Watch Bill Zafirson, chief lending officer at Bellwether Community Credit Union, share how a journey that began with CUDL in 2007 has evolved into a unified lending strategy powered by Origence arc OS. From expanding dealer relationships with CUDL to launching arc OS for indirect lending and now adopting arc OS across all consumer loans, Bellwether’s partnership with Origence has fueled efficiency, profitability, and growth.
In a year-over-year comparison from 2023 to 2024, Bellwether’s automated approvals have skyrocketed from just 13 loans to 388 in a three-month period, with look-to-book ratios rising from 13% to over 20%—outpacing peers across New Hampshire.
Discover how adopting arc OS as a unified platform has streamlined Bellwether’s loan origination, accelerated funding, and strengthened dealer relationships—all powered by Origence’s hands-on, highly collaborative approach.
“When we compare a three-month period from 2023 to 2024, the old system versus the new system, one of the things that we saw is that we increased our automated approval rate from 13—which is very small—to 388 loans. Big, significant jump.”
