Omar Jordan’s Hard Truths on Team, Trust, and Scaling to $10M+

Описание: In this episode of The Fintech Combine, host Kris Kovac sits down with Omar Jordan, founder & CEO of Coviance, to unpack how credit unions can deliver a true fintech experience in home equity and HELOC lending. Omar shares the origin story (from fax-era frustrations to 72-hour clear-to-close), why broken process and policy—not the LOS—slow lenders down, and what’s changed at Coviance over the last 18 months, from scaling the team to helping 450+ institutions modernize member lending.
