noah breslowNoah Breslow, CEO of OnDeck, described Q4 as delivering a strong performance;

“In the fourth quarter total originations grew 51% year-over-year, powered by continued momentum in our Direct and Strategic Partner channels and demonstrating the appeal of OnDeck’s complete credit solution and loyalty benefits to qualified small businesses. Also during the fourth quarter, OnDeck announced a strategic relationship with JPMorgan Chase, through which the OnDeck Score and OnDeck’s integrated technology platform will help underwrite and service loans to qualified Chase small business customers. We believe these achievements validate OnDeck’s expertise in online small business lending, reinforce our market leadership and position our company well for continued high-quality growth in the years to come.”
