Know the risk before you extend credit

Bankruptcies, liens, judgments, UCCs, ownership structures. Middesk searches, synthesizes, and resolves so your team focuses on credit decisions, not data collection.

Lenders and vertical platforms underwrite millions of businesses through Middesk.

Payment history doesn't tell you if the business is still operating, who controls it, or whether a lien was filed last week. That gap lives in your manual review queue. Meanwhile, your borrowers are approving with a competitor.

Minutes per application in manual data assembly

The intelligence layer between application and decision

Business identity verified before credit screenings begin. Accurate customer information means higher quality results and more accurate decisions.

Ownership mapped through our entity graph. Liens, judgments, bankruptcies, and UCCs connected to the business and its principals. Risk visible across the full corporate structure.

Inconclusive checks don't stall in queue. Agents pull additional sources, resolve discrepancies, and deliver decision-ready files to accelerate time to decision.

Portrait of Samuel Twersky
The assumption in this industry is that moving fast means taking on more risk. Middesk removed that tradeoff for us.

Before Middesk, altbanq's verification stack was functional but fragmented. KYB, UCC searches, lien checks — each one a separate system, a separate handoff, a separate delay. Credit teams passed requests to operations. Operations ran searches manually and passed results back. Every deal moved at the speed of those handoffs. With Middesk, altbanq now funds businesses the same day they apply.
