Business Wire IndiaMoody’s Corporation (NYSE:MCO) announced today that it has acquired Numerated Growth Technologies (Numerated), a loan origination platform for financial institutions. The transaction further expands Moody’s Lending Suite capabilities across the credit lifecycle, providing banking customers with a powerful end-to-end loan origination and monitoring solution.
The acquisition builds on a partnership announced in January 2024 that integrated Numerated’s front office, decisioning, and loan operation technologies with Moody’s credit assessment, underwriting, and monitoring expertise. Numerated will be integrated into Moody’s Lending Suite, creating a full loan origination workflow.
“As our banking customers undergo digital transformation programs to enhance their user experience, automate processes, and provide their front office functions with more data, they’re looking for a credible end-to-end lending solution,” said Rob Fauber, President and Chief Executive Officer of Moody’s. “By bringing Numerated and its technology and expertise in-house, we’ll accelerate our Lending Suite capabilities to equip customers across asset classes with more of our industry-leading risk data and analytical solutions.”
Numerated uses data and artificial intelligence to streamline and enhance bank lending – improving the application, decision-making, and closing processes through enhanced data integrity. Financial institutions with a combined $3 trillion in assets use Numerated, and since its inception, over 500,000 businesses and 30,000 financial institution associates have used its platform to process over $65 billion in lending.
The terms of the transaction were not disclosed, and it is not expected to have a material impact on Moody’s 2024 financial results.

Stockholders and investors are cautioned that the occurrence of any of these factors, risks and uncertainties may cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from those contemplated, expressed, projected, anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements, which could have a material and adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition. New factors may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for the Company to predict new factors, nor can the Company assess the potential effect of any new factors on it.
