The problem

Lending to SMEs is complex; it demands it's own approach

Today, many lenders start with technology ported from consumer or corporate lines. But the diversity, volatility and economics of the SME segment frustrates efforts to run profitable SME franchises on existing technology stacks.

The result is frequent manual interventions, high impairments, driving low margins and low appetite from lenders. In turn, this leaves SMEs with an expensive and inaccessible product, compromising growth.

Our solution

Purpose built technology for profitable SME lending

We combine data and risk science within a single, end-to-end lending platform, enabling lenders to build competitive and profitable lending businesses that capitalise on unique credit opportunities and exhibit high efficiency and automation.
