As the loan servicing industry continues to consolidate, leaders at Concord and Equiant see this acquisition as the catalyst that will help them drive strategic growth – and serve their customers more efficiently and effectively.
“Equiant’s sophisticated self-service tools, in addition to the company’s robust credit card offering, complement Concord’s strength and expertise in collections and compliance,” said Shaun O’Neill, Concord Servicing Chief Revenue Officer. “As two leading loan servicers, we’re combining our individual strengths to achieve synergies in operations, enhance our products and services, and deliver industry-leading performance for our customers.”
“We are excited to leverage Concord’s strong position and significant investments in their platform to help accelerate our diversification strategy,” said Peter Moody, Chief Business Development Officer at Equiant. “Benefitting from Concord’s competitive success in both shared and new industry verticals, we will accelerate our initiatives in vacation ownership, home improvement, capital markets, health care and the subscription business.”
The companies, effective immediately, will function under one leadership team led by Jason Alexander, Concord CEO. They will also look to fully consolidate US operations under one roof within the next 120 days and will continue to be headquartered in Scottsdale.
