Sundance Growth has announced a strategic growth investment in TurnKey Lender, a leader in AI-based lending automation. Headquartered in Austin, Texas, TurnKey Lender has carved out a unique position in the market by offering a unified, cloud-based platform that simplifies and streamlines the entire lending lifecycle—from origination and underwriting to compliance, servicing, and collections.
This investment marks a significant milestone for TurnKey Lender, which has been steadily gaining traction among banks, credit unions, fintechs, and enterprise brands looking to modernize their lending infrastructure. With its no-code and low-code SaaS architecture, the company enables financial institutions to deploy intelligent lending solutions quickly and efficiently, eliminating the need for extensive IT resources and lengthy implementation cycles. The result is a more agile, responsive lending environment that meets the expectations of today’s digitally savvy borrowers.
TurnKey Lender’s platform is designed to be more than just a tool—it’s a comprehensive ecosystem that brings together all the critical components of lending operations into a single, integrated solution. By automating traditionally manual processes and integrating AI into decision-making workflows, the company enables lenders to reduce operational complexity, enhance risk management, and deliver personalized borrower experiences at scale.
One of the most exciting aspects of this next phase is the company’s focus on generative AI. TurnKey Lender plans to double down on GenAI innovation, building tools that can further automate underwriting, enhance fraud detection, and personalize borrower interactions in real time. As financial institutions face increasing pressure to deliver faster, smarter, and more inclusive lending experiences, GenAI offers a powerful lever for differentiation and growth.
As embedded finance continues to reshape how credit is delivered and consumed, TurnKey Lender is well-positioned to be a foundational technology partner for institutions navigating this shift. The company’s ability to combine deep domain expertise with cutting-edge AI capabilities makes it a standout in a crowded field—and with Sundance Growth’s support, its trajectory is set to accelerate.
How the funding will be used: With the backing of Sundance Growth, TurnKey Lender is poised to accelerate its expansion in key verticals, particularly banking and embedded lending. The fresh capital will be used to scale product development, enhance go-to-market strategies, and grow the company’s sales and customer success teams. This investment also supports TurnKey Lender’s commitment to deepening its integrations across global financial infrastructure, ensuring that its platform remains interoperable, secure, and future-ready.
