Bloom Credit provides an easy-to-use API that integrates with all three credit bureaus, helping grow a new class of credit products and services in a fraction of the time it has traditionally taken. The company’s latest offering, Furnish by Bloom Credit, launched earlier this month to help clients furnish, or report back, consumer activity to all three credit bureaus at once and deeply curtail credit reporting errors to reduce the negative impact these errors cause consumers. Current clients for Furnish by Bloom Credit to automate furnishment to their consumer clients include Augie, Ava, Deserve, Purpose Financial, and Yotta.

Bloom Credit has raised $17M in total funding, including $13M in October 2020 led by Allegis NL, along with Resolute Ventures, Slow Ventures, and Commerce Ventures, including a previously unannounced $3M from angel investors that included Better Tomorrow Ventures’ Sheel Mohnot and Jake Gibson, Acorns Founder Jeff Cruttenden, Marqeta Founder Jason Gardner, Vice-Chair of Personal Capital Mark Goines, and Former President of Prosper Ron Suber.
