Applications from borrowers without a checking account at your financial institution
This feature is optional and is determined by your product owner during implementation with Autobooks.
Applicants without a checking account at your institution can still apply if your financial institution has this feature enabled. The borrower will connect a bank account at their existing financial institution, and their loan is funded only after they open a checking account with you.
How the application differs from an existing customer
The applicant signs in to their other bank through a connector so the system can read their transaction history. Credit and deposit analysis work the same way as a standard customer application. The offer is conditional: the applicant must open a checking account at your financial institution before the loan is funded.
To book a loan for a new customer
- Open the loan record in the Action Center. The boarding sheet shows that the deposit data came from the deposit aggregator (connector).
- Work the Action Steps as usual.
- Before funding, confirm with your account opening team that the borrower has opened a checking account at your institution.
- On the Establish Term Loan or Establish Line of Credit step, use the new account number at your financial institution, then click Complete.
Note: You cannot fund the loan until the new account is open and an account number at your financial institution has been generated.
For the standard booking process, see Book a loan in the Action Center.
