Agents and Brokers Reclaim Lost Deals: Credit-Challenged Clients Get Approved in 2025
TORONTO — For real estate agents, mortgage brokers, and vehicle finance professionals, nothing is more frustrating than watching a promising deal fall apart due to a client's poor credit.
But now, many professionals across North America are partnering with GTFS to turn rejected leads into funded and approved clients, thanks to the firm's cutting-edge Credit Optimization Partnership Program (COPP).
GTFS is helping brokers and agents bridge the gap between aspiration and approval by offering strategic tools, coaching, and client-centred services designed to restore credit, build trust, and close transactions.
The Credit Challenge Brokers Know All Too Well
In today's high-interest lending environment, clients with scores below 660 often find themselves sidelined, despite substantial income or assets. Even minor credit blemishes can derail home purchases, auto financing, or commercial leases.
'Agents and brokers come to us daily saying, 'This client was ready—except for their credit score,'' said Robert Wilson, Head of Sales and Marketing. 'That's where we step in to help both the client and the professional.'
What GTFS Offers to Brokers and Agents
The GTFS Credit Optimization Partnership Program (COPP) includes a range of tools designed to help professionals retain leads and increase approvals: White-label onboarding portals that brokers can offer to clients as part of their service
portals that brokers can offer to clients as part of their service Branded credit progress dashboards with real-time updates
with real-time updates Custom letters of explanation and financial rationale documents for underwriting reviews
and financial rationale documents for underwriting reviews Client education and coaching services tailored to homebuying, auto, or business lending goals
and coaching services tailored to homebuying, auto, or business lending goals Direct access to GTFS credit advisors for professional guidance and client-specific planning
'We're not just providing credit repair,' explained Emily Johnson, Senior Credit Analyst. 'We're giving brokers and agents a way to say, 'Not today, but maybe in 90 days—with a plan.' That's powerful.'
Real Results, Real Closings
✅ Case Study – Los Angeles : A mortgage broker submitted a couple with a 585 and 612 score for a $400,000 home. GTFS enrolled them in a 100-day improvement plan. Their scores were 678 and 693 in three months—just enough to secure preapproval. The deal closed two weeks later.
✅ Case Study – Toronto : A vehicle financing specialist referred a self-employed Uber driver who was denied a loan due to inconsistent income and a 609 score. GTFS guided the client in adding a tradeline, restructuring debt, and submitting a letter of explanation. The dealer issued financing 45 days later at a fair interest rate.
Compliance, Transparency, and Speed
Unlike credit 'fixers' that promise overnight results or operate in regulatory grey zones, GTFS follows a fully compliant and transparent model. Each referral is documented, each result is measurable, and each plan is built within the legal frameworks of Canadian and U.S. credit reporting systems.
All broker-partner activity is protected by: Non-circumvention agreements
Agent-broker referral codes
Data privacy compliance (PIPEDA and FCRA)
Zero cross-sell guarantees (GTFS never markets competing products to your clients)
'We respect the broker-client relationship,' said Willard Dunne, Head of Operations. 'Our role is to support that relationship, not compete with it.'
Built for Real Estate, Auto, Business, and More
GTFS's platform is customizable for industry-specific needs. Whether you're a mortgage agent, car dealership finance manager, business credit consultant, or rent-to-own housing specialist, the tools and support adapt to your vertical.
COPP Customization Options: Real estate agents can set milestone timelines synced with financing deadlines
Auto lenders can pre-screen financing partners with score forecasts
Business credit advisors can bundle COPP with entity structuring and funding prep
Commercial leasing agents can offer repair timelines aligned to lease start dates
Tech-Driven, Human-Centred
The GTFS system is built on a secure digital platform but delivered with human connection. Each client is assigned a dedicated credit advisor, and each agent or broker receives personal support from a GTFS partner manager.
'Automation is great,' said David Clark, IT Director, 'but credit recovery is personal. That's why our platform tracks progress—but our people make it work.'
From Lead Recovery to Long-Term Loyalty
When a broker tells a client, 'Let's fix this and come back stronger,' it builds loyalty that lasts. GTFS partners report up to 40% lead recovery, and higher client retention compared to brokers who simply walk away from bad-credit prospects.
✅ Broker Testimonial – Florida : 'Before GTFS, I was throwing away 1 in 5 leads. Now I send them to GTFS, and half of them come back ready to close. My pipeline is healthier than ever.' – J. Nelson, Licensed Mortgage Broker

Lime renews vows with Uber ahead of busy summer season
Lime, the shared scooter and bike company, is getting ready for another busy summer by cozying up to one of its biggest supporters, Uber. The two companies recently signed a new multiyear agreement that allows Uber to continue to feature Lime's shared bikes and scooters on its ridehail app. As part of the deal, Lime's rented bikes and scooters will continue to appear in Uber's app in the markets in which they overlap, including the US, Canada, Europe, Australia and New Zealand. The previous agreement was set to expire later this year. 'We're pleased to extend this fruitful relationship into the future so riders can discover and quickly book Lime on the Uber platform,' said Wayne Ting, CEO of Lime, in a statement. 'Working with Uber has allowed us to reach even more people and provide more riders with shared, affordable, emissions-free transportation through one of the largest transportation platforms in the world. This deal further solidifies Lime as the go-to option for two-wheeled travel in cities.' Uber also recently announced that Lime would be included as part of its Uber One subscription members, offering 10 percent cash back on all Lime rides. Uber and Lime first came together during the height of the scooter boom in 2018, with the ridehail giant joining a $335 million round of financing led by Alphabet's venture arm, GV. That was the first time Lime's bikes and scooters became available for rent on Uber's app. During the covid pandemic, Uber threw a crucial lifeline to Lime, investing $170 million in the company in exchange for Lime acquiring Uber's Jump bike and scooter business. Today, Uber holds a 29 percent stake in Lime. And as the pandemic progressed, the deal positioned Lime to pull ahead of many of its struggling rivals. As other companies floundered, Lime scootered past all the mergers and bankruptcies, and now presents itself as the leading shared micromobility company in the world. Earlier this year, the company published its 2024 financial results, in which it touted a fourth consecutive year of over 30 percent growth, second consecutive year of positive free cash flow, and $810 million in gross bookings. And as the summer busy season approaches, Lime is setting its sight on new markets. The company recently launched in Barcelona, and later this year plans on expanding into Mexico. Its also continuing to scale its latest vehicles, the LimeBike and pedal-less LimeGlider, with launches in nearly a dozen cities over the past two months. Of the two new bikes, Lime says it plans to reach a fleet of more than 15,000 deployed vehicles globally in 2025. (The Glider is only available in North America, as the EU requires that throttle-only e-bikes be classified as mopeds.) Lime's bullishness on its business comes as the company recently hit a new record for daily ridership, surpassing 1 million rides in a single day on May 31st — and then again on June 1st. Lime says riders also recently exceeded 10 billion minutes using the platform, across more than 800 million individual trips since Lime's service began in 2017. Lime's decision to continue partnering with Uber comes as the ridehail company's main rival, Lyft, hikes the prices of its main bikeshare service, Citi Bike in New York. Lyft had been exploring a possible sale of Citi Bike, but now says it plans on expanding the service in the outer boroughs later this year. Uber says its deal with Lime helps get it closer to its goal to be a zero-emission platform by 2040. 'Lime has been an impactful partner in our efforts to make transportation easier, more affordable, and more sustainable,' Dara Khosrowshahi, CEO of Uber, said in a statement. With widespread global use through Uber in over 200 cities, this next chapter is about scaling up together—and giving riders even more ways to get where they're going without owning a car.'

Nikesh Arora Joins Uber Board Amid Executive Reshuffle
"I'm honoured to join Uber's Board at such an exciting time, as the company plays a central role in commercialising autonomous mobility globally. Uber has already transformed how people and goods move through cities, and I look forward to supporting the company's continued growth," says Nikesh Arora, Chairman and CEO of Palo Alto Networks You're reading Entrepreneur India, an international franchise of Entrepreneur Media. Uber Technologies has announced that Nikesh Arora, Chairman and CEO of Palo Alto Networks, is joining its board of directors. The appointment was disclosed in a regulatory filing on Wednesday and comes as part of a significant leadership shakeup at the ride-hailing giant. This week, Uber saw the departure of Pierre-Dimitri Gore-Coty, head of its delivery arm, after a 13-year tenure. In a move to consolidate leadership, Andrew Macdonald previously overseeing mobility has been promoted to President and Chief Operating Officer. This marks Uber's first COO appointment since 2019. Commenting on his appointment, Arora said, "I'm honoured to join Uber's Board at such an exciting time, as the company plays a central role in commercialising autonomous mobility globally. Uber has already transformed how people and goods move through cities, and I look forward to supporting the company's continued growth." Arora has led Palo Alto Networks since 2018 and previously held senior roles at SoftBank, Google, and T-Mobile. He brings extensive board experience, having served on the boards of SoftBank, Sprint, Colgate-Palmolive, and currently sits on the board of a Swiss luxury group. Welcoming Arora to the board, Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi noted,"Nikesh is one of the technology sector's outstanding leaders, a strategic and disciplined operator, and a fierce competitor. We're delighted to have him join us as we pursue our long-term vision." The leadership changes come as Uber navigates intensifying competition in the robotaxi and delivery sectors. Tesla is expected to unveil its long-anticipated robotaxi service in Austin on 12 June. Meanwhile, Alphabet-owned Waymo already a partner of Uber in Austin and Atlanta, recently hit 10 million paid driverless rides, with weekly demand rising by 150 per cent in under a year. In the food delivery space, rival DoorDash has been expanding aggressively, acquiring Deliveroo and booking platform SevenRooms in recent weeks. The elevation of Macdonald, who will now oversee delivery, mobility, and autonomy, is seen as an effort to free up Khosrowshahi to focus on broader strategic priorities. Since taking the helm in 2017, Khosrowshahi has led Uber through its IPO in 2019, delivered its first operating profit in 2021, and forged key partnerships in the autonomous vehicle space after divesting its in-house AV unit. Addressing internal speculation, Khosrowshahi reassured staff in a memo,"I recognise the changes might prompt questions about my future, so I'll be clear. I have no plans to go anywhere other than flying around the globe keeping up with our ever-expanding footprint." As part of his board role, Arora will receive an annual cash retainer of USD 60,000 (approximately INR 50 lakh), along with USD 300,000 (around INR 2.5 crore) in restricted stock units per year, as detailed in the company's filing.

5 High-Growth US Stocks Leading the Future of Business
In a digital-first world, technological advancements in businesses are no longer just good-to-have, but a must. From Artificial Intelligence (AI) infrastructure to e-commerce, innovation is driving the next wave of successful business models. Against this backdrop, a select group of US companies has emerged as frontrunners of this wave, demonstrating rising profits and highly-scalable business models. If you aim to catch this wave, here are five US growth stocks worth keeping a close eye on. Uber has proven itself as a resilient incumbent in the industry despite the extremely competitive rideshare landscape. One of the main reasons for this can be attributed to its strategic partnerships. Uber recently announced its collaboration with Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) to develop more sophisticated AI models for its autonomous-driving technology while expanding its operational efficiency. In the first quarter of 2025 (1Q 2025), Uber's revenue rose 14% year-on-year (YoY) to US$11.5 billion. This is underpinned by a year-on-year rise in revenue of 15% and 18% for its mobility and delivery segments, respectively. Uber also showed a 35% year-on-year surge in its adjusted Earnings Before Interest Tax Depreciation and Amortisation (EBITDA). Uber's adjusted EBITDA performance exhibits strong and healthy earnings performance by Uber. It also shows its relevance as a platform in the travel and at-home consumption 2Q 2025, Uber's gross bookings are set to grow about 16% to 20% YoY and its adjusted EBITDA by 29% to 35% YoY. With AI continuing to be the talk of the town, Micron is making strides in solidifying its position in the AI-driven semiconductor chip industry. For 2Q FY2025, Micron's revenue from its High Bandwidth Memory chips grew more than 50% quarter-on-quarter and its data centre Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) chip revenue reached a record high. Micron also has a monopoly, being the sole supplier of low-powered DRAM chips into data centres in large quantities. Micron's newly developed 1-gamma DRAM has also achieved 20% lower power, 15% better performance and over 30% in bit-density as compared to its 1-beta development places Micron in a strategic position to capture the growing demand for memory chips and data centres. In 2Q FY2025, Micron reported a revenue of US$8.05 billion, a 38% YoY increase and a more than two-fold increase in audited net income of US$1.58 billion from US$0.79 billion in 2Q FY2024. For 3Q FY2025, its revenue is projected to be between US$8.6 billion to US$9 billion. Another big player in the AI semiconductor industry is AMD. Unlike Micron, AMD produces processing units and graphic cards for AI and gaming applications. For 1Q 2025, AMD announced solid earnings as revenue increased by 36% YoY, along with an increase in net profit of 476% YoY to US$709 million. For 2Q 2025, AMD projected revenue of between US$7.1 billion to US$7.7 billion. The company's management also announced a US$6 billion share repurchase programme, demonstrating strong confidence in AMD's growth and ability to generate consistent strong free cash flow. With the recent frenzy regarding the US tariffs, it may be surprising to see Amazon, an e-commerce giant, on this in 1Q 2025 the company announced a strong performance with net sales increasing by almost 9% YoY to US$155.7 billion. Its net profit also increased from US$10.4 billion in the first quarter in 2024 to US$17.1 billion in 1Q of the largest contributors was Amazon Web Services (AWS). The cloud service division's revenue saw an increase of 17% YoY to US$29.3 billion as it is less susceptible to tariff threats. Amazon is also leveraging AI by partnering with HUMAIN with a US$5 billion investment to develop an innovation hub for AWS AI infrastructure in Saudi Arabia. Adobe's Creative Cloud and its applications is one of the most recognised tools in the creative industry, from Photoshop to InDesign. Adobe is also improving its AI products such as Adobe Experience Platform Agent Orchestrator which is used to manage AI agents and create more personalised creative content. For 1Q FY2025 ending 28 February 2025, Adobe had a record revenue of US$5.7 billion, a 10% YoY increase. Its net income also increased from US$620 million in 1Q FY2024 to US$1.8 billion in 1Q FY2025. The best performing segment was that of Digital Media, with a revenue of US$4.2 billion, representing an 11% YoY growth. Adobe projected that its 2Q FY2025 revenue will be between US$23.3 billion to US$23.55 billion.
