Tax Guard and Casca have announced a partnership to integrate verified IRS tax data into Casca's AI lending platform, enabling faster and more secure loan processing for banks and lenders.

Tax Guard and Cascading AI, Inc. announced a partnership to integrate verified IRS tax data into Casca's AI lending platform, according to a press release. The collaboration aims to help lenders automate more of the loan origination process while maintaining strict due diligence and fraud controls.

The integration enables lenders to access verified IRS tax transcripts directly within Casca's automated workflow. This combination of verified data and AI automation allows banks to process loans up to thirty times faster than industry averages while reducing manual work.

Casca, founded in 2023 and backed by investors including Y Combinator and Canapi Ventures, provides an AI platform for commercial and small business lending. Tax Guard, a Cogency Global company, supplies real time IRS tax data services used to assess creditworthiness and fraud risk.

By combining Tax Guard's verified data with Casca's automated decisioning, lenders can make faster and more informed credit decisions while improving efficiency across the loan origination lifecycle.
