IDS announced it added four new customer wins during first quarter of 2021. They include two start-up equipment finance operations; Metropolitan Capital, a universal bank expanding into asset-based lending (ABL); and a top five U.S. bank, which implemented IDS | ABL. The company is also on record pace to complete 14 go lives by the end of the first half representing a 40% increase over 2020.

“Our strategic vision is to provide solutions that support the growth aspirations of any size secured finance firm,” stated David Hamilton, IDS CEO. “We are excited to work with some of the most innovative companies in the market, ranging from start-up operations to one of the largest financial firms in the world. Providing best-in-class functionality in an easy-to-use pay-for-what-you-use platform is at the heart of our technology investment. I firmly believe that this value, coupled with our dedication to building long-standing partnerships, is central to our continued success.”
