Ask YC: Automated ways to perform credit check?

from the self-post dept.

I've been googling looking for APIs to automate credit checks of people and businesses submitting applications to a finance related website but haven't had much luck.

Has anyone in the Web2.0 space seen or heard of such a service that would provide an API and structured credit reporting data?

The only thing I've been able to find is: http://www.strikeiron.com/Catalog/ProductDetail.aspx?pv=2.0.0&pn=Cortera+Credit+Pulse

That looks okay -- and pricing isn't too crazy -- but was wondering if folks knew of anything else out there?

It's not "cheap" for a license, but I looked into this company a few years back when I was thinking about getting into the space, and it seemed pretty reputable. Haven't reviewed the documentation in great detail; however, it still might be worth a look. http://creditengine.net

I worked at a place that used: 1) Hart Software http://www.hartsoftware.com/view/ 2) A service directly from Experian

Neither of these are Web 2.0 type solutions, but they certainly worked...
