About PeerIQ
PeerIQ operates as a financial software firm providing a risk analytics platform geared towards the consumer lending marketplace. Founded in 2014 by Ram Ahluwalia, Robert Khedouri, and Daniel Long, the company was established to create a bridge between loan originators and capital markets participants. Ahluwalia, the CEO, brought over two decades of experience from the consumer banking and buy-side sectors, including executive roles at Bank of America-Merrill Lynch where he managed investment decisions for a substantial credit portfolio. This deep background in structured credit and statistical arbitrage informed the company's direction.
Read full description
The firm's core business revolves around its Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform, which delivers data and risk analytics to institutional investors, fintechs, and banks. The platform aggregates and validates vast amounts of loan data, providing clients with cash flow analytics, portfolio management tools, and independent risk assessments. This enables clients to analyze, manage, and price loan portfolios with greater confidence, thereby enhancing transparency and liquidity in the lending ecosystem. The business generates revenue through subscriptions to these analytics and data services.
A significant milestone occurred in the first quarter of 2021 when PeerIQ was acquired by Cross River, a technology-driven financial services organization. The two companies had already been partners since 2018, combining PeerIQ's risk management capabilities with Cross River's capital and regulatory infrastructure. Following the acquisition, PeerIQ became an affiliate of Cross River, integrating its analytics platform into Cross River's broader Banking-as-a-Service (BaaS) offerings. This strategic move was designed to provide Cross River's clients with embedded analytics, strengthening risk management and expanding access to capital for fintechs and other lenders.
