This midwest-based community bank already knew hedging worked. After 10 years with a traditional provider, the bank understood how swaps could support borrowers and loan growth but wanted a simpler, more lender-friendly way to turn hedging into a proactive growth strategy.
Schedule a CallManagement was not looking for a reason to hedge. They were looking for a better way to do it. After a decade with a traditional provider, they understood the value of fixed-rate financing, but leadership kept looking for a simpler, more client-friendly approach that lenders could confidently use to win and retain business.
ARC changed the posture of the conversation. Instead of waiting for a borrower to ask about a swap, lenders had a more marketable way to bring fixed-rate options forward earlier. The value was not simply that ARC replaced a technical process. It helped turn hedging into a practical sales tool that could be explained with more confidence and less friction.
The early proof point came quickly. Within weeks of onboarding ARC, the bank closed an approximately $11.4 million 25/10 mixed-use retail and multifamily loan. The transaction supported a large existing relationship and generated a six-figure hedge fee equal to 1.70% of the loan amount.
"Remarkably easier and far more client friendly.”
