About OakNorth Credit Intelligence

A spinoff from OakNorth Bank, at OakNorth Credit Intelligence (ONCI) we are building a SaaS platform which transforms commercial lending by helping banks build deeper relationships with their clients, open new, more profitable opportunities, whilst delivering credit decisions up to ten times faster than traditional methods, with lower risk and greater efficiency.

This came as a result of our realisation that despite small and medium sized companies (SMEs) being a powerful force in the economy, many of them find it difficult to raise capital during critical stages of their company growth. Traditional commercial lending is highly rigid often making them misaligned with a company’s requirements. We aim to solve this problem at ONCI.

About OakNorth

Small and medium-size enterprises (SME) are one of the biggest drivers of growth and innovation in economies all over the world. Despite these companies being a powerful force in the economy, many SMEs find it difficult to raise capital during critical stages of their company growth. Traditional commercial lending is optimised to make loans that are either too small to be effective or too large and expensive to be practical. At OakNorth, our mission is to help lenders fill this gap which we refer to as the “Missing Middle.” We are building a SaaS platform called the Credit Intelligence Suite which transforms commercial lending by helping banks build deeper relationships with their clients, open new, more profitable opportunities, whilst delivering credit decisions up to ten times faster than traditional models, with lower risk and greater efficiency.
