Frequently Asked Questions
What’s included in AVANA CUSO Loan Servicing?
Loan Servicing can include loan servicing support, loan reviews, portfolio servicing, and access to the Reporting Portal. The exact responsibilities, cadence, and outputs are defined during scoping so your team has clear handoffs and oversight.
Do you service only AVANA CUSO-sourced loans, or can you support our existing portfolio?
The current page states servicing support may apply whether loans are sourced directly through your credit union or facilitated by AVANA CUSO. In practice, eligibility and scope depend on portfolio characteristics, data availability, and agreed responsibilities.
How does Loan Servicing differ from Portfolio Management?
Loan Servicing focuses on operational execution and ongoing administration across the life of the loan, along with loan reviews and reporting visibility. Portfolio Management is typically positioned for higher-level portfolio review and oversight activities. If you want both, we recommend defining handoffs so servicing execution and portfolio oversight remain distinct.
What is the Reporting Portal and who should use it?
Our Reporting Portal is designed to provide access to key reports and portfolio views, with features such as user management and export options. It’s typically used by lending leadership, servicing/ops leaders, and oversight stakeholders who need consistent visibility. Views and access roles vary based on configuration and service scope.
