Platform Under Review by AWS AI Accelerator Partner Devoteam; FinTech Delivers 10× Faster Loan Processing
DOVER, Del., Oct. 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — SecureLend Inc today announced the commercial launch of its AI-powered lending platform, designed to make loan origination up to 10× faster and 60% more cost-efficient for community banks, factoring companies, and alternative lenders. The Delaware-based fintech is the first to introduce a large language model (LLM)-agnostic architecture, enabling institutions to switch seamlessly between OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, DeepSeek, and others—eliminating vendor lock-in.
Global technology consultancy Devoteam is reviewing SecureLend’s AI credit scoring capabilities as part of Amazon Web Services’ AI Accelerator Program, placing SecureLend among a select group of enterprise-scale AI solutions under evaluation.
Community banks face mounting pressure from digital-first competitors. Over decades, their share of banking assets has halved, and in key segments like small business lending, digital challengers now capture 30–50% of new business annually (FDIC). Without modernization, losses could reach double-digit declines per year.
A Freddie Mac study estimates manual mortgage origination costs around $11,600 per loan, driven by document verification and underwriting. SecureLend automates these workflows end-to-end—from AI-powered borrower communication to credit memo generation—reducing costs and accelerating processing.
“Community banks are the backbone of local economies, but manual processes can’t compete with digital speed,” said Tobias Pfuetze, founder and CEO of SecureLend. “We give every bank its own AI lending team that works 24/7 while maintaining compliance and personal touch.”
Pfuetze, who previously originated assets for Tower Community Bank, Thread Bank, and Broadriver Asset Management, founded SecureLend after a decade in fintech innovation, beginning with his 2011 QR-based payments startup PAYMEY.
Platform Highlights
- Dedicated AI agents (e.g., application@yourbank.securelend.ai) for borrower communication and document collection
- Enterprise-grade OCR via AWS Textract with 99.5% accuracy
- Multi-source risk assessment with Equifax, Experian, and Dun & Bradstreet
- AI-generated underwriting memos using institutional templates
- Instant model switching for optimal cost-performance balance
- SOC 2 Type II monitoring via trustcloud.ai, audit completion expected Q1 2026
Early pilots show 90% faster processing, 67% higher conversion rates, and full automation of borrower communications. Factoring firms achieve same-day funding, while alternative lenders scale portfolios without adding staff.
The platform integrates with FIS, Jack Henry, Xero, and QuickBooks for seamless adoption.
“We’re not just digitizing old workflows—we’re reimagining how lending operates in the AI era,” added Pfuetze. “Banks can mix and match the best models—Claude for analysis, GPT-4 for communication, DeepSeek for batch tasks—all through one orchestration layer.”
With the $172 billion U.S. factoring market growing 9.4% annually and alternative lending expanding 25.4% CAGR (Grand View Research), SecureLend’s modular AI architecture positions it to serve a $30 trillion private credit market (McKinsey).
SecureLend offers a one-month risk-free beta for institutions processing $10 million+ in annual loan volume.
