Increase consumer confidence and achieve higher approval rates with prequalified offers

With Prequalification, you can increase return on investment by matching consumers with the right products at the right time. Prequalification is a consumer consent-based business model designed for businesses (internet lead generators, brokers, resellers, and lenders) who want to offer consumers insight into what products they qualify for, prequalifies them for credit in real time at the point of contact, and eliminates the requirement that the company make a firm credit offer. Prequalification posts as a soft inquiry, so it doesn’t impact the consumer’s credit score and only requires their name and address to get started.

Real-time qualified leads at the point of contact

Put consumers in the driver’s seat

A soft prequalification inquiry is posted to a consumer’s credit file and it doesn’t affect their credit score.

Engage customers at the point of contact 

Prequalification enables you to return customized prequalified offers and attract engaged and eligible consumers into the loan origination funnel.

Easily access prequalification services

Prequalification is accessed through the same method that you use to pull a credit report, such as our API Hub. If you currently pull credit reports, you will have no issues quickly and effectively implementing Prequalification.
