Integration Combines the Powerful RMA eMentor Platform
with Leading Industry Intelligence from Vertical IQ
Philadelphia, PA (February 23, 2021)—The Risk Management
Association (RMA), a member-driven association with a mission to elevate the
practice of sound risk management principles at financial institutions, today
announced it has added Vertical IQ Industry Intelligence to RMA’s eMentor
platform. The partnership provides bankers with the tools they need to make
better credit decisions and deepen customer relationships.
The updated eMentor solution combines timely and actionable Vertical
IQ Industry Intelligence with well-vetted credit risk management guidance to provide
a single source of readiness information for credit and lending professionals. Clients
appreciate a well-prepared banker who knows their industry, understands the
pain points, and can successfully structure loans that match the bank’s risk
appetite.
“With the
addition of Vertical IQ’s industry knowledge, RMA makes a great platform even
more indispensable for the bankers who rely on eMentor to understand the risks
and opportunities financial institutions and borrowers face,” said RMA President
and CEO Nancy Foster. “eMentor powered by Vertical IQ arms bankers with the
market intelligence that is crucial throughout the life of the loan—from
initial meetings with borrowers, to putting together a financing package that
is right for them, to monitoring loan performance.”
"Bankers need to be ready to add value to their clients
from the very first meeting," said Bobby Martin, CEO, Vertical IQ. "Combining
Vertical IQ’s leading Industry Intelligence with RMA’s trusted financial data prepares
bankers and their underwriting colleagues to be more confident and capable advisors."
RMA’s decision to include some of the best insights from
Vertical IQ in its eMentor platform ensures that both credit and lending teams
have the resources they need to successfully win, grow, and retain more
business.
