Lending & Financial Services

Fast, secure loan applications with built-in KYC

⚠️ The Challenge

Lenders face lengthy approval times, high fraud rates, and manual KYC/AML compliance processes. Slow document verification creates customer drop-off, whilst missed fraud detection leads to losses. Regulatory penalties loom for inadequate identity and income verification.

The Solution

Integrate Cleared API directly into your loan application workflow

1

Customer applies for loan on your platform

2

Your backend calls Cleared API to initiate verification

3

System automatically looks up customer by tax number/email (no duplicate accounts)

4

Customer receives SMS/email with verification link

5

AI processes documents in real-time with biometric matching

6

Your system receives webhook when verification completes

7

Decision engine uses verified data for instant approval

Complete Workflow

Application submitted → API initiates KYC → Customer verifies (ID + address + income) → Results posted via webhook → Instant credit decision

      expiresAt: new Date(Date.now() + 48 * 60 * 60 * 1000).toISOString()
    }
  },
  {
    headers: {
      'Authorization': `Bearer ${process.env.CLEARED_API_KEY}`,

    }
  }
);

console.log('Request ID:', response.data.requestId);
