Five reasons to partner Open Banking data with Management Accounts

Understandably, a lot of the buzz that resides around Open Banking disseminates from the belief that great opportunities await the everyday consumer. And I am not one to say this won’t come to fruition, but certainly there is a long road ahead of us. Given my role at Validis, a B2B-focussed Fintech, I’m much more interested in the world of the SME...

Why run before you can walk? Digital data assets for SME lending

Hi @James, when talking about management accounts I mean access to things like the General Ledger and Sub Ledgers, all visible at a trasactional level. Lenders do indeed use those financial inidcators for making credit decisions but we can now give them access to these in practical real time (an exchange can take typically 4-10 minutes). A huge saving over the previous process of compiling records, manual sends etc. Plus, our unique standardisation process means it doesn't matter which accounting platform they are retrieved from, the Lender gets a consistent view. We build 'connectors' (API driven) to extract the information and it does require separate ones for separate packages. Thanks.

Hi @Dharmesh, thanks for reading. The advancements in tech have already been made! Head on over to www.validis.com if you are interested to see how cloud-based technology can non-intrusively extract and standardise financial data from accounting platforms. It's all consented to by the data owner, the SME. Thanks.
