Bloom Credit Announces Strategic Partnership with Taktile

Allows lenders to quickly launch credit products with accelerated credit decisioning

NEW YORK, October 23, 2024–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Bloom Credit, the leading API platform modernizing the access, reporting, and expansion of credit data, announced today a strategic partnership with next-generation, risk decision platform Taktile. The new collaboration gives Taktile’s customer base of leading fintech companies, banks, and credit unions embedded access to Bloom Credit’s platform, providing faster, more accurate data from the three major credit bureaus to accelerate credit decisioning.

In the competitive lending market, how quickly a lender responds to a business or retail customer’s loan request is generally a leading factor in whether they choose that business. With this, nearly three in four credit professionals say improving the speed of credit decisions was important or critical in evolving their capabilities according to Equifax.

Now, Taktile customers have seamless access to real-time credit data and advanced analytics through an instant integration with the Bloom Credit API. This integration empowers teams to make more informed automated credit decisions faster on Taktile with standardized data available in a low-code environment for streamlined implementation.

“We are excited to be partnering with Taktile, which we see lenders increasingly turning to for credit decisioning capabilities,” said Christian Widhalm, CEO of Bloom Credit. “Like Bloom, Taktile is aligned with a mission to deliver fast, accurate data and to help customers to drive growth and mitigate risk while helping them seamlessly get products to market.”

Broadly, the partnership reinforces new standards around speed and data accuracy for the digital lending industry, which is estimated to reach nearly $72B globally by 2032 according to Allied Research.

“Our partnership with Bloom Credit is all about empowering our customers to make faster, more precise credit decisions. By seamlessly integrating Bloom Credit’s real-time data and analytics into our risk decision platform, we enable credit and risk teams to innovate at speed, reduce risk, and ultimately deliver better financial products to their end users without relying on technical support,” said Maik Taro Wehmeyer, CEO and Co-Founder of Taktile.

Bloom Credit’s partnership with Taktile fast follows its recent launch of Bloom+, a white-labeled, no-code API, which allows financial institutions to offer their customers the ability to report alternative credit scoring data from their primary checking accounts to credit bureaus in order to help build credit profiles.
