We help SMEs
unlock their potential
Creating a win-win to SMEs and financial intermediaries
Our product suite as been designed to reduce information asymmetries between SMEs and the financial system - unlocking more capital, and benefiting the real economy on a systemic level.
Credit Passport is available to resellers seeking to increase loyalty and stickiness for their customers or members, and to give them a tangible value added service. It is available as a co-branded service, or as an embedded element to be used inside a partner site.
The Credit Gateway API allows us to make the Credit Passport score instantly available via an API.
There are two options - partners that already have Open Banking data, where we process that to deliver the score, or partners that would like us to provide the consent step to collect OpenBanking data as a white- label step within their flow.
Where end-customers are not available, a fully automated financial-model-only score is also available.
WHO WE WORK WITH
-

Challenger banks & alternative lenders
Using Credit Gateway API, lenders can understand the most accurate and up-to-the minute picture of an SMEs credit risk. This means no asymmetry of information and the ability to better price products and reduce time-to-decision.
- For lenders that already have internal scoring systems, adding Credit Passport as an additional component increases accuracy
- The PD is based on the Basel II definition of default and mapped to the Moody’s rating scale to allow the repackaging of SME loan portfolios for securitisation
- We directly introduce highly targeted lending offers to direct Credit Passport customers, integrated with their origination process, so it also provides an additional source of leads and reduces effort on the lending side by directly passing digital information required for the application
- Portfolio monitoring – because the OpenBanking connection is ongoing once connected, the credit score is not obtained once on application but continues to update for the length of the relationship. This allows lenders to monitor their portfolio for proactive risk management plus to offer additional products to SMEs as their risk profile evolves
- Lenders can also present their customers with the free Credit Passport score, and redirect them to the Credit Passport Dashboard for more information. This increases SME loyalty and creates a sticky feature in what is normally a one-hit relationship
-
Platforms & fintech
By placing a credit score up front in a market place or comparison platform, intelligent filters can be added to ensure that users only are presented with relevant and obtainable credit offers.
Our rich data API exchange also means that users could apply with massively reduced effort by sending the information package to the lender with a single click.
Additionally the Credit Passport badge can be embedded in the users platform dashboard to create a sticky experience as well as allow the platform to suggest new relevant offers as the credit score changes over time.
Examples for platforms that would benefit from Credit Gateway and Credit Passport are:
- Finance Comparison platforms
- Procurement platforms
- Trade finance platforms
- Intelligent cashflow tools
- Cloud accounting tools
And anywhere else where SMEs come to interact with their finances.
