1 00:00:00.620 --> 00:00:03.360 Welcome to the 2026 Broker Fair in New York City. 2 00:00:03.440 --> 00:00:07.100 I'm now joined with Benjamin Kalendarov of Specialty Capital. 3 00:00:07.200 --> 00:00:07.880 How's it going? 4 00:00:08.120 --> 00:00:08.620 Amazing. 5 00:00:09.880 --> 00:00:13.040 Beautiful views, beautiful people. It's a great time. 6 00:00:13.560 --> 00:00:15.840 How are things staying special at Specialty Capital? 7 00:00:17.340 --> 00:00:21.270 Very good. Thank you for asking. We actually just released an app on 8 00:00:21.280 --> 00:00:24.580 the App Store. Check it out at Specialty Capital. 9 00:00:25.420 --> 00:00:27.480 What makes your app so special? Tell me more about it. 10 00:00:27.940 --> 00:00:31.800 So we wanted to create an easier user interface for our clients. 11 00:00:32.460 --> 00:00:35.940 It's also easier to kind of sell a deal when you can tell your client, "Hey, 12 00:00:36.500 --> 00:00:40.260 this funder has an app on the App Store." So, it's 13 00:00:40.300 --> 00:00:44.200 very helpful. So if the merchant wants to see their balance, they can 14 00:00:44.240 --> 00:00:47.940 go ahead and click on the app. If they want to request more funds, they can go 15 00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:51.320 ahead and click on the app and it's just very nice. 16 00:00:51.360 --> 00:00:53.690 We're not seeing so many funders doing that kind of thing. 17 00:00:54.480 --> 00:00:58.290 Yeah, that's definitely very unique and keeping up with all the new technology 18 00:00:58.360 --> 00:00:59.720 trends that are going on. 19 00:00:59.760 --> 00:01:00.660 Yeah, absolutely. 20 00:01:01.800 --> 00:01:05.280 Very nice. I feel very proud of our company for doing such a thing. 21 00:01:05.860 --> 00:01:07.960 So was that a new thing for 2026? 22 00:01:08.500 --> 00:01:11.920 Yes, it was recently released. Some other updates are, 23 00:01:12.540 --> 00:01:16.120 we actually just released a line of credit product, so it's very 24 00:01:16.200 --> 00:01:19.260 helpful when the client wants to pull more funds from their balance. 25 00:01:19.660 --> 00:01:21.940 They just click on the app and request more funds. 26 00:01:23.800 --> 00:01:24.050 Another 27 00:01:25.180 --> 00:01:27.600 update that we have is that we're actually funding in Canada now. 28 00:01:27.980 --> 00:01:29.460 Oh, nice.
