Hi! Thanks for reaching out to Main Bank. I'm Marcus, a commercial lender here. What are you looking to finance?
Looking at buying the building my business leases — around $1.2M.
Owner-occupied CRE is right in our wheelhouse. Do you have the lease and last two years of returns handy?
Yep — can send tonight. How fast can we move?

Texas community banks have no online loan application at all — and most of the rest are clunky or hard to finish.

community banks today offer direct messaging with a real lender on their website.

Your branch advantage

Your branch built this bank. Convey carries it online.

You've invested years — and real money — in the branch and the people in it. That investment is your edge: a lender at the desk who knows the town, answers the real question, and turns it into a closed loan. Every loan in your portfolio traces back to that handshake.

Today, more of those conversations begin online — and that's the one place a real lender hasn't been able to sit. Not because the branch stopped mattering. Because nothing has carried it there yet.

Convey carries it there. Your lender, back in the room — same banker, same judgment, same handshake — now meeting the borrower the moment they're ready, wherever they start. The branch you built, working online too.

How is Convey different?

Not a chatbot. Not an LOS. Not a digital banking suite.

Banks already have technology. Convey isn't trying to replace any of it. It fills the gap between your website and your existing systems — the gap where the missing branch visit used to live.

Convey

The conversation in front of the application.

A real lender on the other side of every online inquiry. White-labeled to your bank. Slots between your website and your LOS in 3–4 weeks.

  • Real human, not AI
  • 3–4 weeks to deploy
  • Bank keeps everything
Chatbot

vs. AI chatbots (Gila, etc.)

Different audience, different goal. Chatbots serve existing customers checking balances. Convey serves prospects deciding whether to apply.

Coexists. The bank's chatbot can sit on the same site. Different jobs. No competition.

LOS replacement

vs. Blend, MeridianLink, nCino

Those are application engines. Convey isn't an application engine — it's the conversation that wraps around one. It never replaces your LOS.

12–24 months and $$$ vs. 3–4 weeks. Different problem, different job.

Digital banking suite

vs. Q2, Banno

Those serve existing customers — checking, transfers, bill pay. Convey serves the loan-shopping prospect before they're a customer.

Different audience, different stage. Most banks need both.

And vs. doing nothing?

The borrower already moved online. Doing nothing means losing the next ten years of community-bank borrowers to bigger banks and fintechs that know how to capture a click. The 267-of-360 stat above is the cost of waiting.

Built for your team

Every seat at the table sees what they need.

Convey was built by community bankers, for community bankers. The five questions that get asked in every deal — answered up front.

CEO

How do we lead our market for the next ten years?

The relationship advantage that built the bank carries online. A lender greets every inquiry, and the trust that earned the loan in the lobby earns it on the website too.

Chief Lending Officer

Will my lenders use this?

One inbox. An "awaiting your reply" SLA. A complete paper trail by default. More inbound leads reach a real lender — and more of them turn into closed loans, without adding hours.

CFO

Does this pencil out for the board?

A single community-bank CRE relationship runs $500K+ in loan size. It takes only a handful of added closed loans for Convey to return many times its cost — before the deposits, fees, and cross-sell that follow the relationship. Easy to defend at loan committee.

CIO / CTO

What's the risk to the stack?

Three to four weeks to deploy. One button on your website. No integration to your LOS or Core. No migration. No ongoing engineering burden.

Compliance Officer

Does this create regulatory exposure?

Documented communication layer, not an underwriting engine. Audit trail by default. Standard third-party risk classification. Bank retains all data rights.

Compliance

Convey does the conversation. Your bank does the lending.

Convey is built around what regulators and examiners care about most: clear lines of responsibility, complete audit trails, and bank-owned data.

Convey doesn't underwrite

Your lenders make every credit decision. Convey is the communication layer in front of the application — never the application engine, never the underwriter.

Encryption everywhere

TLS 1.2+ in transit. AES-256 at rest. Documents and PII encrypted with managed keys. Bank-grade by design.

Built to SOC 2 controls

All communication and PII is encrypted in transit and at rest, on infrastructure built and maintained to SOC 2 controls.

Audit trail by default

Every consent, every message, every document, every system event — timestamped and immutable. Pull a per-bank audit log on examiner request.

Bank owns the data

The bank is the data controller. Convey is the service provider, processing on the bank's behalf only. Master Services Agreement and Data Processing Addendum govern the relationship.

Four generations of Texas banking

Built by the fourth generation of a Texas banking family.

The third generation
A GENERATIONAL TRANSITION

Joined and led the family business through a generational transition, keeping it rooted in Texas community banking.

FOUNDER, LENNI · TODAY

Fourth-generation operator. Sits on the lending committee and leads program development in the family's private lending and credit-insurance business — and founded Lenni to build Convey.

Built from the operator's seat.

I grew up the fourth generation of a Texas banking family, and today I work in our private lending and credit-insurance business — I sit on the lending committee, lead program development with our chief lending officer, and serve as loan officer for select clients. From that seat, the same gap kept showing up across community banks — borrowers slipping away at the click, with no real lender to keep them. AI didn't create that gap; it sharpened it.

"I've spent my career on the lending side of the table — private lending and credit insurance, alongside community banks. The ones that win keep a real lender in front of the borrower. Convey is how they keep that lender there when the conversation moves online."

Banker by lineage. Operator by trade.

Frequently asked

The questions every bank exec asks.

Drawn from the actual conversations Convey has had with Texas community bank executives. If yours isn't here, ask Doak directly.

How long does it take to deploy?

Three to four weeks from signature to live. That covers white-label branding, your Convey subdomain, SMS number registration with carriers (10DLC), setting up your lenders, and a training session.

Will it work with our LOS and our Core?

Convey doesn't integrate with your LOS or Core in the initial deployment — it sits in front of them. Once an application is complete, your lender can export a borrower-friendly PDF of the conversation and documents. Direct integration with major LOS vendors is planned for the future.

What does it cost?

Convey is a monthly subscription priced by the number of lender users, with a three-user minimum. No long-term contract — cancel anytime with 30 days' notice. A one-time implementation fee covers setup, 10DLC registration, onboarding, and training.

We'll walk you through pricing for your bank on the demo, and annual pre-pay discounts are available.

What about compliance and security?

Convey is built to financial-industry compliance standards: all communication and PII is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.2+) and at rest (AES-256), with role-based access control and immutable audit logs, on infrastructure built and maintained to SOC 2 controls. We operate as a service provider under the FTC Safeguards Rule and GLBA. The Master Services Agreement and Data Processing Addendum spell out exactly what we commit to — including breach notification within 72 hours. A complete due diligence package is available on request.

Does the bank own the customer data?

Yes. The bank is the data controller. Convey processes data on the bank's behalf as a service provider. The bank's terms of service and privacy policy govern the borrower relationship. On termination, all data is returned to the bank in a structured export or deleted, at the bank's election. Backup data clears within 90 days.

Who else is using this?

We're rolling out with our first group of partner banks in Texas now. That's part of why this offer matters — first movers get a voice in shaping the product and the best pricing. The roadmap is informed by community bankers.

What if it doesn't work out?

You can cancel anytime with 30 days' notice — no exit fees, no penalty. We're not interested in locking anyone into something they don't want. We'd rather earn your business every month: once your borrowers start messaging your team instead of disappearing into a contact-form void, our bet is you won't want to go back.
