The lender capital problem

Your held funds are bleeding. We stop it.

Construction reserves, rehab holdbacks, controlled disbursements — they sit dead in legacy escrow at 0%, exposed to commingling, slowed by manual reconciliation, and accountable to a third party instead of you.

The lender architecture

Held under your EIN. Custodied at Wells Fargo.

Not a neobank. Not a fintech wrapper. The same institutional custody trillions of dollars in pension assets sit on, configured for direct & private lenders.

01

Lender-controlled sub-accounts

Each loan, each draw, each holdback — its own sub-account under your master EIN. Three clicks to open. Never commingled.

Funds stay yours. No middleman approving when you can access them.
02

T-Bill yield, paid monthly

Treasury-backed yield on every idle balance. Daily accrual. Sweep rules configurable per sub-account. Optional yield-share with the borrower.

$425K idle at 4.5% = $16,000+/year of new revenue per lender.
03

48-hour onboarding

Initial clearance in two days. Sub-accounts open in under three clicks after that. Wells Fargo custody mechanics, modern UI.

No 60-day implementation. No professional services contract.
04

$250K audit coverage included

Per lender. A protection layer no other platform in this industry provides. Insurance-carrier-friendly custody posture.

Real cost reduction on your E&O and crime renewal.
