What Our Clients Say
When clients send their bank statements directly to us by email, they’re sending them in PDF format—which requires manual work to process and to review for inconsistencies.
We use the Statement Share tool, created by Blanc Labs using Flinks APIs, at deal origination. There are various use cases for us, but the tool is a crucial part of our verification process that assesses whether what borrowers have stated in their applications is true. Thanks to the API, we are seeing statements and factual data directly from their banks.
