Re:Emergency credit line for SVB customers by toomuchtodo on Friday March 10, 2023 @07:21PM (#35103372)
It's a gamble not only on what's recoverable but also future lifetime value of newly acquired customers from this effort (remember, there are a bunch of ventures looking for a new bank now that their banking provider is gone). Public service meets rapidly evolving growth marketing campaign. Can't fault Brex, there is no downside to anyone except them (correction: it appears a third party is taking the credit risk per gpm, even better for Brex as they're simply facilitating the lending ops and aren't exposing themselves to the credit risk). Kudos.

Not actually clear who is taking the downside

> This credit line is funded by 3rd-party capital (and not Brex directly)
