  • Steel Partners Holdings L.P (SPLP) Owns WebBank

    WebBank, the bank that lending club uses is a subsidiary of a publicly traded company. Saw this mentioned on another forum:
    Steel Partners Holdings L.P (SPLP) on the NYSE

    Some other lenders that use WebBank:
    • Prosper
    • CAN Capital
    • PayPal Working Capital


    I'm sure there are a lot more.

    Quite a random addition to a company that is described as being in the business of:
    • SIC Code 3390 - Miscellaneous Primary Metal Products
    • Industry Misc. Fabricated Products
    • Sector Basic Materials



    WebBank

    Our Ownership Interest
    SPLP's wholly owned subsidiary, WebFinancial Holding Corporation, conducts financial operations through its wholly-owned subsidiary, WebBank (“WebBank”).

For the years ended December 31, 2013 , 2012 and 2011 the Financial Services segment had revenues of $28,185 , $21,155 and $14,921 , respectively, which comprised 4% , 3% and 2% of SPLP's consolidated revenues, respectively.

    Description of Business

    This stock might be a nice buy now. Once everyone figures out they own WebBank, there might just be a nice little pop in their price, though it looks like some people may have thought about that back in October.

    This is a cool find. I just looked this company up. It looks like a giant conglomerate holding company that it seems very few people are talking about online. Nice and profitable too. $45 million profit in 2013. Last 2 quarters were strong.

    Not a lot of volume on the stock and it seems to be around the all time high already. Might be worth picking up a little now anyway? I'm not a stock expert. I'm staying out of the Lending Club IPO personally but not because I don't like the company.

      just noticed what I pasted. webbanks's revenue only made up 4% of SPLP's consolidated revenue in 2013. that is pretty small, but growing by a percentage year over year for the last couple years. I was hoping it was going to be like 30% or something.

                  stocks? I'm sure there are some publicly traded companies involved in bitcoin development in some way but I don't know any bitcoin-centric public companies. You can follow bitcoin like a stock on stocktwits though: http://stocktwits.com/symbol/BCOIN

                    SPLP has no volume whatsoever. Maybe webbank should be spun off. No one's going to get excited about a diversified metal holdings company.

                        replying to my own thread here. I have kept my eye on this one. Still almost no volume but have noticed since that webbank makes up a substantial amount of their profit. Revenue-wise it is small but profit margin wise, it is massive. This is perhaps a stock to continue checking up on.

                          Hi. Glad I stumbled upon this blog here. Does anyone think that webbank might be spun off from SPLP? Is there a potential opportunity here?

                            It's interesting how many of the new technology lenders rely on this bank. Thanks for sharing this information.

                              Anyone see the q4 report? Webbank is literally carrying this company. Even though it only made up 6% of consolidated revenue it was basically the only profitable business they had. As I understand it, webbank sells the loans it "originates" after a day or two so it has no exposure on them. this is all fee income they earn to rent out their charter.
