NEW YORK, December 28, 2017 — OnDeck® (NYSE: ONDK), the leader in online lending for small business, announced today that a fund managed by an investment advisor subsidiary of BlackRock has joined OnDeck’s platform of financing partners as another committed source of capital to fund small business loan growth.

On December 15, 2017, OnDeck introduced the BlackRock-managed fund as the Class B lender under OnDeck’s existing asset-backed, revolving credit facility with SunTrust Bank. As a result, OnDeck increased the facility’s borrowing capacity to approximately $120 million. SunTrust Bank, the Class A lender under the facility, will act as the administrative agent for both the Class A and Class B lenders.
