Open Banking
CLEVR Money has partnered with Perfect Data Solutions Ltd (trading as Lending Metrics) to provide access to an Open Banking platform. We have also partnered with Credit Kudos to provide access to an Open Banking platform.
When processing a loan application, we are required to perform affordability checks and eligibility checks. In order to perform these checks, we require that members submit their bank statement, either electronically or by sending a paper statement to us.
We appreciate that this can be time consuming for some of our members, especially those who hold multiple bank accounts. Our Open Banking platform allows you to consent to us reviewing your transactional data easily, quickly and securely via a computer or mobile phone.
You must be registered for online banking with your main current account to use this platform.
Do I have to provide consent? You are under no obligation to provide us with consent via Open Banking, but we will still require sight of your Transaction Data through other means (e.g. PDF downloads of your statements from your bank or printed paper statements) which will be stored, used and processed in accordance with this policy. Failure to provide the requested information will lead to your loan being refused.
