Secure Collateral Management , Accepted by Joseph Farley, Chief Operating Officer
One example of Secure Collateral Managements outstanding customer service was when they faced a tremendous challenge coming out of the pandemic as over 20% of their agent network shuddered their doors forever, and the remaining 80% drastically reduced operating capacity. The team didn’t panic, but rather doubled down on their existing relationships and added key new ones. As a result, their coverage area was minimally reduced for Capital One and they achieved the highest performance out of Capital One’s five repo forwarders in 2022. This is attributed to the people first, diverse, and inclusive culture of our award winner.
