Bowmark backs commercial finance technology leader Lendscape

The company’s software and technology underpin the secured lending offerings of over 120 banks and financial institutions worldwide. Its platform supports the management of over $200 billion of lending annually, ensuring the fulfilment of the complex operational, reporting, data and security requirements of commercial lenders, spanning invoice, supply chain and asset finance.

Founded in 1972, Lendscape has attained a leading market position through its proprietary technology, high quality service offering and deep market knowledge.

Bowmark shares our vision for the business and, with their help and support, we will accelerate our plans for innovation and increase our global reach, bringing advanced technology solutions to more secured finance providers worldwide."

Kevin Day, Lendscape chief executive, said: “Bowmark’s investment will help us to shape the future of commercial lending and enable providers to keep pace with customers’ evolving needs. As demonstrated by our new, cloud-native asset finance solution, technology can lift the administrative burden and improve efficiency, as well as giving finance providers the flexibility to scale their operations and tailor products for their customers.”
