Qlarifi Secures $1.4M in Pre-Seed Funding: Pioneering the First Real-Time BNPL Credit Database

Qlarifi is excited to announce that we have successfully raised $1,400,000 in our latest funding round, a milestone that validates our mission to revolutionize the BNPL (Buy Now, Pay Later) lending space. As the first real-time BNPL consumer credit database, we empower BNPL providers by offering the most insightful consumer underwriting data based on real transaction histories. This influx of capital will help us further enhance our platform, ensuring that lenders have access to the comprehensive and reliable data needed to make more informed underwriting decisions. By using richer data, we aim to create a win-win environment where BNPL providers can extend better-tailored credit products while consumers enjoy more responsible lending practices. Our journey began as industry veterans from various BNPL providers, frustrated by the roadblocks stemming from a lack of dedicated credit reporting infrastructure for the BNPL ecosystem. We witnessed firsthand how vulnerable consumers suffered from inadequate protections, while responsible consumers were often overlooked. With our innovative solution, we are paving the way for a future where credit signals, derived from actual BNPL transactions, enable lenders to identify and reward positive financial behaviors. At the same time, our approach with data privacy and minimization at its core ensures that every consumer’s information is handled with the utmost care and security. This funding will further our commitment to providing the critical infrastructure needed to improve the BNPL ecosystem. By equipping lenders with the right data, we can help ensure that consumers have access to the credit products that best suit their needs, fostering a fairer and more transparent financial landscape for all.
