Corporate Member Associate Member Technology Renaissance Asset Finance selects verifi for virtual asset inspections Published: 31st December 2025 Share verifi has announced a new partnership with Renaissance Asset Finance, a UK provider of bespoke asset finance solutions for high-net-worth individuals and SMEs. As part of the collaboration, Renaissance has adopted verifi’s virtual asset inspection platform to enhance efficiency, risk management and visibility across the full asset finance lifecycle. The partnership sees Renaissance deploying verifi’s technology beyond new business origination, using it as a comprehensive tool for in-life asset inspections as well as collections and recoveries. This multi-stage rollout supports Renaissance’s commitment to maintaining robust operational frameworks that protect risk while preserving its relationship-led approach to client service. By integrating verifi’s self-certifi virtual inspection solution, Renaissance can now manage assets remotely throughout the lifecycle of a finance agreement. The platform supports faster decision-making at origination, enables routine in-life condition checks without the need for site visits, and provides trusted evidence of asset condition and location during collections or recovery activity. Using a single digital solution across these stages gives Renaissance a clearer view of asset risk, improves speed and agility, and reduces reliance on traditional inspections. This streamlined approach also minimises disruption for brokers and customers, allowing Renaissance to maintain its relationship-led service while strengthening operational controls. “Renaissance understands that a prudent approach to asset security isn’t just about the day the deal is signed. It’s about having visibility throughout the finance lifecycle,” said Jonathan Garnett, co-founder of verifi. “We are delighted that Renaissance has chosen to deploy verifi across their entire operation—from new business to collections. This holistic approach allows them to maintain their high-touch, relationship-led service while using our technology to silently and effectively manage risk in the background. Its been a pleasure to work with the Renaissance team during onboarding and we very much look forward to developing a long-standing partnership in the years to come.” Mark Lester, Managing Director at Renaissance Asset Finance, added: “Renaissance is committed to innovation and continuous improvement, that is what this new partnership with verifi embodies. “Their self-certifi tool will enable much faster audits and will significantly cut down the amount of time an audit can sometimes take, due to geographical issues for example. This allows us to meet our Risk Appetite whilst causing minimum disturbance to our customers. We look forward to our new partnership with verifi.” Corporate Member Renaissance Asset Finance Renaissance Asset Finance (RAF) is the asset finance subsidiary of Arbuthnot Latham, the private and commercial bank.
