PointPredictive announced the general availability of a new solution that aims to help lenders improve the overall accuracy of their income validation efforts.
The solution, IncomePASS, analyzes a borrower’s income to determine whether or not they are likely to default on a loan. The company claims this will better help lenders assess when additional characteristics of an application are more likely to lead to loss.
“Traditional legacy tools are expensive and provide incomplete coverage,” said Tim Grace, CEO of PointPredictive. “Employer-based database verification checks can typically verify income on less than 30% of the applicant submissions, leaving 70% of stated incomes to be confirmed by paycheck reviews, many of which are fake paycheck submissions. Replacing these solutions with IncomePASS will enable 100% coverage across a lender’s portfolio and enable significantly less friction between consumers, lenders and dealers in funding loans.”
