Strengths

  • Zero NSFs in the analysis window — clean banking behavior.
  • No existing MCA positions — clean slate for a new funder.

Sample output

Every grade tells the full story.

Not just a score — a complete underwriting picture. Three scoring pillars, component-level transparency, MCA stack detail, and a plain-English summary written for the broker, not the model.

  • Revenue Quality — deposits, consistency, trend, concentration
  • Owner Trust Signal — NSF history, negative days, DataMerch record
  • Cash Flow Capacity — leverage %, balance floor, stacking depth

Component-level scores tell you exactly where a deal breaks. A merchant with strong Revenue Quality but a failed Owner Trust Signal is a very different risk from one with weak revenue across the board — and the two require completely different conversations with the ISO.

How it works

From upload to grade in three steps.

01

Upload the file

Drop a ZIP package of bank statements — batches or single merchants. MerchGrade handles PDFs, scanned images, and mixed formats.

Batch grading matters because deals come in as packages. Upload 12 merchants at once and get back 12 organized, comparable grades — no reformatting, no file sorting.

02

AI reads the statements

The pipeline extracts every transaction, identifies MCA positions and funder names, calculates leverage, and detects fast-stacking patterns.

MCA positions buried mid-statement — especially same-week advances from different funders — are exactly what manual review misses. The pipeline surfaces them all, with funder names and pull amounts attached.

03

Grade delivered

An A–F fundability score, estimated approval range, pillar-by-pillar breakdown, and a plain-English underwriting summary — ready to share.

The approval range is derived from the merchant's actual cash flow and existing debt load, not a rule of thumb. You know whether to submit before you pick up the phone.

The problem we solve

Manual review is the bottleneck.

The average MCA broker spends 45–60 minutes reviewing a single merchant file. Most of those files aren't fundable. MerchGrade eliminates that wasted time.

If only 1 in 5 leads closes, and each one takes an hour to review, you're spending 80% of your underwriting time on files that were never going to fund. MerchGrade gives that time back — spent only on files worth submitting.

Before MerchGrade

  • Most reviewed files never close
