This project will implement Supernova’s Securities-Backed Lending (SBL) platform and integrate it with existing lending, brokerage, and trust systems. The initiative will automate business rules, including underwriting and credit decisioning, define and apply system configurations, support organizational change management, and roll out the new offering. It will also replace the existing FastNet/Broadridge collateral-monitoring system.
