About Us
Who is Suntell?
Our Story
Innovation Born from Experience. Driven by What’s Next.
Suntell was founded in 1996 by commercial lenders who saw firsthand how outdated, manual processes were slowing down lending teams. From duplicative data entry to disconnected systems and endless checklists, managing a loan portfolio was far too complex—and far from strategic.
They knew there had to be a smarter way.
So they built it.
Suntell pioneered the first Loan Management System (LMS) designed to streamline commercial and agricultural lending from start to finish. But we didn’t stop there. We listened to our customers, anticipated the industry’s evolution, and continued to build.
We added tools like:
- Suntell Document Imaging (SDI) to centralize borrower, loan, and deposit documentation,
- AgExam for in-depth agricultural analysis,
- Stress Testing to proactively assess risk, and
- Loan Queue & Dashboards to streamline workflows and boost team performance.
And we didn’t stop there.
These additions—and many more—have evolved into the Square 1 Credit Suite®, an innovative, ever-advancing platform that continues to grow with the needs of our customers and the changing demands of the industry.
Our Mission
Our mission is to empower community lending institutions to build strong, scalable, and compliant commercial and agricultural lending programs—through one powerful, integrated solution.
