Camino Financial is a Los Angeles-based financial services firm that uses artificial intelligence to underwrite and place small-business loans. The platform targets entrepreneurs who are often underserved by traditional lenders, including those with limited credit histories and cash-heavy business models. It partners with financial institutions, public agencies, and mission-aligned organizations to pool funding and provide educational resources to these entrepreneurs. Loans are structured to be affordable and to support upward mobility, with the intention of expanding borrowers' access to additional credit and wealth-building tools over time. In September 2023, Camino Financial announced a merger with Fundation Group, a tech-enabled lender focused on small- and mid-sized businesses, expanding its presence in the SMB lending landscape.
