How Markaz’s automated business screening and decision APIs make it easier for banks to prospect small business customers
A problem
One of the biggest pain points for banks and financial institutions is not being able to accurately vet the small businesses they want to onboard. With limited information available to the public for small businesses and most business databases focusing on more easily accessible public business data, small businesses are often left out, and small business-focused businesses miss out on the opportunity to serve their services to potential small business customers. :
Another challenge is the time it takes on a small business. Many businesses with poor match rates are forced to use multiple business data sources or manual screening processes to try to screen their potential small business customers and often fail. Each batch of searchable data involves a dollar and time cost, and let’s not forget about fraudulent and cloned businesses.
Reliably sorting good from bad business records can be a nightmare.
