Credolab to enhance Canadian Lenders Association’s Lenders API
TORONTO — October 13, 2021 — The Canadian Lenders Association (CLA) is pleased to welcome credolab as a new approved vendor.
Credolab’s embedded scoring technology provides deeper and more accurate behaviour insights to assess the creditworthiness of all Canadians, even new immigrants, fairly and unbiased. Credolab provides a novel fintech solution that leverages previously untapped behavioural smartphone and web metadata to determine the likelihood of any individual to repay a loan or credit card.
“Credolab is delighted to join the Canadian Lenders Association” said Peter Barcak, credolab’s CEO & Founder. “With immigration a key element of Canada’s economic recovery and long-term prosperity1, over 90% smartphone penetration2, and a propensity of Canadians to use smartphones for financial purposes3 Canadian lenders can greatly benefit from adopting our technology to strengthen their risk management processes while approving more individuals more confidently.”
“We are excited to welcome credolab to the CLA family,” said Gary Schwartz, President of the CLA. “We are always on the lookout for innovative solutions for our growing list of members. By embedding credolab’s solution into CLA Lender’s API, complex data is transformed into relevant insights with real-time embedded risk assessment. These insights will enhance the existing Lenders API by building a model to identify if a device looks suspiciously similar to confirmed fraudulent devices, to deliver flags such as dedup fraud, clean match, velocity, and ID card tampering – especially fake templates and other ID fraud checks.”
