MT Intelligence
The domain has been active since 2013 and is operated by a registered New York-based LLC. Our analysis confirms the company holds an NMLS license and is an accredited business with an A+ rating from independent consumer organizations. The site uses high-quality, custom infrastructure and integrates with major payroll and benefits platforms like Alight and Mercer. While some negative consumer feedback exists regarding loan approval processes, these are typical for the lending industry and do not indicate fraudulent intent. The presence of venture capital backing and partnerships with government entities further confirms its legitimacy.

Still, stay alert
No major threat indicators — but a clean scan does not guarantee every page is safe, and phishing emails routinely spoof real domains.
- Double-check the exact URL in your address bar
Confirm you are actually on kashable.com and not a lookalike like k-ashable.com.com or an IDN homoglyph.
- Use a password manager
Password managers only auto-fill on the exact domain they were saved for — they refuse to fill lookalike domains, which is the single best phishing defence.
