No more 'rip and replace'

Abel’s APIs can infuse new capabilities into your existing applications or power entirely new lending propositions, providing you with the outcome you need at the appropriate level of investment.

Large software applications

‘Industrialised’ software applications require ‘all or nothing’ usage with high implementation and change costs

  • Requires process re-engineering and re-training

  • Reliance on custom integration backlogs

  • Only available in full or ‘per module’

  • Heavy upfront investment, long implementation and ‘big bang’ go live

Abel’s API native platform

Seamless integration and capabilities that can scale in line with your outcomes and investment appetite

  • Completely flexible and composable services

  • 'Headless' integration with customer and employee workflows

  • API-native integrations with third party systems

  • Fully composable for ‘per-feature’ usage

  • Supports agile implementation across both risk and technology

Seamless integration with your entire lending ecosystem

Our API-native platform can seamlessly integrate with your existing technology estate, accelerated by a range existing integrations into leading lending and technology services.
