Quick read on the California disclosure amendments: estimated APR must now appear on the first page of the offer summary, and brokers are explicitly in scope for the recordkeeping requirement. Effective Jan 1. Happy to answer questions here.

For the folks asking: Greenline's minimum is now 6 months TIB with $30K monthly deposits, and we're back to funding 2nd position on restaurants. Submission portal is linked on our profile.
DMDW12 repliesFunder approved at 1.29, then retraded to 1.38 after I told the merchant. Third time this month from the same shop. How are you all handling retrades?
MJDMJD19 repliesUnpopular opinion from the funder side: the stacking problem is a broker comp problem. If renewals paid like new deals, half of this goes away. We're piloting 1.5x renewal points starting next month.

Sounds good, too.
A handful of soft, synthesized cues make the app feel physical: a press, a toggle, a claimed deal, the moment you arrive. Tap one.
Sounds are optional and quiet by design. They follow your settings, respect your device's silent mode, and turn off with one switch.
