We’ve launched a new integration that allows you to upload credit reports. Pave cleans, normalizes, and unifies credit reports with a user’s bank transaction data, allowing lenders to easily get a complete view of a borrower’s liabilities.
To date, Pave has been surfacing a user’s liabilities from their bank transaction history as well as debt aggregators like Method. However, while bank transactions provide valuable insight into a user’s debt payments, they don’t include information such as the original loan amount, the current and remaining balance, the APR, and more.
Ingesting credit reports will allow us to unify a user’s loan payment history in bank data with the corresponding loan details from a credit report.
Overall, the more data sources Pave can ingest about a user, the more complete and accurate their financial picture will be, since there is no single data source that captures all of a user’s cashflows, liabilities, and assets.
Why this matters
- Credit reports are the most common data sources lenders use to make risk decisions
- However, credit reports can be incomplete, inaccurate, and out of date
- Ingesting credit reports allows Pave to unify a borrower’s bank transaction data and credit reports in order to return a more complete and updated picture of a user’s liabilities
- Our Liabilities endpoint and dashboard allow lenders to see all of a user’s liabilities in one place
Use Cases
- Automate risk decisions: Streamline approvals, loan pricing, and loan amounts based on a user’s payment history, current loans, and delinquencies
- Dynamically adjust credit limits: Identify if a borrower remains on track with their loan payments vs. waiting months for payments to surface in credit reports
- Debt consolidation: Efficiently model different consolidation scenarios to offer users payoff options
- Personalize refinancing offers: Monitor your users’ loan history and proactively offer loan refinancing options
- Build debt management experiences: Allow your users to see all of their loans in one place. Recommend optimal debt payoff plans based on their cash flows and interest rates
