SAN DIEGO, Calif., July 1, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via PRWEB - First Associates Loan Servicing, the leading servicer in the online lending industry, has partnered with Promise Financial, the first marketplace lending platform exclusively focused on the underserved market for wedding finance.
In the U.S., there are approximately 2,000,000 weddings annually with an average cost of $30,000, yet prior to Promise Financial a dedicated financing option for weddings did not exist and many couples used expensive credit card financing to cover wedding expenses. Promise Financial is addressing that need by providing access to borrower-friendly loans which allow individuals to pay for weddings over time, with low rates, transparent pricing and no hidden fees. The platform offers a convenient online process, which underwrites applicants on a fully automated basis and delivers loan offers in just a few minutes.
"We are very pleased to partner with First Associates Loan Servicing," said Joshua Jersey, Co-Founder and CEO of Promise Financial. "Exceptional service is critical in the wedding business, so First Associates was the natural choice to entrust with servicing loans made through the Promise Financial platform. First Associates is the market leader in the online lending industry and their solid reputation along with their state-of-the-art technology and infrastructure assures us that borrowers are in good hands."
"We are very excited to partner with Promise Financial." said David Johnson, CEO of First Associates Loan Servicing. "Promise Financial is an exciting new entrant into the online lending space. Their unique model provides a much-needed financing option to engaged couples and their families. We look forward to growing with them."
First Associates has more than 25 years of industry experience in the consumer finance industry and has partnerships with the online lending industry's leading companies. In addition to primary servicing, the company offers support services, such as backup servicing, contract validation, verification calls, and title management.
