Here's Joe Salvatore, Chief Risk Officer at IDEA Financial say:

"We process between 5,000-10,000 applications each month. This was completely manual until Cobalt's integration automated everything."

Here's Khunal Bhasin, CEO of 1West say:

We, in real-time, digest the information from their credit report. From their bank statement data. We're reading their bank statements through an OCR that we use. And we've also recently signed up with Plaid. Then we're checking the Secretary of State data through Cobalt Intelligence API.

The constant back-and-forth with applicants over missing documents is NOW in the past because they’ve built a risk assessment model so sophisticated it can predict potential defaults before they happen.
