Marlin Business Services and Union Bank said they have formed a strategic alliance to provide financing solutions for Union Bank’s customers throughout the U.S.

The new alliance helps Union Bank offer enhanced service to its business customers looking to finance their investment in equipment. Marlin’s breadth of experience across a full range of equipment categories will benefit Union Bank’s large customer base, providing them with a cost-effective option to acquire equipment and technology.

“We are excited that Marlin’s Bank Outsourcing Team is working with Union Bank to enable them to offer their customers flexible financing plans, competitive terms and the highest quality customer service,” said Dan Dyer, Marlin’s chief executive officer. “Our strategic alliance will provide Union Bank customers with direct access to our turnkey equipment financing solutions.”

“We look forward to a successful relationship with Marlin Business Services Corp.,” said Union Bank executive vice president Todd Hollander, head of Business Banking. “Partnering with Marlin gives our customers greater access to exceptional equipment finance expertise with a streamlined structure on both ends as our customers will initiate the process through their existing Commercial Banking relationship.”
