The solution also allows lenders to pull the payroll data directly from the organisations with the permission of the loan applicants.

FormFree CEO Brent Chandler said: “Income verification is a critical factor in assessing a borrower’s ability to repay a loan.

“Enabling lenders to corroborate images of paystubs against digital data sources allows them to make credit decisions with a high level of confidence.”

Loan originators can also use this service to assess an applicant’s ability to repay the loans. It compares the paystub data with the asset data to calculate the annual net value of the applicants.

To process the loans, the data is then pushed into lender systems such as point-of-sale (POS) platforms, loan origination software (LOS) and automated underwriting systems (AUS).

Ocrolus CEO Sam Bobley said: “FormFree is a leading fintech that we are proud to partner with; incorporating our capabilities within Passport provides lenders with precisely accurate data for financial decisioning.”
