History
Originally established in 1993 under the name SRR Solutions by Northeastern University professor Venkat Srinivasan,[1] the company initially focused on developing credit and collections software. After securing substantial venture capital funding, it experimented with an online B2B debt exchange platform and underwent a rebranding to eCredit in 1998. In December 2006, a consortium of investors including Fidelity Ventures, Battery Ventures, and CIBC purchased the firm. The business adopted the name Cortera in early 2008.[2]
In 2021, Moody's Analytics completed its acquisition of Cortera.[3]
