OUR STORY
We started Crux because we believe in the power of small business. We have experienced first-hand the challenges owners face and understand the role they serve in our lives and our economy. We have seen the current systems driving small business banking fall short for both owners and financial institutions. Small businesses need access to relevant, quality banking services to thrive. Financial institutions want to be able to engage more with small businesses, who are loyal, valuable, long-term depositors. Crux is bridging the gap.
OUR VISION
Our vision is to empower small business teams within financial institutions by providing better tools to more effectively and efficiently find and engage with small businesses. By providing hyper-local analysis and immediately actionable insights into the external market drivers of risk and opportunity, we help small business teams engage with owners on their terms and with complete context. Increased visibility enables faster and more accurate decisions, reduce risk, increase profitability and sustainable growth for small business practices.
OUR TECHNOLOGY
When deployed, Crux retrieves the most relevant, up-to-date data, contextualized it into easy-to-understand information, and drives immediately actionable insights based on quantifiable risk and opportunity. No two small businesses are the same, and Crux is the only platform able to give a complete picture and accurate context regardless of whether a business is brand new or over a decade old. Crux dynamically tailors its platform to best align with each financial institution's existing portfolio of small businesses and its segment growth goals.
