Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - June 23, 2025) - Inverite Insights Inc. (CSE: INVR) (OTC Pink: INVRD) (FSE: 2V00) ("Inverite" or the "Company"), Canada's first standalone AI-driven credit assessment platform that uses comprehensive financial data to make smarter, faster, and more inclusive lending decisions, is pleased to announce two transformative partnerships to accelerate the Company's growth trajectory following record-breaking performance that saw May 2025 mark the highest revenue month in Company history.
Unlike traditional credit scoring systems that rely on limited credit bureau data, Inverite's next-generation platform analyzes real-time financial behavior patterns to unlock lending opportunities for Canada's 12 million financially underserved but financially capable consumers. These partnerships will strengthen Inverite's mission to revolutionize credit assessment while capitalizing on the rapidly expanding alternative lending market.
Partnership with 108 Securities Inc.
Inverite has entered into a comprehensive partnership with 108 Securities Inc., an independent boutique investment bank with strong Equity Capital Markets capabilities. Under this strategic alliance, 108 Securities will provide:

- Comprehensive Corporate Development Consultancy services to strengthen stakeholder communications and strategic positioning
- Access to The Investor Coliseum, a digital investor relations platform, expanding Inverite's reach within this community
"Our firm was attracted to Inverite based on the depth and caliber of the management and leadership team, the quality of their product-market fit, and the broader addressable 'underbanked' market where they can capture a meaningful stake in one of the fastest-growing fintech sectors across North America," said Michael Crowley, President of 108 Securities. "Technology continues to reshape where we work and how we earn our livings, and with governments introducing specific legislation to implement open banking-consumer-driven banking that allows Canadians to share their financial data with third parties beyond traditional banks, enormous opportunities are emerging. This regulatory shift enables workers in the gig economy to access credit that may be inaccessible through traditional legacy credit rating platforms."

Inverite has also partnered with PRVN Creative Inc., a creative solutions provider that delivers top-tier talent through intensive sprint-based engagements. This unique partnership will provide Inverite and 108 Securities' portfolio companies with unprecedented access to expertise typically reserved for Fortune 500 companies and North America's top consumer-facing brands.
PRVN's roster of top strategic and creative professionals across North America represents a disruptive force in both the private and public company communities, addressing critical gaps in:
- Strategic communication expertise spanning corporate communications, internal alignment, and customer engagement initiatives that drive revenue growth
- Market and consumer research capabilities often reserved for North America's top consumer-facing brands
- Business strategy and consulting services from industry veterans with decades of C-Suite experience
- Creative platform development that differentiates companies in competitive markets
"Access to world-class creative talent has traditionally been a barrier for emerging companies," said Jay Bertram, Managing Partner at PRVN and Chief Marketing Officer at 108 Securities. "This partnership ensures that innovative companies can compete on equal footing with established players when it comes to market positioning and brand development."
Strategic Value Creation
These partnerships position Inverite at the centre of an integrated ecosystem designed to accelerate growth for innovative financial technology companies. The combination of 108's capital markets expertise and PRVN's creative capabilities creates a unique value proposition that addresses both the financial and communication challenges facing growth-stage companies.
"We're not just adding service providers-we're building a strategic alliance that fundamentally changes how we approach market expansion," added Nanji. "Having access to both institutional-grade financial advisory services and top-tier marketing talent gives us a competitive advantage that extends far beyond traditional vendor relationships."
Market Timing and Unprecedented Opportunity
This announcement comes as Inverite continues to demonstrate strong momentum, having recently achieved record revenue and transaction volumes. The Company's proprietary credit assessment platform is increasingly being recognized by the alternative credit industry that services more than 78M non-prime, underbanked and credit-invisible consumers representing a Total Addressable Market ("TAM") in excess of $239B, as critical infrastructure for North America's alternative credit market, helping lenders dramatically reduce default rates while expanding access to these consumers.
The timing could not be better. As demonstrated by recent fintech success stories like Chime Financial Inc. (NASDAQ: CHYM)—which has recently completed their IPO at an $11.2 billion valuation by serving 8.6 million underbanked customers in the U.S.—the market for inclusive financial services is experiencing explosive growth. Inverite is positioned to capture significant value in Canada's equivalent market by solving the fundamental challenge that has prevented broader financial inclusion: accurate credit assessment of non-traditional borrowers.
The non-prime credit market is rapidly expanding. While conventional credit bureaus rely on limited historical data that often results in automatic rejections for gig workers, newcomers, and consumers with thin credit files, Inverite's AI-driven platform analyzes comprehensive real-time data through open banking frameworks to provide credit assessment decisions. Essentially, Inverite enables lenders to confidently say 'YES' to loan applications that legacy credit platforms would automatically reject, unlocking a multi-billion-dollar market of creditworthy but underserved consumers.
These partnerships position Inverite to capitalize on the convergence of open banking, AI-driven risk assessment, and embedded finance solutions that are transforming the Canadian financial services landscape. By providing lenders with a comprehensive alternative to traditional credit scoring, Inverite enables the kind of inclusive financial products that are driving billion-dollar valuations in the fintech sector.
