Careers At Boss Insights
Get ready to teach, to learn and to do the best work of your life
We are located in the heart of downtown Toronto, Canada – North America’s fastest-growing technology hub.
What is Boss Insights?
Boss Insights’ platform digitizes lending to grow relationships between banks and their business clients. Thanks to Amazon style advancement, there is a growing divide between lenders’ service and businesses’ expectations. Banks excel in regulation, however, operate with limited information on their business clients (out of date and gathered manually). Boss Insights’ API hub empowers lenders to bridge the divide. APIs are the most efficient way to digitize existing processes enabling accelerated service and a complete view in real-time. The platform is used to accelerate SBA, SMB and Commercial Lending from months to minutes. It also supports cross-selling products empowering banks and credit unions to proactively serve customers.
