Partnership Paths

Four ways to participate in C‑PACE.

Senior Lender Partner

Serve as senior lender on C-PACE opportunities you identify or those we bring to you. Opportunity to hold C-PACE loan proceeds on deposit.

Benefits

Why lenders partner with FASTPACE.

C-PACE represents a low-risk, income-generating opportunity for financial institutions of all sizes. FASTPACE provides the infrastructure so you can participate in multiple ways without building a C-PACE department.

Earn Fees, No Cost to Participate

Referral fees or origination income depending on your partnership path. No new staff, technology, or infrastructure required.

Opportunity to Hold Deposits

Senior lender partners can hold C-PACE loan proceeds on deposit during the construction and disbursement period, growing deposits under management with no additional acquisition cost.

Low Credit Risk

C-PACE is secured by a voluntary property assessment, not a personal guarantee. Repayment is collected through the property tax system or via direct billing, depending on the program. C-PACE does not accelerate.

Access Across All Active Markets

FASTPACE operates the infrastructure across all active C-PACE jurisdictions. Some markets do require independent capital provider registration. FASTPACE guides you through the process.

Bank Examiner Support

C-PACE is a relatively new asset class for many bank examiners. FASTPACE provides documentation, guidance, and direct support to help your institution navigate the examination process with confidence.

Portfolio Diversification

Add a new asset class with attractive risk-adjusted returns, strong collateral, and a growing market. C-PACE loans are fully amortizing with no balloon payments and terms matched to the useful life of the improvement.

CRA Credit Eligibility

Many C-PACE loans may qualify for Community Reinvestment Act credit, particularly those in low-to-moderate income communities or supporting affordable multifamily and mixed-use properties. FASTPACE can help identify CRA-eligible opportunities in your assessment area.

Master Servicing, Secondary Market Access

FASTPACE serves as portfolio manager and master servicer on all C-PACE loans originated through the platform, handling billing, collections, reporting, and tax authority coordination. Secondary market access is available when you're ready to manage concentration or free up capital.
