VeriFast

Automates tenant screening and financial verification

Overview

VeriFast provides automated tenant screening and financial verification for real estate and financial services. Its platform cross-references hundreds of digital data points to deliver real-time digital ID checks and financial verifications. It offers analytics such as trended income, assets, tax data, debt service, cash flow, and buying behavior to support instant decision-making. The service is privacy-conscious and permission-based, aiming to be a one-stop verification platform that businesses can integrate or use directly with applicants. Unlike typical single-data checks, VeriFast combines multiple data streams for faster, more accurate verifications, reducing manual work for property managers, landlords, and lenders. Its goal is to streamline onboarding and verification processes, improve decision quality, and securely manage financial credentials for all stakeholders.
