2020: We launched our bureau.
TaleFin began with a simple piece of feedback: the legacy bureaus weren't supporting personal finance providers. So in 2020, we launched our own.
For years, personal finance lenders told us the same thing: the established credit bureaus were built for the big banks, leaned heavily on negative information, and were slow and inflexible to work with. The lenders serving everyday Australians were an afterthought.
In 2020 we set out to fix that, launching a bureau shaped directly by that feedback. The goal was a credit reporting partner that actually understood personal finance providers: better data, faster access, and the flexibility to fit the way modern lenders work.
It was the first step in a bigger mission, to rebuild the credit decisioning layer around fairness, transparency and real financial behaviour. Everything we've built since started here.
