Hatch Bank and HFD Extend Partnership to Power Patient Financing for Healthcare Providers Nationwide
SAN MARCOS, CA // September 16, 2026 — Hatch Bank (“Hatch” or “the Bank”), a purpose-built sponsor bank focused exclusively on fintech lending and credit partnerships, today announced an extended and expanded lending partnership under a new long-term agreement with Healthcare Finance Direct, LLC (“HFD”). HFD is a leading provider of pay-over-time patient financing solutions for dentists, orthodontists, MedSpas, and other elective healthcare providers.
Hatch and HFD are extending and strengthening their lending partnership after a productive initial three-year relationship that has enabled HFD’s Bank Loan Program to serve hundreds of thousands of patients across leading healthcare providers, including Bosley and DECA Dental Group. Through the partnership, Hatch will serve as HFD’s originating bank, supporting patient financing programs that turn more treatment conversations into completed care.
As out-of-pocket healthcare costs continue to rise and traditional credit underwriting leaves many patients without options, HFD’s model gives providers a way to say “yes” to nearly every patient while getting paid upfront. Hatch’s origination capabilities and balance sheet support allow HFD to scale that model responsibly across an expanding set of specialties, from dental and orthodontics to audiology, vision, and veterinary care.
“HFD’s mission-driven approach to patient financing makes them exactly the kind of partner Hatch was built to support,” said Amanda Swoverland, President of Hatch Bank. “Extending this partnership reflects our confidence in HFD’s team, their underwriting discipline, and the durability of what we’ve built together — and positions both companies for the next phase of growth.”
The extended partnership comes as HFD continues to expand its footprint with some of the nation’s largest healthcare brands. Tyler Johnson, Chief Executive Officer of HFD, said: “Hatch has been a foundational partner in HFD’s ability to deliver on our mission of providing a payment plan for every patient. Their deep expertise in sponsor banking and compliance has given us the confidence to keep expanding into new specialties and provider relationships, and we’re glad to be extending that partnership for years to come.”
Hatch’s experienced team and regulatory infrastructure have allowed HFD to expand its provider base while maintaining the compliance standards required of a bank-originated lending program. The extension provides continuity for HFD’s existing provider network as HFD continues to scale its financing programs to new markets.
