IncomeVerify

IncomeVerify is a D+H solution that assesses the strength of a self-employed borrower’s earnings. It’s an automated adjudication program that helps financial services organizations grow share, not risk. And all you need to get started is internet access and a web browser.

How does IncomeVerify work?

A significant and growing segment of the working and borrowing population is self-employed. They’re a target market too big for bankers to overlook, yet they can be difficult and time-consuming to assess. The IncomeVerify application was designed around the premise that one of the keys to increasing a Financial Institution’s revenue, without incurring an unacceptable level of risk, is to confidently assess each applicant’s capacity to repay. So when IncomeVerify performs an evaluation, it applies discounting factors to volatile income components, and tests data that appears outside of expected norms.

  • Provides extensive selection for data input, i.e. sources of income, borrower income confirmations, business stability info, etc.
  • Standardization of inputs allows for consistent scoring
  • User-friendly worksheet that incorporates extensive behind the scenes underwriting analytics
