Nav

Nav Technologies, Inc. is a US financial-technology company (not a bank) that gives small business owners one place to see their business and personal credit, cash-flow health and funding eligibility, then matches them to a marketplace of financing and business credit card offers. Consumer-facing products are Nav Prime (business credit building with tradelines, five bureau scores from D&B, Experian, Equifax and TransUnion, bookkeeping and a FICO SBSS score), the Nav Credit Builder Card and a mobile app. The developer surface is the Nav Partner API — a REST API at api.nav.com used by embedded-finance platforms to create Nav accounts, change plans, end a partner relationship, resolve bureau credit visibility and mint single-use SSO tokens — together with the @navinc/widget-sdk embeddable widget SDK, which renders Nav business-credit UI inside a partner's own application as the custom element. Access is partner-gated: API keys are issued during onboarding and there is no self-serve developer signup.

Nav publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Business Credit, Small Business, Financial Services, Embedded Finance, and Lending.

Nav’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, engineering blog, pricing, signup flow, and 24 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Horizontal (data, software, accessibility, platform) regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.

The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/nav: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
