About the event
What is FinovateSpring 2026?
FinovateSpring is the West Coast's leading fintech event. It pulls in 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 was 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 was on-site all three days for 1:1 working sessions. If you want to walk through a real deal packet on your own data, the next event is the place to book a slot.
Hotel: Discounted attendee rate at the Sheraton. Book through the official FinovateSpring hotel block.

Aloan at FinovateSpring
How we showed up at the show
-
01
Live Demo on Stage
We ran our seven-minute live demo on the Finovate stage. The walk-through covered a real commercial deal packet, from document intake to examiner-ready credit memo, in front of the entire audience.
-
02
1:1 Working Sessions
Private working sessions with the team across all three days. Attendees brought real tax return packets and deal files, and we spread them live so they could see Aloan run on actual data.
-
03
On-the-Floor Conversations
Conference floor time filled up fast. Most of the deepest conversations happened away from the booth, in scheduled time with founders and on the sidelines of the demo blocks.
What Aloan is showing on stage
End-to-end AI commercial loan underwriting in seven minutes
The Finovate format is seven minutes, no slides. That is exactly how long Aloan takes to run a real commercial deal packet from analyst inbox to examiner-ready credit memo. The on-stage walk-through covers:
- 01
Document intake and classification
Tax returns, bank statements, financials, rent rolls, K-1s. Aloan tags each by type, year, and entity.
- 02
Spreading with source citations
Every number clicks back to the exact page. That's the audit trail SR 11-7 and OCC 2025-26 examiners now expect.
- 03
Multi-entity consolidation, global cash flow
K-1 tracing, Schedule E reconciliation, entity graph and global cash flow rollup. No Excel handoff.
- 04
Risk flags and policy checks
Revenue trend inversions, NSFs, UCC liens, covenant breaches, concentration risks, policy exceptions.
- 05
Examiner-ready credit memo
Borrower overview, financial analysis, risk factors, mitigants, recommendation. Every figure cites back to source. LOS hand-off, not re-keying.
