"Blend's goal is to create a more intelligent, data-driven lending ecosystem where consumers can get approvals in one tap," said Brian Kneafsey, head of client operations for Blend. "Partnering with innovative lenders like FGMC allows us to work together to provide a user experience that borrowers love, while driving major efficiency on the lender side."
