We are 9fin
The AI-native intelligence platform for modern credit teams.
Clarity for complex markets
Behind every loan, bond, or restructuring is a team making high-stakes decisions — navigating information that's never been more complex or more critical.
We built 9fin to cut through that complexity. By bringing data, news, and AI workflows together in one platform, we give credit teams a clearer view of the market and the confidence to make faster, smarter decisions.
Building the AI platform debt markets deserve
Why are billion-dollar decisions made with 1980s technology?
Earlier in their careers, 9fin's co-founders Steven and Huss worked inside the world's largest investment banks, watching teams plan and execute billion-dollar credit deals using tools built decades ago. Spreadsheets, PDFs, even fax machines.
The credit industry’s infrastructure was decades out of date.
So in 2016, Steven and Huss quit their jobs to build 9fin.

AI-powered data extraction at scale
When they applied to Google's AI residency in 2016, they summed up their idea in three words: "AI-powered financial data."
Their thesis was that credit's biggest bottleneck wasn't lack of information — it was that no one could process it at scale.
So they engineered technology that could read these complex documents automatically, extracting terms like covenants and pricing — and mapping the relationships between them — at speed.
