What is a Credit Scoring API?

An API (Application Programming Interface) is a gateway that allows your systems (CRM, ERP, e-commerce platform) to communicate in real-time with a scoring engine.

How It Works

1

Secure authentication via API key or OAuth.

2

Submit a scoring request (e.g., company information, bank statements, balance sheets).

3

Instant response containing: a score, default probability, recommendation (accept, reject, request guarantees).

Speed

All within seconds, without human intervention.

Key Advantages

Speed

Near-instant decision for a prospect or customer.

Scalability

Process hundreds or thousands of requests without overburdening teams.

Consistency

Same criteria applied to all decisions, less arbitrariness.

Native Integration

Plugs into your existing tools (CRM, ERP, SaaS platforms).

Continuous Monitoring

Automatic score updates with every data change.

Concrete Use Cases

Customer Onboarding

Verify new customer solvency at the time of signing.

Credit Limit Granting
