Trade Ledger, the data-driven lending technology provider, has partnered with Thought Machine, the cloud-native banking technology company and developer of core banking engine Vault Core, “to provide a fully integrated technology stack for commercial lenders and banks.”
API-driven data exchange between the two companies will “enable banks using Thought Machine to add Trade Ledger’s loan origination and management capabilities, transforming the customer experience and streamlining lending operations.”
As a result, they will “gain a significant competitive advantage by being able to offer their business customers quicker, easier applications for working capital finance and other business lending solutions, with fast initial drawdown, via Thought Machine’s Integration Library.”
The world’s top banks have reportedly “adopted the Vault platform as the foundation layer of their technology stack, including JPMorgan Chase and Standard Chartered.”
VaultCore enables banks to “build any product they wish, giving complete control and ease of integration with other bank systems and partner offerings – and this now includes the Trade Ledger lending platform.”
With the Trade Ledger integration, banks can now “configure and launch new products such as secured loans, invoice and asset finance, with ease and control.”
