​During CommonBond's pre-pandemic rise, the First Factory team ​was brought in to be a key partner in helping them scale their technical platform. Our engagement focused on creating and maintaining ​the application that simplified the research and application process for customers while integrating with numerous third-party technologies to initiate the loan approval process, including funds verification and credit ratings. We ​also collaborated on the​ir marketing website, financing application web pages, and APIs using the latest technologies. The CommonBond online experience help​ed individuals identify the costs of college, evaluate loan options, compare lenders’ interest rates, and set personal goals to determine payment schedules.
