Argyle FAQs

  • Who is Argyle best for - their role(s) within what kind of companies.

    Argyle offers solutions for anyone in the financial services industry that is looking to save time, costs, and improve the customer journey. Our white-label, customizable tools, and pre-built templates eliminate PDFs, W2s, payslips, and all other forms of fixed, opaque, and reductive financial documentation.

    We also help our clients expand their potential market base by verifying untraditional income, (gig works, 1099 contractors, shift workers), that legacy credit models do not account for, and can reduce default risk by up to 2/3rds through paycheck-linked lending, a boon for lenders and consumers alike.

  • How does Argyle benefit them?

    Financial service providers rely on Argyle to power the digital experiences to maximize efficiencies, lower costs, and reduce risk across the customer journey. By offering holistic visibility into consumers’ past, present, and future earnings, Argyle makes it possible to:

    - Automate essential functions
    - Issue better, fairer, and faster decisions
    - Unlock opportunities to extend, scale, and grow

    This is achieved by automating the application and underwriting processes for credit products. In as little as 10 minutes, a borrower can complete an application that would ordinarily take 20 hours over several days. Our automation process also eliminates the need for underwriting teams to review numerous documents. Clients have reported saving 1,000 hours of work each month with Argyle.

  • How technical do users need to be to use Argyle's software?

    With Argyle, a single borrower sign-in fulfills your data needs throughout the lending process, enabling you to auto-fill loan applications, verify income and employment in seconds, and gain a holistic view of an applicant’s creditworthiness for instant, intelligent decisioning with minimal (if any) manual interventions. In turn, you get a low-friction borrowing experience that increases conversions, reduces time to funding, and lowers first payment default risk, all at less cost to you.

    Argyle offers both technical and no-code options for integration. For clients that have developers on staff, technical documentation is available for all products, as well as sandbox environments and demos.

    Argyle’s non-technical clients can integrate customizable, ready-to-use pre-built templates to get up and running and go to market quickly.

    Pay for what you use, not what you don’t. Our solutions offer continuous access and you only pay per successful account connection, direct deposit switch, and for continuous monitoring.

    For activation, pay a single charge upon account connection. This gives a full view of an account's current and historical income and employment data. You only pay for successful connections, get immediate data access, and pay nothing for the initial setup check.

    For continuous monitoring, pay a small fee per month, per account. Monitoring provides ongoing user-permissioned access to an account, with continuous data refreshes and notifications of changes to income and employment.
