Aug. 30—The citizens of Mentor and surrounding communities have another option when it comes to flexible financial solutions.
Lendmark Financial Services, a provider of household credit and consumer loan solutions, has opened a new branch in Mentor, expanding its presence in the state. The Mentor branch marks Lendmark's 29th location in Ohio, but the first in Lake County.
The branch is located at 9570 Mentor Ave., Suite H.
Lendmark anticipates serving between 500 and 600 customers in the branch in its first year. The company complements its in-person customer service with digital and online offerings.
Branch Manager Christopher Troup was promoted to the position from within the company and will lead the Mentor location.
"With branches throughout Ohio, we will continue to support the residents who need flexible financial service options to manage planned and unplanned life events without depleting their savings," said Bobby Aiken, CEO of Lendmark Financial Services. "Our team will bring our customer-first approach to Mentor, delivering personalized and convenient household credit solutions that meet the respective financial needs of this community's residents."
According to a news release, in addition to serving consumers directly, Lendmark provides financing solutions for more than 11,000 retailers and independent auto dealerships, allowing these businesses' customers to apply for Lendmark financing. Local businesses that are interested in partnering with Lendmark to provide financing solutions for their customers should contact their local branch.
Lendmark Climb to Cure is the company's signature cause-related initiative. Each year, Lendmark employees, their family and friends, and business partners commit to raising money and awareness for pediatric cancer research, and financial support of families with children and teens battling cancer.
In 2021, Lendmark extended C2C participation to its customers, who now have the option of donating $1 when closing their loan, Lendmark matches the donation.
Over the last six years, C2C has raised more than $3.5 million for CURE Childhood Cancer, a nonprofit dedicated to funding targeted pediatric cancer research that is utilized nationwide.
