Launch and scale faster: The last mile of lending shouldn’t be the longest. Approvals are won upstream, but conversions are won at closing. Checkout transforms the final step of funding into a single, guided, one-link experience that borrowers complete in minutes—not days.

The challenge: fragmented closings kill momentum

  • Too many handoffs: email, PDFs, separate e-sign portals, manual bank setup
  • Stipulation ping-pong: chasing missing documents and signatures
  • Late-stage risk checks: last-minute flags and rework
  • Compliance friction: disclosures, consents, and audit trails across systems

The result: dropped deals, slower time-to-cash, higher operational cost.

The solution: Checkout orchestrates closing end-to-end One secure link. One adaptive flow. Everything needed to fund:

  • Offer acceptance and clear terms review
  • Identity and business verification (KYC/KYB) with live checks
  • Instant account verification (IAV) and ACH autopay authorization
  • Stip collection and smart document requests
  • E-sign for all parties with a full audit trail
  • Funding instructions and confirmations
  • Automated reminders and event-driven updates

How it works

  1. Approve: Trigger Checkout from your LOS or via API after decisioning.
  2. Assemble: Checkout builds a dynamic, product-specific checklist based on rules, amount, and jurisdiction.
  3. Send: Deliver a single secure link via SMS or email. No portal logins required.
  4. Guide: Borrowers complete on any device with save-and-resume and step-by-step prompts.
  5. Verify: Real-time KYC/KYB, fraud, and device risk checks as they proceed.
  6. Sign: E-sign captures all consents and signatures with ESIGN/UETA compliance.
  7. Fund: Collect bank details, confirm disbursement, set up autopay, and finalize.
  8. Sync: Write back status, documents, and events to your CRM/LOS via webhooks.

API-first and easy to embed

  • Embed as a widget or use a hosted, white-labeled link
  • Event webhooks for every milestone: sent, opened, verified, signed, funded
  • Sandbox to prototype and test flows before launch
  • Clear docs and sample templates to accelerate integration

Operational lift without headcount

  • Reduce manual chasing with automated reminders and step logic
  • Eliminate NIGO loops with validations at the point of entry
  • Standardize closing across teams, channels, and partners
  • Create a repeatable, auditable process that scales

What to measure with Checkout

  • Approval-to-fund conversion rate
  • Time to fund from offer acceptance
  • Step-level drop-off and recovery
  • Stip turnaround time and NIGO rates
  • Percentage of same-day closes

Real-world scenario Imagine this: An approval hits your LOS at 10:02 a.m. Your team triggers Checkout. The borrower receives a secure link. They review terms, verify their business, connect their bank, sign, and authorize ACH—on their phone, between appointments. Your team gets a funded confirmation and a complete audit trail before lunch.

The bottom line Closing should be a catalyst, not a constraint. Checkout streamlines the final step so your borrowers finish fast, your team works smarter, and more approvals become funded deals.
