What is being bought

Published requirement description

As part of its loan application and underwriting process, SULCo requires robust, real-time credit and fraud checking capability to assess applicant eligibility, affordability, and identity risk. This is a critical part of the application journey, integrated directly into SULCo's Salesforce-based origination platform via API. The outputs from these checks will be processed through a set of rules configured within Salesforce to determine an applicant’s suitability for a Start Up Loan.
