Virtual Lending Mini Conference 2020

Tuesday, August 25, 2020

Lending is the backbone of the credit union movement. The recent coronavirus pandemic has only served to highlight the need for effective lending.  Multiple forces beyond the pandemic are at play in the greater Mid-Atlantic marketplace. During the event, speakers from Open Lending, Silverman Theologou LLP, CUMA, PSCU and Symmetry Lending focused on strategic and legal considerations as the environment changes along with how to best position your credit union to mitigate risk while serving members and maintaining a sound balance sheet.

SESSION 3 – Loan Participations

About the Presenters:
Syd Libsack
began his career in the wholesale mortgage origination business and spent many years there. In 2007, he joined Delta Community Credit Union, where he built a secondary loan markets platform. This approach was relatively new for credit unions, and the platform enabled Delta to safely and efficiently grow their loan portfolio for balance sheet optimization. As VP of Commercial & Syndicated Loans, Syd led a team that managed a portfolio comprising multiple loan types within commercial, residential, and consumer asset classes. In 2012 he was recruited by TCF Bank to develop a loan sales capital markets group. Under Syd’s leadership, this group sold several billion dollars in residential mortgages and consumer auto loans.

Chelsea Feliciano oversees Symmetry’s Capital Markets and Master Servicing initiatives. She brings many years of expertise in secondary loan markets and, having spent time on both sides of the loan purchase/sale relationship, Chelsea understands the needs of Symmetry’s partners.

Prior to joining Symmetry, Chelsea was instrumental in building the foundational loan sales platform for TCF Bank. That platform facilitated hundreds of transactions, including whole loan sales, participations, and securitizations, creating dozens of long-term market relationships throughout the U.S.
