BHG Financial to Showcase Company Growth & Complete Product Ecosystem at LendIt Fintech 2022

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., May 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Over the past 20 years, BHG Financial has grown exponentially, expanding from a working capital provider for healthcare professionals to a fully diversified fintech. BHG Financial now offers a complete product ecosystem that includes unsecured consumer loans, point-of-sale financing, lending-as-a-service solutions, regulatory consulting, SBA 7(a) services, consumer and business credit cards, venture capital, and more. These additions to the core business were significant factors in the company's rebrand from Bankers Healthcare Group to BHG Financial in late 2021, as well as the rebrand of its lending division, which will now deliver financial solutions as BHG Money. 

BHG expanded into these products by focusing on its three foundational anchors: an impressive and proven acquisition engine, differentiated analytics and technology, and an unparalleled funding and distribution marketplace.

You can expect to see many of these new products, brands, and features highlighted at the LendIt Fintech 2022 conference during a fireside chat featuring Al Crawford, Chairman, Co-Founder, and CEO and Tyler Crawford, COO of BHG Financial. The panel will be hosted by the Co-Founder of LendIt, Peter Renton.  

"Embrace the Evolution: from Start-up to Diversified Fintech" will explore BHG Financial's transformation. The panel will cover how BHG, driven by world-class data and analytics, was able to evolve from a single product provider to a full suite of financial solutions to meet the needs of professionals and consumers nationwide—effectively turning a $25,000 investment into $3 billion in assets and $400 million in equity.

"We are proud to have reached a state in our company where we have the ability to step back and showcase the depth of all that BHG Financial offers," said Al Crawford, Chairman, Co-Founder, and CEO. "We started BHG over two decades ago to meet the needs of healthcare professionals, and through a dedication to technology, innovation, and partnerships, we have now expanded our services, business lines, and products to reach an entirely new level of consumers and partners."
