About PlannedLender™

A Different Way to Think About Lending.

PlannedLender™ was created around one simple idea: affordability should matter more than a credit score.

Who We Are

PlannedLender™ is a ReCapture Financial company.

PlannedLender™ is owned and operated by ReCapture Financial and is powered by MiddleBanking™ 1.0, ReCapture Financial’s automated household bill-pay and controlled-spending system.

ReCapture Financial is a MiddleBanking provider, not a bank. MiddleBanking™ 1.0 helps participating households organize income, recurring expenses, bill due dates and household spending into a structured financial plan.

What is a MiddleBanker?

A MiddleBanker operates between the household and the companies the household regularly pays. Instead of simply helping people create a budget, MiddleBanking™ organizes and manages the actual flow of household expenses through an automated bill-pay system.

That controlled financial environment gives ReCapture Financial a different way to evaluate household affordability and create financial benefits for participating clients.

How Planned Loans™ Work

Planned Loans are created inside the MiddleBanking relationship.

Planned Loans™ are provided internally by ReCapture Financial to participating MiddleBanking™ 1.0 clients. Instead of determining Planned Loan amounts primarily from a credit score, ReCapture Financial considers the household’s budget, recurring expenses, income profile and controlled spending through MiddleBanking™ 1.0.

A portion of the residual income generated through ReCapture Financial’s MiddleBanking™ 1.0 automated bill-pay system is used to support Planned Loans for participating households.

In simple terms: households use MiddleBanking™ to manage and pay their bills, ReCapture Financial generates residual income from that activity, and a portion of that value can be internally deployed back to MiddleBanking clients through Planned Loans™.

Why PlannedLender Exists

Lending based on what a household can afford and control.

Traditional lending often begins by looking backward at a credit history. PlannedLender™ begins by looking forward at the household’s financial plan.

Household Budget

We look at what the household actually earns, spends and manages.

Controlled Spending

Household expenses are organized through MiddleBanking™ 1.0.

Planned Timing

Planned Loans are arranged before the household actually needs the money.

Affordability First

The household’s ability to manage its financial plan matters more than a score alone.
