How does Smile API aid in credit decisioning, credit scoring and credit approvals?

Smile API aids in fraud prevention by delivering real-time, verified employment and income data that can be used to cross-verify the information provided by applicants. By having access to such accurate data, lenders and financial institutions can detect discrepancies and red flags in applications, reducing the likelihood of fraudulent activities. This real-time validation ensures that the credentials of potential borrowers are authenticated, thereby safeguarding against identity theft and false claims of income or employment.
How does Smile API help with pre-employment screening?

With real-time access to a wide range of employment documents and data sources, Smile API helps companies mitigate hiring risks, confirm candidate qualifications, and make informed decisions quickly and efficiently, securing the integrity of the workforce and maintaining a high standard of recruitment practices.
How does Smile API integrate with existing systems for loan underwriting and decisioning?
Smile API is designed for seamless integration with existing loan underwriting and decisioning systems. It simplifies the data collection process by providing a unified API that connects directly with a variety of data sources. This integration enables lenders to access up-to-date employment information, facilitating a more streamlined, accurate, and efficient loan approval process.
What makes Smile API different from traditional credit bureau data?
Smile API stands out by offering alternative credit data alongside traditional credit bureau information, encompassing real-time employment and income data directly from various authoritative sources. This enriched data set supports a more holistic view of an individual's financial situation, enabling better credit risk assessment and decision-making.
How is this in compliance with the Data Privacy Act?
Smile believes in the sanctity of one's privacy and that our users are the owners of their personal data, and should always be in full control when and to whom they share their data. Smile seeks to comply with all local laws around data privacy.
