The Federal Reserve Bank of New York released its 2016 small business credit survey yesterday and the data shows some bad news for online lenders; big banks, small banks and credit unions all scored higher on the survey than online lenders when it comes to access to capital; one of the more telling pieces of data from the report was that online lenders scored lower than banks on transparency; fintechs did score higher on speed of application and ease of process; not all bad news but still points out the advantage that banks have when it comes to cost of capital.
