• Upstart: Upstart is a direct peer in AI-driven personal lending to prime and near-prime consumers, using alternative underwriting data. Comparable in online origination, fixed-rate term loans, and bank-partner funding model.
• Funding Circle: Funding Circle is a direct peer in online small-business term lending, with similar bank-partner funding model and focus on established small businesses. Compares to BHG's business-loan product.

• Lendio: Lendio is an SMB loan marketplace aggregating multiple lenders, comparable to BHG's business-loan product but delivered through a broker model rather than direct origination. Useful as a distribution/competitive benchmark.

Broad incumbents
