As member expectations continue to be shaped by digital-first lenders and fintechs, The Atlantic Federal Credit Union (The Atlantic FCU) recognized an opportunity to reimagine one of the most critical drivers of growth in community banking: consumer lending.

The goal extended far beyond digitizing a loan application. The Atlantic FCU sought to streamline the entire journey—from application to funding—eliminating friction for prospective members while bringing loan origination, deposit origination, and membership enrollment together in a single, seamless experience. To achieve that vision, the credit union partnered with MANTL as part of a development cohort of more than 10 forward-thinking financial institutions helping shape the future of consumer lending.

The Atlantic FCU worked with MANTL to transform lending into a unified digital journey. With MANTL Loan Origination, the credit union is now embedding eligibility verification and membership enrollment directly into the loan application process, helping prospective members move from application to account opening with fewer steps and less friction. The streamlined experience also empowers team members to work more efficiently while creating opportunities to deepen the member relationship.

The impact has been significant, The Atlantic FCU:

• Reduced the time required to open a consumer loan account—including member enrollment—from as long as two days to just six minutes, delivering the speed and simplicity today’s consumers expect
• Achieved 80% submission rate for personal loans
• Eliminated document collection for 67% of personal loans booked over the last 90 days
• Re-engaged 80% of abandoned applications through automated reminder emails
