In today’s fast-paced financial world, lenders and brokers face the constant challenge of providing quick and accurate financial assessments to banks to process loans. Although core lending decisions often rely on comprehensive Consumer Affordability Reports, banks still require a traditional bank statement as part of the supporting documentation. Basiq’s new Bank Statements product is a tool that complements our existing insights affordability solution, offering a streamlined way for financial assessments to be shared with banks.

Traditionally, obtaining these statements involves a cumbersome, manual process that can delay decision-making and frustrate both lenders and customers alike. This need for speed and precision in financial assessments highlights a critical gap in the current tools available to lenders.

Understanding the pain points

• Inefficiency: Traditional processes for retrieving and verifying bank statements are notoriously slow and can lead to significant delays in loan approval.
• Lack of standardisation: Each bank may have different formats and data availability, complicating the assessment process for lenders who deal with multiple banks.
• Compliance and accuracy concerns: Ensuring that the bank statements are compliant with regulatory requirements and accurately reflect the customer’s financial status is paramount, yet challenging due to varying data quality.

To address these industry-wide challenges, Basiq’s Bank Statements innovate on how financial assessments are conducted and shared with banks. Bank Statements compliments our existing Insights Affordability solution, providing a seamless and efficient method for generating accurate, compliant bank statements for lenders.

Key Features of Basiq’s Bank Statements

• Access via API or our no code dashboard: Basiq’s Bank Statements can be generated through two convenient methods: via our robust API for seamless integration into existing systems, or through our intuitive no-code dashboard, which allows partners to generate and download statements in a PDF or JSON format without any technical expertise.
• Single account focus: Tailors statements for individual or joint accounts while presenting details clearly and compliantly.
