In addition, David Becker, President and CEO of First Internet Bank and Chairman, President and CEO of First Internet Bancorp, will join Lendeavor’s Board of Directors.

We chose to partner with Lendeavor because they share our commitment to solving banking and financing challenges through extraordinary customer experience and innovative technology.”

“David Becker and the First Internet Bank team are the perfect partners for a scaling fintech company,” said Daniel Titcomb, co-founder and CEO of Lendeavor. “With an approach to innovation and flexibility we’ve not seen elsewhere in the industry, First Internet Bank enables us to give practice owners well-deserved access to a truly unparalleled combination of branchless banking products and streamlined practice financing.”
