Dutch digital core banking provider five°degrees and London-based fintech have partnered to strengthen their position in the SME lending industry.

The partnership is anticipated to enable banks and financial services provider to support SMEs via lending access and risk mitigation.

As part of the collaboration, Codat becomes part of five°degrees’ Open Banking Marketplace, which boosts collaboration between banks and technology companies for steamlined digital customer experiences, enhanced efficiencies, and trouble-free compliance.

Codat co-founder Alexander Cardona said: “Taking an ‘Open Accounting’ approach enables banks to have greater access to real-time accounting data. This helps banks provide faster and more accurate lending decisions for small businesses while managing risk effectively.

“With the ability for banks to make quick lending decisions based on real-time insights, SMEs feel valued and lengthily paper vetting processes are avoided.”

Codat is building an ecosystem of connected datasets. The company’s single API allows companies to easily access consented, contributed data from their small business customers.
