 HOW IT WORKS

Here are some examples of how CreditAPI can benefit your credit-based company:

COMPANIES THAT OFFER REAL-TIME APPROVALS WITH ONLINE APPLICATIONS

A business that delivers credit-based products and services directly to the consumer via a browser based application.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS

Operational Efficiencies. CreditAPI will simplify and automate your web-based credit supported business. Everything is completed via an Internet connection so it is fast and easy. The credit information is directly inputted into your web-based application, without the need for human intervention. After your web application runs its queries, it will instantly approve, deny, or otherwise inform your customer of their application status. Directly over the web. In real-time.

Eliminates network security issues. Since the credit data is stored in Credit Technologies MeridianLink database, we will ensure strict security measures in the handling of such critical and confidential information. This equates to huge operational efficiencies for you without the hassle.

LARGE MORTGAGE LENDERS OR BROKERS
Credit-based businesses that need credit verifications and have a customized LOS, desktop underwriting engine, or other customized software package.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?

Cost savings.  Normally you would have an online telemarketing system run a credit report to get a pre-qual quote. If the borrower's credit looks decent enough, you would have to re-run the credit report with a credit reporting agency for trade supplements so that you can upgrade the loan to an approved status. This means you pay for the same credit information twice. Credit Technologies CreditAPI eliminates this redundancy.

System Compatibility. The CreditAPI module is an open interface that connects directly to your Loan Origination System (LOS), desktop underwriter, or other customized software, and provides seamless integration with your existing IT infrastructure. In addition, the CreditAPI interface eliminates redundant and time-consuming double and triple entry of applicant and credit information.

Operational Efficiencies. CreditAPI will simplify and automate your web-based credit business. Everything is completed via an Internet connection so it is fast and easy. Information from all three credit bureaus is inputted directly into your LOS, desktop underwriter, etc. in seconds and without any human intervention. After your system runs its queries, CreditAPI will auto-populate any necessary reports or letters with relevant credit data. And since CreditAPI is based on XML technology, the integration is easy.

CREDIT UNIONS, SMALL LOAN LENDERS, EQUIPMENT LEASERS, ETC.
Credit-based businesses that don't need to verify credit information and have a customized LOS, desktop underwriting engine, or other customized software package.


WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?

Because of our advanced merge logic and network setup, the credit data is merged from all three repositories in seconds and delivered instantly! It's fast and easy.

Eliminates network security issues. Since the credit data is stored in Credit Technologies MCL database, we will ensure strict security measures in the handling of such critical and confidential information. This equates to huge operational efficiencies for you without the hassle.
