Credexia - THE OPERATING SYSTEM FOR LOANS
INSPIRATION
We analyzed the Loan Market Association ecosystem — tools like LMA Automate for drafting and trading platforms like Octaura for price discovery — and identified a massive white space in between.
While banks can agree on trades and sign loans digitally, post-closing servicing and settlement are still stuck in the Stone Age:
- Fragmented Excel sheets
- Endless email chains
- Manual data re-entry
- Broken reconciliation
Liquidity is not blocked by lack of capital. It is blocked by operational friction.
Our goal: Build the Operating System for Loans — a unified platform connecting covenant monitoring, trade settlement, and cash distribution in real time.
WHAT Credexia DOES
Credexia is a unified desktop platform covering three critical loan lifecycle stages in one dashboard.
Credexia - MONITORING
- Tracks Financial covenants (Debt / EBITDA)
- Tracks ESG covenants (Carbon Emissions)
- Users upload a PDF financial report
- AI extracts values and calculates compliance
Traffic Light System:
Green = Safe Amber = Warning Red = Breach
Auto-Pricing: If an ESG covenant is breached, the interest rate is automatically adjusted according to loan terms.
TRADECLEAR - SETTLEMENT
- Digitizes transfer of loan ownership
- Users upload a Notice of Assignment PDF
- AI extracts Seller, Buyer, and Trade Amount
- After approval, the Ownership Register updates instantly
- Removes manual ledger updates entirely
AGENTFLOW - CASH DISTRIBUTION
- Automates the Payment Waterfall
- Distributes borrower payments across lender banks
- Enforces zero rounding error
- Any remainder goes to the Agent Bank
- Generates SWIFT-ready CSV in seconds
GLOBAL STATE
All three modules share a Global State.
If ownership changes in TradeClear, AgentFlow instantly reflects the new owner without a page reload.
HOW WE BUILT IT
Frontend: Next.js (App Router) Backend: Supabase (Database + Storage)
AI Layer:
- Gemini API with 4-tier fallback: Gemini 2.5 Flash Gemini 2.5 Pro Gemini 1.5 Flash Gemini 1.5 Pro
- OCR.space as raw text backup
- Confidence Gate: if below 60%, user must confirm
Logic Layer:
- All business logic implemented as pure functions
- Deterministic outputs
- Payment Waterfall guarantees Sum(Shares) = Total Cash
Blockchain Layer:
- Polygon Amoy Testnet
- SHA-256 covenant sealing
- Demo Mode using FNV-1a hash simulation when network fails
State Management:
- In-memory global singleton: global.__tradeState
- Prevents loss during Next.js hot reload
CHALLENGES
Private Key Fiasco: .env key had an extra character. Ethereum keys must be exactly 64 hex characters.
OCR Reality: Messy financial tables broke OCR. Solution: Demo-friendly PDFs + confidence gating.
Schema Drift: Frontend expected fields that did not exist in Supabase. Frontend adapted to database instead of migrating DB mid-hackathon.
Floating Point Errors: Solved by rounding strictly at final step and assigning remainder to Agent Bank.
Model Name Confusion: Incorrect Gemini model names caused 404 errors. Solved with retry fallback system.
WHO THIS IS FOR (User Base)
Credexia serves:
- Credit Risk Analysts
- Loan Agency Teams
- Syndicated Loan Traders
- Treasury Operations
- ESG Compliance Teams
- Audit & Regulatory Teams
And eventually:
- Rating agencies

ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Zero-Variance Payment Waterfall Engine: Handles fractional splits and guarantees perfect totals.
Traffic Light UI: Instant risk visibility across 50+ loans.
Honest Error Handling: No silent failures. Users see real confidence and validation errors.
Resilient Architecture: App never crashes during demo regardless of API failure.
Unified State: Trade settlement instantly updates cash distribution.
BUSINESS MODEL (Monetization)
Credexia can monetize via:
- Per-loan subscription
- Per-document processing
- Per-settlement fee
- Compliance enterprise licenses
- ESG pricing modules
- Audit trail services
This is not a consumer SaaS. This is institutional infrastructure.
WHAT WE LEARNED
- The last mile in fintech is process, not math.
- AI needs guardrails.
- Simulation beats broken reality.
- Finance demands deterministic precision.
