Metro Finance, an Australian commercial non-bank lender focused on asset finance, deployed Affinda Extract for settlement document automation, Affinda said in a customer story dated 19 October 2026.
Rising settlement volumes had driven manual document-review pressure on turnaround and broker service. Affinda Extract splits and classifies settlement documents, then extracts and validates data within Metro's existing systems and regulatory requirements so settlement teams are not re-keying fields under peak load. The lender framed the goal as keeping high-touch broker service and lending accuracy while removing a document bottleneck rather than adding AI for its own sake.
Results claimed include more than 3,700 deals processed with 97.5% passing validation, nearly 80,000 fields extracted and checked, and near-instant settlement for some introducers and customers — positioned as capacity for growth without losing lending accuracy or broker service levels. The deployment is a named non-bank lending client with hard throughput metrics rather than an award or event card. Deal counts and validation rates are vendor and customer claims and have not been independently verified by AI-360.
