rewrite this title Truework Intelligence Brings New Data Methods and Predictive Modeling to Mortgage Lenders – Finovate

Truework Intelligence, a new offering from income and employment verification technology company Truework, will provide mortgage lenders and property managers with a fully automated and comprehensive verification platform. The solution provides automatic orchestration, data standardization, and insights to provide an end-to-end verification experience that leverages new data methods, predictive modeling, and more.

“We started Truework to reinvent the way consumer data was collected and processed for maximum security and accuracy,” Truework CEO and Co-Founder Ryan Sandler explained. “From the early days, machine learning was a core part of our product. It has continued to evolve over time, both through internal modeling efforts and the latest external technologies. The Intelligence Platform is the result of this evolution to truly serve as a single solution for customers.”

Truework Intelligence replaces homegrown vendor “waterfalls” and related internal processes, removing guesswork and giving customers a plug-and-play verification solution. Among the platform’s features are the addition of bank income and tax transcripts to its current data methods, and predictive modeling for report turnaround times and the likelihood of report completion. This second feature of Truework Intelligence helps provide transparency and insights into the verification process and adds to the platform’s existing machine learning models that extract and parse data for accuracy and estimate the accuracy of income based on employment information.

“It’s not about returning the first data set we find,” Sandler added. “That’s what everyone else does. And it doesn’t work. It makes organizations leverage subpar vendors to fill data gaps. We are looking at the bigger picture by providing an accurate and complete picture of every consumer, using technology to handle data with trust and attention to detail.”

Truework’s product news comes just a few weeks after the company announced that it was working with TransUnion. The collaboration is designed to give mortgage lenders better and more reliable access to the verification of income and employment data they need to accelerate and enhance underwriting while keeping costs low. As part of the partnership, Truework’s TruVision Income and Employment Verification solution is now available via the TransUnion API. TruVision gives lenders access to instant data from more than 48 million active employee records, consumer-permissioned payroll (which covers 90% of employers in the US), as well as automated outreach to HR departments and third-party providers.

Also this year, Truework teamed up with another fellow Finovate alum—Blend Labs—to make income and employment verification technology available across both home lending and consumer banking. Blend Labs integrated Truework’s intelligent verification of income and employment technology directly into its consumer banking and home lending products in order to provide faster borrower approvals and much broader income and employment data coverage.

“Building a best-in-class lending experience means bringing together the right technology partners to streamline every step of the process,” Blend Co-Founder Nima Ghamsari said. “Partnering with Truework strengthens this commitment by delivering more seamless and comprehensive verifications, helping lenders drive efficiency and provide faster, more reliable approvals for their customers.”

Truework made its Finovate debut at FinovateFall 2021 in New York. At the conference, the San Francisco, California-based company demonstrated how its API enables developers to automatically verify income and employment data for any US employee. The company showed how its front-end widget, Truework.js, powered by the Truework API, allows users to log in to their payroll accounts and share source-of-truth data for those instances when their records are outside of Truework’s network of 35 million employees.

Users of Truework’s technology include eight of the top ten lenders in the US by origination volume. The company noted that its solutions have helped mortgage lenders across the country lower costs by 50% and achieve average completion rates of 75%. The company was founded in 2017.
