ABOUT US

For an efficient and fair credit decision

A team united around a common goal: to make the granting of credit simpler and more inclusive for consumers, and faster and safer for lenders.

The Algoan team

Our history

In 2018, Michaël, ex-Director of R&D at Dassault Systèmes, and Paul, ex-Director of Structured Finances at Fitch Ratings, joined forces to found Algoan, a fintech pioneering credit decisioning based on Open Banking data.

Convinced that there is an alternative to traditional credit granting, based on sometimes unfair and inefficient socio-demographic criteria and long, complicated processes, the co-founders see the potential of Open Banking data to enable automatic, much more efficient credit decisioning.

Thanks to their complementary skills, they have formed a multi-disciplinary team to create cutting-edge algorithms that are revolutionizing credit decisioning.

Today, Algoan products are used by some of France's biggest banks and are deployed in several European countries.

Our vision

By allowing banking data to be shared freely, Open Banking gives consumers back the power over their finances.

Real-time management of accounts, savings and investments, access to new, more personalized services, protection against overindebtedness... Open Banking enables everyone to make informed decisions about their money.

At Algoan, we are determined to use this tremendous lever for innovation to support the major banking players towards a more virtuous and inclusive form of finance, at the service of individuals and their projects.
