FAQ

Common questionsabout Provenance Credit.

Honest answers about what we do, how the model works, and where we are right now.

Getting started

What is Provenance Credit?

Provenance Credit builds verified reliability track records for manufacturers in trade finance. We refer qualified, KYB-verified manufacturers to lending partners, and use resulting loan outcome data to build a reliability score over time.

Is Provenance Credit a bank or a lender?

No. We don't originate, fund, or hold loans, and we never touch loan capital. Lending decisions are made entirely by our lending partners, using their own credit process.

Is Provenance Credit live yet?

We're in early build, working with a small number of manufacturers and lending partners ahead of a full launch. If you're a manufacturer or a lender interested in working with us, get in touch.

For manufacturers

How does Provenance Credit help me?

We refer verified manufacturers to trade finance lenders, and your track record — trade history, documentation, repayment performance over time — becomes an asset that can help you access better terms as it grows.

For lenders

How does the referral model work?

You receive a KYB-verified manufacturer referral, backed by documented trade history. You underwrite entirely on your own terms — we don't originate, fund, or touch the loan. If you fund it, the resolved outcome feeds back into that manufacturer's record.

Provenance Credit Score

What factors make up the score?

The score is built from five factors: shipment performance, document and data integrity, identity and compliance standing, trade history and network depth, and platform verification depth. We don't publish the exact weighting or scoring formula, to protect the integrity of the model.
