Casca, a Stanford-founded fintech startup, has raised $29 million in a Series A funding round to advance its AI-native loan origination platform. Launched just 15 months ago, Casca's technology automates 90% of manual loan processing efforts, enabling commercial loans to be funded up to 10 times faster than other fintech companies and 30 times faster than traditional industry averages. The platform is designed to disrupt legacy lending systems by significantly reducing the time required to process commercial loans. Separately, Infosys has partnered with Uniting Financial Services in Australia to deploy its Finacle Digital Banking Suite on the AWS cloud, aiming to modernize digital banking within five months.
