2022 Annual Report
Chairperson and President's Report
We are proud to report that 2022 was the best year ever for Origence, marked by record-setting achievements and transformative initiatives. As a credit union service organization (CUSO), this success truly belongs to our credit union partners and their continued support.
In 2022, Origence remained true to our vision to create the ultimate origination experience, serving 1,100 credit unions representing 64 million members. Our dealer coverage now includes 19,700 dealerships on the CUDL® network.
This network effect helped fuel our Total Funded Loans, which reached an all-time high of $79.7 billion, with $67.1 billion attributed to Indirect Loans. Credit unions funded an astounding 2.7 million loans through our platforms, with 1.7 million of those funded digitally through Smart Fund, our e-contracting solution. Origence Lending Services, our subsidiary, which allows credit unions to outsource their loan processing, also turned in a record year with an 83% increase in Loans Funded over 2021. As a result of this positive performance, we were excited to announce a $50 per share dividend payment to shareholders.
