CUNA Mutual announces acquisition of Mirador

December 5, 2018

CUNA Mutual Group today announced the acquisition of Portland, Ore.-based Mirador, a financial technology startup company that delivers a digital small business lending platform.

CUNA Mutual Group became a minority investor in Mirador through its venture capital entity, CMFG Ventures, LLC, in August 2017.

“As a current investor in Mirador, we know first-hand the strength of their team and power of their platform,” said Robert N. Trunzo, CUNA Mutual Group president/CEO. “Through this acquisition, Mirador’s digital lending platform will complement our existing portfolio of lending solutions to help credit unions grow small business loans and deliver an exceptional lending experience to their members."

Mirador’s leading digital lending platform powers a new type of relationship between small businesses and lenders, enabling banks and credit unions to profitably decision loans within 24 hours or less. The Mirador platform is designed to provide a fast, smart and secure cloud-based experience that turns burdensome paperwork into a streamlined, efficient process to the delight of borrowers and lenders, and connects small businesses to the funds they need to grow through its digital lending marketplace. Mirador works with banks, credit unions, and financial institutions across the country.

“Today’s small business lending marketplace requires traditional lenders to couple their approach to relationship banking with greater efficiency and scale. Borrowers expect a fully digital and intuitive experience,” said Trevor Dryer, cofounder and CEO, Mirador. “We are happy to be working alongside CUNA Mutual Group as we strive to eliminate friction in the small business lending process and bring a new standard of service to small business lending across the financial services industry.”

Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
