Clutch

Clutch (withclutch.com) is a US fintech that builds digital origination and lending automation software exclusively for credit unions. The platform spans consumer loan origination, deposit and business account opening, an omnichannel banker workstation (Fulfillment), an automated decisioning engine (Fastlane), targeted remarketing, data insights, and AI assistants — HAL for lending and Emma for collections — packaged as the Clutch Lending Automation System (LAS). Clutch integrates with credit union cores, loan origination systems such as MeridianLink Consumer LOS (LoansPQ), digital banking platforms and decisioning vendors, and reports powering origination for roughly 150 credit unions including six of the ten largest in the United States. Its customer-facing data surface is a File Transfer API and SFTP delivery for daily CSV exports covering lending, account opening, funding, NACHA and HAL conversation datasets; the API reference itself sits behind the customer support login.

Clutch publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Credit Unions, Lending, Loan Origination, and Account Opening.

Clutch’s developer surface includes documentation, support, engineering blog, and 16 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Banking & Open Finance 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.
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/.

  description: Clutch delivers daily origination datasets to credit union customers over either SFTP or a File Transfer API.
    The public knowledge base documents the datasets (lending, account opening, funding, NACHA, HAL), their field-level data
    dictionaries, the CSV format (pipe-delimited, double-quoted) and the 11:00 UTC daily generation cadence with one-week
    retention. The File Transfer API reference article itself requires a customer support login, so no base URL, authentication
    scheme or endpoint list is publicly readable and no machine-readable spec is published.

  detail: Clutch's public knowledge base documents a File Transfer API and publishes full field dictionaries for its five
    daily data exports, but the File Transfer API reference article itself 302s to the Freshdesk customer login (error=login_required),
    so no base URL, authentication scheme, endpoint list or machine-readable spec is publicly readable.
