About the event
What is FinovateSpring 2026?
FinovateSpring is the West Coast's leading fintech event — 1,200+ senior-level decision-makers, 600+ leaders from banks, credit unions, and financial institutions, and 150+ community banks and credit unions in the room. The format is famous: 50+ live seven-minute demos, no slides, followed by four tracks of deep-dive sessions across payments, lending, open finance, and security.
Aloan is one of the 50+ fintech companies selected to demo live on the Finovate stage. If you run credit, underwriting, lending operations, or technology at a bank or credit union, this is the single best venue in 2026 to see AI commercial loan underwriting automation end-to-end — document intake, classification, financial spreading, risk flags, and credit memo generation, all in seven minutes.
Our team will be on-site all three days for 1:1 working sessions. If you want to walk through a real deal packet on your own data, book a slot in advance — calendars fill up quickly at these events.

Meet Aloan at FinovateSpring
Three ways to connect on-site
If you run credit, underwriting operations, or lending technology at a bank or credit union, these are the three ways to use us well at FinovateSpring.
01
Live Demo on Stage
Catch our seven-minute live demo on the Finovate stage — we'll walk through a real commercial deal packet, from document intake to examiner-ready credit memo, in front of the entire audience.
02
1:1 Working Sessions
Book a private working session with our team. Bring a real tax return packet or deal file and we'll spread it live so you can see Aloan run on your actual files.
03
Schedule Ahead
Conference floor time fills up fast. Reserve a slot before the event so you get uninterrupted time with a founder rather than waiting at the booth.
What Aloan is showing
End-to-end AI commercial loan underwriting, in seven minutes
The Finovate demo format is seven minutes with no slides. That is exactly how long it takes Aloan to run a real commercial deal packet from the analyst's inbox to an examiner-ready credit memo. Here is what the on-stage walk-through covers:
- 1
Document intake and classification
A raw packet lands — tax returns, bank statements, financial statements, rent rolls, PFS, K-1s. Aloan identifies each document, tags it by type and year, and matches it to the correct borrower, guarantor, or related entity. No manual sorting.
- 2
Automated financial spreading with source citations
Financials are spread into the bank's template. Every number clicks back to the exact page and line item of the source document — the examiner-ready audit trail examiners now expect under SR 11-7 and OCC 2025-26.
- 3
Multi-entity consolidation and global cash flow
Tiered partnerships, K-1 tracing across entities, Schedule E reconciliation. The entity graph is built automatically and the global cash flow rollup is produced without an analyst exporting to Excel.
- 4
Risk flags and policy checks
Revenue trend inversions, high NSF activity, UCC lien hits, covenant breaches, concentration risks, and policy exceptions are surfaced before the analyst hunts for them.
- 5
Examiner-ready credit memo
A complete credit memo assembles itself — borrower overview, financial analysis, risk factors, mitigants, recommendation — every figure cited back to source. Hand-off to the LOS is the last step, not a re-keying exercise.

Yes. Conference schedules fill up quickly, so we recommend booking a 1:1 working session ahead of the event.
