The Oregon Bankers Association (OBA), through its wholly-owned subsidiary Synergy by Association (Synergy), has endorsed BHG Financial (BHG), the creator of the largest community bank loan and product network in the country. BHG was awarded the endorsement following a due diligence process and approval by Synergy’s Board of Directors. Through this endorsement, OBA member banks can access the BHG Loan Hub, a secure, state-of-the-art loan delivery platform and the number-one source for medical and professional loans. Having underwritten over $100 billion in loans and funded over $15 billion in financial solutions to date, BHG has gained unmatched insight into these borrowers. OBA members can bid on and purchase individual loans via a daily auction or through the BHG Marketplace; purchase custom-built portfolios; or buy into a block purchase with other BHG bank customers. More than 1,550 banks have partnered with BHG to buy high-quality loans, earning them combined interest income of over $1.2 billion. “BHG has been an engaged Premier-level Associate Member and strong supporter of the OBA. We are excited to take the next step through this endorsement, which was an easy decision given their stellar reputation and unique ability to help banks efficiently invest their excess liquidity at an acceptable risk level,” said Synergy Senior Vice President Andee Rose. "We are so grateful to earn the endorsement of the OBA and Synergy and to deepen our strong relationship with the association and great bankers in Oregon,” said EVP of Institutional Relationships Keith Gruebele. “Personally, I appreciate the opportunity to serve the great banks in Oregon and throughout the PNW and am grateful for the trust and friendship with so many wonderful bankers across the region."
