Ten Companies Embracing Lending Innovation

SMEs remain the powerhouses of most economies, both global and regional. But it’s often still difficult for them to get the funding they need to thrive. How can we bridge the $5.2 trillion global funding gap for these deserving yet underserved businesses? And how can lenders expand into this high-demand market segment?

By embracing digital transformation and implementing intelligent risk decisioning, loan providers can ensure greater accuracy and agility when making lending decisions for SMEs. While there is still much untapped potential in the industry, more and more lenders are willing to embrace innovation, better serving the needs of SMEs without increasing their risk. Check out our list for some of the SME lenders leading the way. 

Faster, More Agile Loan Approvals

SME lenders across the globe are trailblazing new, future-proof ways to serve SMEs and transform formerly clunky, complex application processes into streamlined, optimized ones. Utilizing innovative tech can enable you to automate credit decisioning to provide accurate, real-time approvals, allowing SMEs to gain access to funds quicker than ever before. By automating data collection, risk decisioning and pricing, lenders can enable faster approvals and ensure funding is in hand within a matter of only minutes.

Balance risk with opportunity across the customer lifecycle.
