New York, NY (PRUnderground) July 29, 2026Bloom Credit, a financial data infrastructure company, today announced it has been named a finalist for the 2026 Finovate Awards in the Best Embedded Finance Solution category. The recognition centers on Bloom+, Bloom Credit's consumer permissioned data (CPD) platform that helps financial institutions turn everyday payment activity into credit building tradelines. Bloom Credit is one of a small group of companies recognized as finalists across the Finovate Awards' banking, fintech and payments categories this year. “At Bloom Credit, we built Bloom+ because too many creditworthy people are invisible to the traditional scoring system,” said Christian Widhalm, CEO of Bloom Credit. Following the initial launch of Bloom+ with Inspire Federal Credit Union, the company added Navy Federal Credit Union, the nation's largest credit union, and Suncoast Credit Union, a top 10 U.S. credit union.
