Scienaptic AI announced today the formation of an alliance with Codat that enables seamless integration of small business data into Scienaptic’s AI-powered credit decisioning platform. By combining predictive tools with access to data that provides a holistic financial profile of an SMB, the partnership will help financial institutions to expand their loan portfolios through faster, better decision-making.

Codat – which has offices in London and New York – currently has over 70 clients, from lenders to corporate cards, insurance to cashflow forecasting, and more. Via a single API, it enables financial services organisations to integrate with a wide and growing range of accounting, banking, and commerce platforms used by their small business customers.

Lenders typically rely on credit-bureau data and financial statements to determine a firm’s riskiness. However, that alone is not a sufficient indicator of financial stability or ability to repay, and can often paint a misleading picture of that firm’s situation - especially in the rapidly changing COVID landscape. Scienaptic’s AI-powered platform now combines Codat's access to rich business data to deliver superior risk assessment of SMEs.

​

"Working with Scienaptic is an important milestone for us. It is the first integration of our API into an AI-driven credit decisioning platform. This will result in very positive outcomes for both Scienaptic’s clients and their customers. Combining our rich data connectivity and Scienaptic’s AI-powered lending will enable more loan approvals, more quickly." Alex Cardona, COO & Co-Founder at Codat

​

"Open accounting platforms have transformed the way lending is done in the SME Space. We are thrilled to have partnered with the global leader. It will enable us to integrate a wider range of non-traditional data into our platform for a 360-degree SME creditworthiness assessment." Mark Dreux, Head of Strategy at Scienaptic
