AUSTIN, TEXAS - Today Bankers Helping Bankers (BHB) announced a partnership with BankLabs to add a white label loan participation marketplace to the platform.
Established by FedFis and the Independent Bankers Association of Texas (IBAT) in late 2021, BHB connects bankers nationwide so that they can identify solutions that drive earnings and diversify sources of income. Its mission is to elevate and unite community banks across the United States to compete with large, entrenched financial institutions. |

The BHB loan marketplace will be powered by the BankLabs Participate product, the first patented end-to-end participation loan management tool for both originators and participants. Participate is a single platform to manage all loan participations, existing or new, bought or sold. It allows originators and participants to digitize and share loan info, documents, and automate workflow. Participate can cut weeks off the traditionally slow origination process, giving banks the additional liquidity and flexibility needed to maximize profits.
“For BHB to fulfill its promise of helping banks drive earnings, we must give community banks every tool we can to address their challenges and opportunities. As we got to know BankLabs Participate, it was clear that it would enable and empower lenders to say ‘yes,’ even when facing traditional concentration and lending limit roadblocks,” said Dave Mayo, Chief Executive Officer of FedFis.
“We are on a mission to democratize loan trading for all banks, not just those with capital market desks. With Participate, BHB member banks will be able to digitally manage their balance sheet, avoid lending limit and concentration risk, deploy excess liquidity, improve loan yield, and increase non-interest fee income. We could not have found a better partner in BHB.”, said Matt Johnner, President of BankLabs.
The BHB loan marketplace will launch in late 2022.
