Small Business Lending

Challenges

The digital marketplace has created opportunity for small and midsize business (SMB) lenders to serve more customers. However, fraud schemes like shell companies and dealer fraud continue to be a challenge. In order to succeed, SMB lenders must be able to manage fraud and credit risk yet quickly deliver compelling offers to SMBs. However, consistent and reliable fraud and company data is difficult to obtain.
