Summary
OCAL said its lender-routing system is built to approve more gig workers, newcomers and thin-file borrowers by matching each application to lenders most likely to accept it on reasonable terms.
The platform looks beyond a bureau score, adding income stability and other signals, then runs AML, KYC and machine-learning anomaly checks to produce lender-ready files.
OCAL stressed it does not lend, underwrite or hold loans, leaving credit-default risk with financing partners while it earns fees from arranging financing, vehicle sales and related products.
That approval-first model also ties directly to vehicle sourcing, aiming to cut declines and repeat credit pulls while improving the share of applications that become funded deals.
The company framed the system as both a fairness play and a growth strategy in a Canadian market where contract work, self-employment and immigration are expanding the pool of non-traditional borrowers.
