Introduces real-time financial insights, in partnership with DigiAlly, to power more innovative SME underwriting, drive more efficient cross-border trade, and broaden business credit access across ASEAN.

BENGALURU,IndiaandSINGAPORE,April 8, 2025/PRNewswire/ -- Decentro,India'sleading API banking and financial infrastructure platform, announced today that it is deepening its presence inSoutheast Asiaby launching its advanced business credit and underwriting solution. Powered by a partnership withSingapore-headquartered DigiAlly, this initiative brings real-time business financial intelligence to the ASEAN region—an industry-first capability enabling more innovative lending, risk assessment, and cross-border financial operations.

AsSoutheast Asia'sdigital economy accelerates, access to credit and intelligent underwriting has become vital for both SMEs and fintechs. The Asian Development Bank estimates the SME credit gap inAsiato be over$2.1 trillion, with ASEAN nations representing a significant portion of the total. Yet, despite rapid fintech innovation, many financial institutions still rely on outdated verification and underwriting models, exposing them to fraud and slowing credit access. With1 in 5 fraud cases now involving synthetic identities(Experian, 2023), the urgency for real-time business intelligence is apparent. Without modern, data-driven infrastructure, institutions risk falling behind—and missing out on the next wave of fintech-led growth.

Through a single integration, fintech platforms and financial institutions across the ASEAN region can now access business financial reports, trade data, and verification insights—all in real time and also via a single, comprehensive PDF report.
