Embedded Finance is one of the fastest growing areas of fintech. A wide range of companies have started offering financial services to their customers both to increase revenue and increase LTV. This can be seen through the lens of Banking as a Service (BaaS) which has exploded in recent years. And while BaaS is a great first step, the natural evolution that will unlock the potential of the embedded finance industry is the ability to easily launch credit products to drive growth. However, launching credit products comes with a whole set of issues such as understanding risk and building underwriting models.
Noble’s platform enables companies to manage their entire underwriting flows end-to-end without building APIs integrated into their offerings. From easily connecting and consuming industry standard and alternative data sources, Noble helps non-technical users create credit offers best suited for their products and services. Noble’s robust rules engine gives customers the freedom to create, edit and launch credit models without the need for lengthy deployment processes.

Tomer and co-founder and CTO Moran Mishanfounded the company in early 2021. “There are simply too many challenges companies face when looking to build credit products, including compliance, debt financing and underwriting. Noble’s mission is to remove these barriers and enable the inevitable movement of lending experiences from offline. to online in the same way as payment processing platforms built the new payment rails that enabled the explosive growth in online payments witnessed in the last decade.
“Noble has created a credit underwriting infrastructure-as-a-service platform that enables any company to build proprietary credit products in-house. With its strong product offerings and impressive founding team, Noble has already acquired B2B and B2C customers across applications,” said Noble . Daniel Aronovitz, Principal at Insight Partners. “We look forward to working with Noble as they continue to grow.”

Some of the largest fintechs in the world already rely on Noble for credit . decision engine, and the opportunity ahead is enormous” – said Yonatan MandelbaumPrincipal at TLV Partners
