Let's get started

First, we navigate into the marketplace and find a listing that we are interested in.

Offering Access Request

Currently, we are just viewers of this offering. We can see the basic data and terms. This data should suffice for us to understand whether we're interested in this offering and looking for additional data.

Until the originating institution approves our access request, the Documents, Institution performance, and Direct chat will be restricted. this is a security measure of the originating bank to control its data and limit access only to approved entities.

To submit an access request, we only need to click on "Request Full Loan Details".

The originating bank will get a notification about our interest in the loan and will have the option to grant us access.
Once access is granted we will also get a notification and be able to access additional data.

Step #4: Scroll down and click on "Request Full Loan Details" — Scroll down and click on "Request Full Loan Details"

Our access request was successfully submitted at this point. now we are pending the originator's action to proceed.

Once the access request is accepted, we will get a message stating we now have access to further explore the offering, we will be granted access to the following features:

Browsing the Documents library
Viewing the originating bank performance
Ask public questions in the Q&A section

Contact the originating bank via direct chat

Participation Request

The second step in the process of participating in a loan is the participation request.
After we decided we wanted to participate in the offering, we will be able to submit a participation request, this request states to the originator that we are interested in proceeding with the transaction.

the originator will evaluate our request and choose whether to continue with the offer.

Step #11: Click on "Submit Participation Request" — Click on "Submit Participation Request"

Step #12: Click on "Submit Participation Request" — Click on "Submit Participation Request"

By submitting a participation request, we are agreeing to the requested terms: participation amount and interest rate.

For further negotiation, you can contact the originating institution via direct chat. the originator has the tool to adjust and change the terms for a specific request.

Agreement

Once the participation request has been approved, we move to the agreement stage. in this stage Capstack offers the originator 2 options,

Fully managed agreement - Managing the agreement signing process for the parties via Docusign.
Manual agreement - Will be managed outside the system and uploaded after all parties have signed for documentation purposes.

In case the originator selected the "Fully managed agreement" option, you'll be required to sign the agreement first in DocuSign.

Step #15: Click on "Review And Sign The Agreement" — Click on "Review And Sign The Agreement"

We utilize Docusign as signing service as its trusted provider in the finance industry, for signing purposes we will be redirected to the Docusign website. after the singing we will return to Capstack automatically.
