Lenders Cooperative has integrated the Moov payment infrastructure into its unified lending platform to streamline money movement for mid-sized financial institutions. This integration allows banks and credit unions to manage loan funding, repayment, and fee collection directly within their current origination and servicing workflows.
Why it matters
By embedding payment tools into existing systems, this integration enables lenders to offer more flexible repayment options without the operational friction or high costs associated with replacing core banking software.
The integration targets financial institutions with assets ranging from $10 billion to $200 billion. The new infrastructure utilizes a single API to unify funding, repayment, and fee collection directly on the loan record.
The players
Lenders Cooperative
An Arlington-based technology firm providing specialized lending and servicing platforms for regional banks and credit unions.
Moov
A payment infrastructure provider that offers a unified API for managing complex money movement, including sending and receiving funds.
The details
The platform adds a ledger and automated money movement tools directly into existing origination systems. This allows lenders to process loan funding and remittance without requiring manual data entry or changes to their underlying core banking software. Because the payment movement posts directly to the loan record, it reduces the complexity of managing disparate accounting systems for servicing and collection.

Market Landscape
This integration marks a strategic move by Lenders Cooperative to bypass the rigid, siloed architecture typical of the legacy core banking systems used by mid-sized financial institutions. It reflects a broader industry trend of using API-based overlays to add functionality without costly platform migrations.
Operators at regional banks and credit unions should review their current loan servicing workflows to identify manual reconciliation points that could be eliminated by this automated ledger integration. Assess whether existing core software is limiting your ability to offer modern, high-speed payment options to borrowers.
The takeaway
The integration simplifies payment processing for lenders by unifying loan servicing data with external money movement tools. Review your current software's ability to integrate via API to determine if you can similarly streamline your lending operations without a full system upgrade.
