Pathway Launches Automation Platform to Redefine Underwriting
NEW YORK, NY — September 2025 — Pathway, a New York–based fintech company, is transforming how funders and brokers underwrite small business financing. By parsing and reconciling bank statements, auto-screening deals, and producing mathematically verifiable outputs, Pathway helps underwriting teams cut decision time from hours to minutes while improving accuracy and consistency.
The platform was built by underwriters, for underwriters. That perspective shapes everything from its clean summaries and deep audits to its configurable decision rules—designed to eliminate dead paper and accelerate deal flow without sacrificing accuracy.
“We aren’t just a document reader—we’re a decision engine,” said co-founder Andrew Bisch. “We automate the most tedious underwriting work, and let you retain full control of the deal.”
Pathway also extends beyond core parsing. The platform includes information on UCC filings, AI-powered business research, custom Gmail forwarding, and white-labeled deployment options. Every feature is backed by enterprise-grade security—including Okta-powered authentication, full audit trails on every file, and flexible deployment to AWS, Google Cloud, or Azure.
Highlights of Pathway’s capabilities include:
- Statement Parsing & Reconciliation — Transactions, balances, and metadata reconciled to the penny, with anomalies flagged for audit-ready confidence.
- Auto-Decisioning — Configurable rules that can instantly approve or deny deals.
- Scalability — Support for teams of all sizes with no drop in output quality.
- CRM & Email Pipeline Sync — Push clean data directly into existing pipelines and
track deals without breaking workflow.
Already, Pathway underwrites 100M+ USD of monthly recurring revenue for SMBs across North America.

BHG Financial Had a Strong Second Quarter
BHG Financial had loan originations of $1.5B in the 2nd quarter of 2025, up from 1.2B YoY. The company is 49% owned by Pinnacle Bank.
The company’s trending 30-day commercial past-due rate has been hovering at around 4% since the same time last year while past-due rates on their consumer loans have been in a consistent decline since Summer 2023.
During the Q2 earnings call, Pinnacle CFO Harold Carpenter, said that both production and credit growth have been good this year.
“I think credit has really been the bigger surprise for the year,” said Carpenter, “and we feel like that it looks like it’s pivoted and hopefully, it will continue to pivot.”
BHG primarily serves as a full-service commercial loan provider to healthcare providers and other skilled professionals for business purposes but also makes consumer loans for various purposes.
View PostFrom the CERN Large Hadron Collider to Funding Working Capital Loans to SMBs
When deBanked stumbled upon a scoop that DoorDash had begun offering merchant cash advances in late 2021, the tech and financing team behind it had not been on anyone’s radar. That company was Parafin which at the time appeared to be a startup comprised of former Robinhood engineers. But the backstory is a bit more wild because its CEO and Co-founder Sahill Poddar previously worked on getting his PhD by discovering the Higgs boson particle at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider. His credentials include a Doctorate (summa cum laude) in Particle Physics at European Council for Nuclear Research (CERN), Geneva, Switzerland and before that he was a Visiting Researcher for the Max-Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics in Germany. But today, at Parafin, his company makes $10 billion in funding offers to small businesses EACH DAY. The company has now funded more than 30,000 businesses since inception.
Turner Novak at The Peel secured Poddar as a guest on how Parafin came to be and it’s a must watch.
