The modern private-lending tech stack — what you actually need

If you're a private lender or MIC fund evaluating software, this is the practical guide we wish we'd had. Categories, must-haves, and red flags.

What every private lender needs

Origination workflow. Underwriting tools. Loan management (servicing, escrow, payoffs). Investor portal. Compliance + audit. AML / KYC. Reg-reporting (FSRA AIR, FINTRAC LCTR / STR).

What unifies them

A single chassis. The same record from lead capture to payoff to investor distribution. No re-keying. No reconciliation between systems.

Red flags to watch

  • Vendors that integrate with Filogix as "export only" — that's not integration.
  • Servicing math without golden-test verification.
  • "AI" that's actually rules-based conditional logic.
  • No SOC 2 Type II report on file.
  • No per-tenant compliance posture dashboard for multi-brokerage networks.
  • Investor portal as a separate product.

What to do next

Run a real dry-run migration with your real data before committing to anything. The vendors that can show every record that would change before commit are the ones to take seriously.
