Marquette Business Credit announced at the close of October new business commitments in 2015 jumped to $103 million, up 49% from the same time last year. With two months still left in the year, 2015 has already proven to be the best year in MBC’s 11-year history.

This past June, Marquette became a subsidiary of UMB Bank (a subsidiary of UMB Financial) and their partnership instantaneously provided opportunities for growth and expansion. With the support of UMB, Marquette quickly and comfortably transitioned into a slightly larger mid-sized facility marketplace while at the same time becoming one of the most competitively priced lenders out there.

Ron Vanek, president of MBC, said, “2015 is already a record breaking year for Marquette. We are excited to see this expansion into the larger deal market and anticipate more new business by year end. There have been so many changes this past year and our partnership with UMB has enabled us to offer products with a new competitive price point and other treasury management support services that we were unable to do before. With our recent launch to a national platform, we are now capable to sustain such unprecedented growth. It’s an exciting time to be a part of Marquette.”
