verifi partners with Cynergy Business Finance to power its "Human Digital" Lending Strategy

MON 26th January 2026

Cynergy Business Finance has selected verifi’s virtual inspection platform to deliver "speed and surety" for its UK asset-based lending operations.

We are proud to announce that Cynergy Business Finance (CBF), the specialist asset-based lending arm of Cynergy Bank, has adopted verifi’s virtual asset inspection platform.

This partnership is a direct application of Cynergy’s unique "Human Digital" strategy. By blending the latest digital technology with expert relationship management, CBF aims to provide a service that is both "high tech and high touch".

High Tech Speed, High Touch Service

Cynergy Business Finance supports UK SMEs by funding against a wide range of assets, including plant, machinery, and inventory. Traditionally, verifying these assets required time-consuming “touch metal” inspections that could slow down funding.

By integrating verifi’s self-certifi inspection platform into its processes, CBF empowers its customers, intermediaries, and supplying dealers in the funding chain to conduct their own asset inspections in minutes. This digital efficiency frees up CBF’s expert team to focus on what they do best: building strong, supportive relationships with their clients.

Surety in a Digital World

For a bank that prioritizes "speed and surety", security is non-negotiable. The partnership includes the deployment of spuuf, verifi’s proprietary "silent hand" technology. spuuf operates in the background to instantly validate the authenticity of every image, ensuring that CBF can offer rapid digital experiences without compromising on risk protection.

Jonathan Garnett, verifi co-founder, commented:

"Cynergy’s 'Human Digital' philosophy fits very well with why we built the verifi platform. We believe technology shouldn't replace the relationship manager; it should be a tool to drive efficiencies and better outcomes. By removing the friction of physical inspections, we are helping Cynergy Business Finance deliver the instant funding decisions their clients need, while their team focuses on the strategic support that algorithms can't provide."

Edward Winterton, Managing Director at Cynergy Business Finance, shares:

"Our mission is to reduce complexity in business finance and to better serve the personal needs of business owners. By integrating verifi’s platform, we are using automation to provide a more efficient, customer-centric lending experience. This supports our ‘Human Digital’ approach perfectly. Delivering the speed and ease our clients expect, while freeing our team to focus on building the outstanding client relationships that drive sustainable growth."
