Moody’s Analytics Launches the MARQ™ Portal and Credit Score for High Efficiency Small Business Lending

The MARQ portal and score are key components of Moody’s
Analytics small business lending solution, an integrated set of
tools designed to improve the lending experience for banks and
businesses.
Moody’s Analytics, the leading provider of lending and risk
management solutions, today announced the launch of the MARQ
portal, an innovative tool that automates the exchange of financial
information between borrowers and lenders and generates the MARQ
small business credit score.
“The difficulty of accessing small business financial
information makes lending to this segment inefficient,
inconsistent, and expensive,” said Nancy Michael, Senior Director
at Moody’s Analytics. “Our new MARQ portal and score will speed up
the lending process by replacing weeks of back-and-forth emails and
phone calls with the click of a button to instantly get financial
and credit information to lenders.”
By creating a one-time, secure link to their accounting
information, small businesses can instantly get their MARQ score
and gain insight into how banks view their creditworthiness. The
score is generated by Moody’s Analytics award-winning RiskCalc™
models for analyzing private company credit risk. Banks can
immediately access the MARQ score and underlying financial
information through Lending Cloud,
Moody’s Analytics’ cloud-based loan origination platform, for
automated analysis and faster credit decisions.
“We believe the combination of the new MARQ tools with our
Lending Cloud origination platform provides the best, most complete
solution for small business lending on the market,” said Steve
Tulenko, Executive Director at Moody’s Analytics. “We are working
to help lenders make better decisions, much faster than they can
today.”
The MARQ portal is built with technology developed by Finagraph,
a pioneering provider of automated financial data collection and
business intelligence solutions.
