National Funding announced a three-year extension of its implementation of Salesforce, the Customer Success Platform and world's #1 CRM company. Since 2010, Salesforce Sales Cloud has been a key driver in National Funding's rapid growth, helping the company achieve its position as one of the nation's top 10 small business alternative lenders, according to deBanked Magazine.

National Funding invests in technology that is nimble, flexible and scalable in order to respond to constantly changing customer needs and financial markets. The company first deployed Salesforce in 2010 and it quickly became a critical component of its technology. In 2016, National Funding signed a three-year extension to its rollout.

"The platform helps us seamlessly shift customers between digital and person-to-person interactions and deliver speed, simplicity and trust in our customer experience."
