Re: Fintech concerns
Oh, of course, sorry. Vast bulk of my experience is at bank/manager/client level not retail. "Origination" is normally used in the industry to mean putting together (slowly, by protracted negotiation) deals which are custom, structured (and typically complex), or/and large (e.g. US$100m+).
But yes I suppose, technically you could apply the term to banging out insta-cash ST microloans. Technically. I guess.
