The Power of Collaboration®
CBS delivers premier commercial lending services and cutting-edge software solutions to financial institutions. Partnered with nearly 140 credit unions in 16 states, our dedicated professionals provide financing expertise on all property types nationwide.
Cooperative Business Services
CBS is not your average commercial lending institution. Providing commercial loans to businesses through a credit union cooperative was a relatively new concept when CBS opened its doors in 2003.

CBS has a variety of products and services to meet your needs. Whether you are a novice or an experienced commercial lender, CBS offers the ability to enhance and create efficiencies and revenue opportunities.
Our Shared Business Development Officer (SBDO) programs allow you to partner with an experienced commercial lender in your market(s) and provides opportunities for loan participations.
ExRA is a cloud-based platform that provides real-time reporting for your institution's commercial lending portfolio.
Creditable is a customizable, web-based small business and commercial lending software solution that allows you to efficiently and strategically develop and manage your loan pipeline.
While your company did offer the best financial package, we may have chosen you just because of the level of service that was provided. Having the loan completed in a low stress, helpful manner makes me a strong supporter of CBS and of course John Skeldon. I will be more than happy to talk to anyone trying to decide about a lender since I would like others to have as good of an experience as I did, and a chance to achieve their dreams.

Day Air Credit Union
Our members and the communities we serve have benefited greatly from our partnership with Cooperative Business Services. Their expertise has helped us do more for them, more quickly, than we could possibly have done by going it alone.
Especially valuable has been our participation in a Shared Business Development model in partnership with other area credit unions. By combining our resources in this way, we've been able to make businesses (and the competition) take notice of what we can do."

April 25th was “take your kid to work day”, an opportunity intended to give children a glimpse into the working world through the guidance of their parents. In this case, CBS was thrilled to host one of our employee’s granddaughters for the day! Her day consisted of filing, scanning, organizing, and copying paperwork, as well as preparing packages for shipping. It was a pleasure having her in the office for the day!
