Third Party Lender

Third Party Lender: Unlocking Opportunities in the Texas Market

With a population now exceeding 30 million, Texas stands as one of the strongest markets for operators in the payday loan and auto title loan industries. A key driver of this market’s success is the state’s unique licensing structure, referred to as the “CSO Model” (Credit Services Organization) or “CAB Model” (Credit Access Business). You can learn more about these models on our website’s “CSO” and “CAB” pages.


Understanding the Role of Third Party Lenders

The CSO and CAB models require that these businesses operate alongside Third Party Lenders, who provide the funds for loans issued to consumers. This structure requires an arm’s-length relationship between the CAB/CSO and the lender, even if the CAB/CSO has the assets to fund loans directly.

Here’s how the arrangement works:

  1. CSO/CAB as a Broker:
    • Markets its services to consumers.
    • Administers the loan process, acting much like a co-signer.
    • Assists consumers in securing loans from a Third Party Lender.
  2. Third Party Lender’s Role:
    • Provides the funds for the loans.
    • Operates securely in the background with minimal customer interaction.
    • Often secures their position through guarantees or collateral provided by the CSO/CAB.

This model allows CSOs and CABs to participate in the dynamic Texas lending market while maintaining compliance with state regulations.
