Verdant Commercial Capital closed a milestone year in 2025, surpassing $1 billion in annual originations for the first time and completing its acquisition by Axos Bank in late September.
Verdant generated $1.07 billion in funding volume in 2025, representing 40% year-over-year growth following 37% growth in 2024. Verdant’s managed portfolio grew by 41% to $1.7 billion.
“These milestones reflect the strength and talent of our team and the trust we’ve built with our partners over the years,” Mike Rooney, CEO of Verdant Commercial Capital, said.
Since its founding in 2017, Verdant has originated more than $4 billion in total financing.
“Our innovative business model, strong employee culture and commitment to attracting top industry talent have made Verdant a go-to financing partner for vendors seeking simple, effective solutions for their customers,” Rooney said. “Meaningful relationships and smart solutions drive our success.”
Verdant’s record performance in 2025 concluded with its acquisition by Axos Bank, bringing the independent equipment finance firm into a nationwide banking platform. The combination unites Verdant’s equipment financing expertise with Axos’ digital-first banking model.
“Axos Bank is an innovative bank focused on multiple business segments, each creating value-driven solutions for their customers,” Rooney said. “Their commitment to technology, efficiency and customer service makes them a strong partner for Verdant. We’re excited to see how we can continue to accelerate our growth with the support of Axos Bank.”
