Alloy provides built-in integrations to 120+ data sources for fraud, KYC, credit bureau, and alternative data while also giving you the power to configure and optimize your onboarding and underwriting logic, all via a no-code / low-code decision engine.
Hi PH 👋
Charley from the Alloy team here! We’re excited to officially launch our Credit Underwriting decision engine today :). Alloy has historically been known as a KYC/onboarding platform for fintech companies and banks, but over the past year, more and more of our clients were asking our product team to build a decision engine for credit - so we went ahead and did just that.
Before Alloy, if you wanted to launch a new lending product, say a consumer credit card, you would have to:
Sign with and integrate into all the various data providers for credit (credit bureaus, alternative data, etc) as well as all the various data providers for fraud and KYC
- 😞 Write a bunch of code to express knock out rules, underwriting criteria, product pricing, and much more
- 😩 Write some more code to build out internal dashboards for tracking analytics, manual reviews, debugging
- 😿 And write even more code in regards to auditing, permissioning, and security since you’re working with sensitive financial data
With Alloy Credit Underwriting, fintech companies get an out of the box credit decision engine that’s simpler to integrate and much more scalable. Through a single API integration + access via a no-code/low-code platform, companies can easily:
- 🧰 Bring in attributes from out of the box credit bureau data integrations
- 📈 Express their credit policy through configurable workflows, matrix models, and even host custom models
- 📊 A/B test changes to an underwriting model and run what-if analysis to backtest against previous cohort performance
- 🧠 Make decisions faster thanks to a comprehensive view of much more data on a customer
- 🔥 And a whole lot more :)
We’d love to get your questions and feedback and the team will be here to answer any questions!

Congrats! I am happy to see this live. Tommy & Charlie were creating a hack for us back in Almond days!
@i_vp amazing it just took 6.5 years to build/announce official support after our very first customer actually used us for this purpose.....

@charleyma The decision-making algorithm in the app is exactly what I needed a couple of years ago when I was considering buying a house with a mortgage. I needed a large two-storey house for myself and my family. I didn't earn much then, but my earnings were regular and average. I looked for advice from all my friends, but no one could share the experience. One of them sent me to Mortgage Advice Lincoln, which I went to immediately after the phone call. He's advised me on loans until now. But I'll also take your app into account. Thanks!
@iamvogey Hi David! It's still up to our clients to define their credit policy and then use Alloy to express that policy, but our company's mission is the make financial services safe and seamless for all and so we believe that by providing infrastructure that make it easier for FI's of all shapes and sizes to access and decision on top of as much underwriting data as possible (including, for example. cash flow data), it should also open up better financial products for underserved people too!

Which credit institutions do you trust and why? I need to take out a loan, but I have never encountered lending before.

@charleyma This is dope. Will you support business lending or just consumer? Asking for a friend.
