Use alternative financial data to improve credit decisioning and more

People increasingly want to apply for credit cards and loans digitally, via fintech apps. To prevent fraud and make sound lending decisions, fintechs need to verify the user’s identity and check their financial statements before opening a new line of credit for them.

With Akoya’s APIs for lending and credit decisions, individuals can share their data with fintech apps using their financial institution’s existing online portal — no screen scraping required.

The fintech app can use their data, encompassing up to two years of transaction history, for decisioning purposes, including:

Account verification
Asset verification
Credit scoring and modeling
Deposit verification
Employment verification
Fraud prevention
Lending
Underwriting

Sensitive information like tax ID and date of birth is not shared.

“Consumers' personal financial data should only be accessed with their explicit consent and they should have the ability to monitor and revoke that access. For this reason, we created Akoya and are now joining with several financial institutions to accelerate the availability of a secure, transparent and more reliable network for the entire financial services industry.”
