Liabilities

Suggest Edits

The Liabilities product allows you to retrieve anyone's government-provided loans in seconds, giving you access to important data for decisions and underwriting. Their capability to maintain and pay off a loan is especially useful when assessing a person's credit worthiness.

With Smile, your customers can share liabilities information with you so you have more data points for your credit decisioning.

This information can be used any number of ways:

  • verifying loans data provided by your customer
  • supplementing current data with liabilities information
  • assessing credit worthiness

Combined with our Incomes and Employments products, you can build a holistic view of your user, and determine appropriate financial services to offer and provide to them.
