RIGA, Latvia (11th of October, 2022) – Referencing software Lettings In A Box has teamed up with Nordigen, the only freemium open banking provider, to enhance their application and assessment processes.
Lettings In A Box is one of the UK’s leading referencing companies. Formed by lawyers and insurance specialists, the business offers a seamless platform for tenant and guarantor referencing. In order to ensure that the risks of default and fraud are kept to an absolute minimum, Lettings In A Box uses a hybrid of technology, AI, and human decision-making. The platform facilitates all the required procedures between landlords and tenants, including document, employment and identity verification, credit checks and landlord authentication.
In addition to referencing processes, Lettings In A Box offers their customers a wide range of insurance policies to better protect their users, such as deposit replacement, rent guarantee, tenant liability and home emergency.
“Technology such as open banking and open payroll have become more important in the decision-making process since fraudulent reference requests have increased to about 2% nationwide in the UK. We partnered with Nordigen to help combat these issues and ensure our platform is as technologically innovative as possible,” says Elliott Smart, Director of Business Development at Lettings In A Box.
The integration with Nordigen enables Lettings In A Box to access financial data directly from clients’ business bank accounts for accurate, real-time tenant screening procedures.
“We are delighted to see Lettings In A Box join us as a valuable client.
