KATEYO began as a simple idea. It was inspired by the notable inefficiencies of the SMB lending space compared to other industries, like mortgages and automotive lending. In today’s world, speed is a true competitive advantage.
So, with the principle of secure and seamless data flow in mind, we set out with the goal of empowering brokers and lenders, of all sizes, to grow their business faster and easier, while safeguarding their customers’ sensitive information.
We are driven by our Purpose, “To Creatively Innovate Practical Solutions That Elevates Success” and guided by our Core Values:
The result of our ambition and efforts is the industry’s first and only Universal Funding Gateway. A game changing solution that seamlessly and securely transfers deal data from brokers and lenders at the push of a button. As we introduce and implement this dynamic tool at the top firms in the industry, early adopters will enjoy an immense competitive advantage and accelerated profitability.
We are excited to welcome you to be a part of our journey.
