, Telegram, and WhatsApp. Together, they deliver a comprehensive solution that enhances the borrower experience and operational agility.
