Highlights of the Talea process flow:

  • The financial professional/admin initiates the loan via TALEA, and the financial professional /admin/client completes questionnaire process.
  • The Bancorp receives, via DocuSign, the loan application/document package from the client with the client signatures.
  • The loan application/document package is the standard TALEA package with the addition of the LPL Loan Request Form (LRF).
  • For each LPL investment account number being pledged, there will be a separate ACA and LPL Loan Request Form.
  • The Bancorp will start the underwriting process, extract each LPL Loan Request Form and email it to LPL (lplfinancial.PremierLOC@lpl.com).
  • LPL confirms the advisor has completed the required SBLOC training, the LPL Supervision team reviews the LPL Loan Request Form.
  • LPL emails The Bancorp when the Supervision team has approved the LPL Loan Request Form.
  • Authorized signers at The Bancorp add their signatures to each ACA, The Bancorp adds the authorized LPL signature and sends via DocuSign the entire loan application/document package to LPL (lplfinancial.PremierLOC@lpl.com).
  • LPL pledges the investment account(s) to The Bancorp and, via DocuSign, acknowledges each ACA and returns the completed loan application/document package to The Bancorp.
  • The Bancorp will receive the investment account in the ‘Collateral’ file the day after the ACA is acknowledged.
  • The Bancorp will complete the underwriting process and book the loan.
  • Your client will then receive two Welcome letters/emails with a password and user ID (separated for security reasons) and detailed instructions for logging into www.premierloc.com.

  • If checks were chosen at the time of application, checks will arrive in the mail within 7-14 business days. Bancorp provides free standard check orders and reorders (single or duplicate checks.) If another style of checks is ordered, Bancorp will provide a $15 courtesy discount.

  • After a loan is established, statements are produced monthly.  Click here to see a sample.
