Dear Clayton,
We are focused on making the document part of the mortgage process quicker, better and more secure. Our mission is to reduce the number of documents you ask for and the time spent chasing them, by making it easier for consumers to share their data digitally. By enabling you to obtain data instantly we can empower you to make better decisions, faster.
Our system has been built for the mortgage market and does not require complex changes to existing systems or processes. Instead, it expands on the established process of accepting filtered bank statements as evidence of certain incomes and expenditures.
Thank you for expressing your interest in collaborating with us. This proposal will provide you with insights into our capabilities and how we can be of assistance.
Many Thanks,
Luke Saint

Statements & documents
In order to verify income and outgoings, most lenders will usually ask for a variety of documents. Frequently, time is spent chasing and waiting for this information and as a result, offers are delayed, underwriters' time is wasted, and originating costs are increased.
Online statements, like bank statemens can be difficult to download in the correct format, especially on mobile devices
Paper statements are frequently lost or shredded. Replacements take time to arrive
Not everyone has a scanner. Photographs of documents can be unclear, take time to piece together and miss key details
Reduce hassle and wasted time. Instantly and securely verify a person's income or outgoings with data directly from their bank.

Win-Win Broker/Lender
Built for the mortage market
In the intermediary mortgage market brokers will obtain documents on behalf of a lender but also for their own compliance and to give advice. Often, a mortgage can only be arranged with the help of both lenders and brokers.
This is why we built a system that sticks to this principle and allows both parties secure access to the information they need. With a win/win approach, brokers can satisfy their requirements, but also continue to package and check an application is affordable and within criteria. In this way, both lender and broker have access to the same information from the same source. This can be difficult to do accurately with a lender-only solution where the information is not visible to the broker.
How it works - Brokers
Brokers are an integral part of the document process, below is an overview of how it works for them.
