EVEN Financial

Founded in 2015 by current CEP Phillip Rosen, Even Financial offers a B2B2C API for financial services search. Even operates as a digital marketplace where financial services companies can target their financial products to specific users.

They use machine learning to analyze data from lenders, third parties and customers to predict what offers customers will respond to and qualify for. And, for financial institutions, they've developed an engine to handle vetting, preapproval, and regulatory compliance thereby streamlining the process. Even believes their system cuts down on defaults and charge-offs as well.

For their partner sites, a customer browsing the site will be matched directly through digital marketing and, when clicking on a product, the customer is not sent to a marketing site but instead to the products digital onboarding page. This allows financial institutions to add more customers than traditional marketing would.

For consumers, Even Financial, whether they know it is there or not, allows them to compare financial products and find products that match their needs. And with Even Financial working with the financial institutions, customers can be approved faster than they traditionally would.
