8-3-2021 EPIC Spotlight
Registration is Now Open for LendConnect 2021!!
This summer, unlike last year’s, seems much more normal in that offices are beginning to reopen across the country, schools expect to be back to in-person learning in a few weeks, conferences are planned for the second half of the year, like LendConnect and businesses seemed to be rebounding despite supply chain challenges. It’s been an interesting year to say the least!
The demand for small dollar lending should see an uptick due to current economic conditions. Inflation is on the rise as the U.S. is seeing the largest consumer price increase year-over-year since 2008. As consumers are squeezed by higher prices for gas, food and other daily expenses, demand for short term cash solutions will undoubtedly increase. With this opportunity will also come increased risk. Underwriting and collections processes will need to be tight to compensate.
You can be sure that your LMS will continue to adapt to address the needs of our clients. EPIC will be here to support the needs of each individual client whether online or storefront. We continue to develop and invest in advancing our capabilities through the ongoing releases of enhancements, new integrations, topical webinars with industry subject matter experts and value-add partners. Not to mention the return of our popular LendConnect Conference this year!

In recent years, he has studied the consequences of financial reform efforts passed by Congress like the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the government’s response to the 2008 financial crisis, including the Dodd-Frank Act, and the placement of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac into conservatorship. Berlau is no stranger to the media world. Berlau is an award-winning financial and political journalist.
Besides being a contributing writer for Forbes magazine, he has also been published and cited in The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, The Washington Post, Financial Times, Bloomberg News, The Atlantic, Politico, Daily Caller, Washington Examiner, Investor’s Business Daily, National Journal, National Review, American Spectator, Reason Magazine, and more.
