Banking & Lending

Know which clients need financing — and can repay it.

For corporate, commercial and alternative lenders coordinating RM, product and credit.

Every relationship manager has more clients than time. Compass continuously enriches the portfolio, ranks it by trigger events, and puts a credit-aware brief in front of the RM before the next call.

The problem

Portfolios of 200–400 clients per RM make quarterly reviews structurally inadequate. Credit deterioration surfaces in audited financials 6–9 months late. Cross-sell lives in slide decks and RM memory instead of firing on live triggers.

Data we integrate
  • 01Core banking, CRM & credit systems (Salesforce FSC, nCino, Finastra)
  • 02Company registries, filings, audited financials — Companies House, Registro Imprese, InfoCamere, Cerved, D&B
  • 03Public triggers — funding rounds, M&A, hiring, court filings, tenders won/lost
  • 04Sanctions, PEP, adverse media (multilingual) & ESG feeds
  • 05Contracts, term sheets & credit files (PDF) — parsed into structured covenants, maturities, pricing
  • 06Market & rate data, sector reports, transaction data (open banking where available)
How we contextualize
  • Entity resolution across group, subsidiaries and beneficial owners — one client, one view.
  • Trigger-based coverage: ranks the portfolio daily by financing-need probability and repayment capacity.
  • Early-warning model that fuses public operational signals 6–9 months ahead of audited financials.
  • Cross-sell matching between live client triggers and product-specialist expertise.
  • Every recommendation carries evidence, sources and the model version — audit-ready for credit committee and regulator.
What's broken today

The structural problems we solve.

Problem 01

RM coverage spread too thin

Portfolios of 200–400 clients per RM make quarterly review cycles structurally inadequate. Signals decay in days; portfolios are reviewed in months.

Problem 02

Credit deterioration found in financials

By the time leading indicators show in audited financials, the workout team is already engaged. Hiring contraction, supplier disputes and management churn arrive 6–9 months earlier — in public data.

Problem 03

Cross-sell trapped in slide decks

Product specialists know which clients fit which structures, but matching that expertise to live trigger events depends on RM memory and ad-hoc forwarding.

A concrete case

€40M refinancing spotted 7 months early — before the workout team ever heard the name.

A mid-cap manufacturer had two supplier lawsuits, a 15% hiring cut and a leadership change — all public, none in the bank’s file. Compass fused these signals, ranked the exposure red, generated a credit-aware brief for the RM and a talking-point pack for the product specialist. Refinancing was structured seven months before it would have shown in audited financials.

Common questions

What banking leaders ask us first.

How is this compatible with credit policy and audit?
Every recommendation carries a full evidence trail — the signals, the sources, the model version. Compass is designed to be defensible in front of credit committees and regulators.
Does it replace our credit-rating models?
No. Compass surfaces leading operational signals and routes them to the right owner; final credit decisions stay in your existing rating and policy framework.
How do you handle MNPI and confidentiality?
Compass operates exclusively on public and licensed data plus your own CRM. Sensitive data flows can be permissioned per role, region and entity.
Trust by design

Evidence, explainability, audit — built into every output.

Source-level evidence

Every signal, score and recommendation links back to the underlying record — the email, the filing, the transaction, the document — with the source visible at a click.

Explainable recommendations

No black-box outputs. Each priority states why it was promoted, which signals contributed, which were declassed, and which model version produced it.

Audit trail by default

Signals, model versions, reviewers and actions are logged and reconstructable later — ready for internal control, regulators and your own governance.

Human-in-the-loop

Compass recommends. Authorized people decide. Every consequential action requires a named reviewer who can confirm, override or annotate the reasoning.
