About TaleFin

The bureau alternative, built from the lender up.

TaleFin launched in 2020, when personal finance lenders told us the legacy bureaus were failing their businesses and hurting their customers. Since then we've built a best-in-breed risk management suite that delivers transparent, accurate insight behind every personal finance decision.
