Data-driven underwriting, proven on our own loan book
Kora’s founding team has spent over a decade in lending together. Starting in 2015, we were among the first fintechs to underwrite loans on cash flow instead of credit scores, lending our own capital through a full credit cycle and a pandemic. Across roughly $100 million in loans, borrowers everyone else called subprime paid like prime.
We founded Kora in 2021 to bring that model to other lenders. Today it runs behind consumer, auto, and SMB credit decisions, tested by lenders and credit investors across verticals and retrained as every portfolio seasons. Lenders approve, decline, and send adverse action notices on our data, with reason codes behind every decision.
