Who we are · Est. 2013

Precision at scale.

Avant Finance was founded by former quantitative underwriters from Goldman, Two Sigma, and Discover — engineers who believed personal lending deserved the same rigor as institutional capital markets, at a fraction of the friction.

The Avant Finance underwriting team
The desk · New York + Austin

Forty-two engineers, twelve underwriters, and a compliance team that reads every disclosure line before it ships.

Mission

To compress the distance between an individual's ambition and the capital required to execute it — priced fairly, disclosed completely, funded in hours.

Three systems, one protocol.

01

Underwriting engine

Two thousand-plus signals scored against real-time bureau data. Every model is stress-tested weekly against the previous decade of default cycles.

02

Liquidity network

Committed capital from pension funds, insurance balance sheets, and family offices. Rates stay stable through cycles because our funding does.

03

Compliance rail

SEC- and CFPB-aligned policy discipline embedded into every product. Every disclosure passes a three-desk review before issuance.

What we refuse to do

A short list of nevers.

  • No origination fees

    The rate you're quoted is the rate you pay. Nothing deducted before funding.

  • No prepayment penalties

    Pay early, pay any amount, pay off in full — never a cent of penalty.

  • No teaser rates

    Every APR is fixed at issuance and printed on page one of the disclosure.

  • No data resale

    Your application data is never sold, brokered, or shared with third-party marketers.
