With a first-of-its-kind solution, Uplinq leverages billions of statistically validated data sets to support a small business lender’s assessment of the creditworthiness of their business customers within their existing credit processes. Uplinq is the first global credit assessment and scoring platform for small business lenders. Uplinq empowers lenders to approve and manage risks on loans they would have otherwise declined based on traditional loan underwriting criteria, while incorporating environmental, market, and community data to better understand the specific loan applicant. It’s Credit Assessment as a Service. The company was founded in 2021 and is based in Toronto, Canada.
