process Lender across unified dataset and cross check against real bank names, and reduce to smallest possible set of consistent names

can validate against list of licensed lenders, however there are a lot of sources:

FDIC, NCUA, CDFI Fund, others?

Even without validation against list, we can also take elements of their name, and use that to often know what type of lender (e.g., Credit Unions often end with 'FCU' or 'CU')
