From a Single Lender to a Nationwide Network
Collateral Services Inc. was founded in 1998 as a specialized consulting firm supporting LaSalle Bank’s asset-based lending group. What started as a response to stacks of unstructured borrower data and outdated manual processes has evolved into a national provider of customized collateral reporting.
Today, CSI empowers lenders, borrowers and auditors with faster, smarter access to financial data. By combining analytical expertise with attentive, high-level customer service, we’ve carved out a unique niche in the lending space—one focused on reducing risk, saving time and delivering clarity.
Team Expertise
Our team is made up of seasoned financial analysts, data translators and client support specialists who know asset-based lending inside and out. Many have worked directly in banking, audit and various other roles, so we understand the pressure, the deadlines and the stakes.
