Overview
With over 18 years of experience in delivering research and analytics services, Acuity Knowledge Partners (Acuity) has built a robust and sustainable ecosystem of people, process and technology. Acuity has strong credentials within the corporate and commercial banking space, supporting banks across the lending value chain (KYC, origination, underwriting, monitoring and operations), helping them centralise, standardise and digitise processes.
With digitisation initiatives specially designed to automate parts of the credit analysis function, coupled with the flexibility to choose from different engagement models, we enable financial institutions scale their lending operations while remaining client and risk-focused. As business/operational uncertainty increases, Acuity’s lending service offerings can help banks simplify lending, improve speed to market and make better credit decisions.

Customer Testimonials
Acuity family – Thank you so very much for all your hard work and dedication during this time. The swell of this pandemic has shrunk our vast globe, as we collectively experience the impact of the wave. We could not manage the needs of our clients during this time without your support, and we are very thankful to have you as part of the team.
Middle Market Credit Campus Leader
Leading US Regional Bank
We think the support from the Acuity team was fundamental in the completion of the project. Their contribution related to the creation of the covenant structures was crucial for the success of the project. Also, eventually taking over the approval of covenant structures helped us speed up the approval process. We really appreciate all the hard work of the team and their flexibility, especially with regards to their working hours.
