  • How Online Lenders Figure If You're Worthy of A Loan

    And the company uses all types of data to determine real consumers from fraudulent profiles and to figure out which applicants are creditworthy.

    Fraudsters use automated inputs to speed up loan applications online. The faster an application is being processed, Laplanche said, the greater the likelihood it is a bot and not an actual person.

    Timing is key. Laplanche said on stage that Lending Club's ideal person to lend to was more likely to submit an application during regular business hours. If someone applies for a loan at 3 a.m., the person most likely poses a higher risk.

    The browser and email service you use could make you a greater liability. Laplanche wouldn't say, however, which browsers and email addresses were most suspect.

    Because business loans are regulated differently from consumer loans, Lending Club can factor Yelp reviews and Google search trends to determine creditworthiness for small businesses.

    Watch the caps lock! Another lending-industry executive, who asked to remain unnamed, said his firm determined that consumers who filled out applications IN ALL CAPS had a higher likelihood of default.

        By the way I also found flaws in the my site that will need to be corrected. I have a small window manufacturing business. And I needed additional investment in the company and the banks often refused, although the income allows you to freely pay for small loans. It's good that the guys from here paydayinusa.com helped me. Thanks to their help, my company has expanded. Also thank you to your post for the recommendations. Now I will pay attention to this.
