upSWOT and OnDeck Canada Expand Successful Pilot to Improve Access to Capital for Small Businesses with Data Enhanced Lending Decisions

OnDeck Canada, a national leader in reliable, accessible, and efficient online lending for Canadian small businesses, is expanding its successful pilot with upSWOT, a leading fintech platform to connect business applications for integrated data analysis. 

upSWOT will enable OnDeck Canada to provide their small business clients with the ability to import their business data directly into OnDeck Canada’s lending application. This will help OnDeck Canada make enhanced lending decisions that improve client access to funds to grow their businesses. 

The upSWOT and OnDeck Canada pilot have been successfully completed, and they will now work together in a multi-year contract. This partnership will bring first-in-class alternative data-based lending technologies to small businesses, improving their access to capital. 

Dmitry Norenko, CEO of upSWOT, comments, “Small businesses have long been held back by their lack of sufficient business credit in order to get the right credit opportunities. We are excited to work with OnDeck Canada to offer data enhanced-credit lending opportunities to more small businesses.”
