Cortera

Cortera was a business (trade) credit data provider that turned anonymized, contributed accounts-receivable and B2B payment data into forward-looking payment-risk insight, credit scores, and firmographics on private companies so credit teams could spot changes in a customer's financial health. Founded in Massachusetts, Cortera was acquired by Moody's (Moody's Analytics) in 2021 and its product line has since been folded into Moody's Company Reference Data / Trade Credit offering, marketed as "Moody's Pulse (formerly Cortera)". The standalone cortera.com domain now 301-redirects to Moody's; there is no independent Cortera developer portal or public self-serve API today — data is delivered through Moody's data-delivery APIs, CRM/ERP connectors, and file feeds. This profile was surfaced as a Battery Ventures portfolio company and is retained as an acquired-company record.

Cortera is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Business Credit, Trade Credit, Credit Risk, and B2B Payments Data.
