Why does Fig need to verify my bank account details?

Fig’s loan application process considers a variety of proprietary factors to determine an individual's eligibility to obtain a loan from Fig, including the loan amount and related APR. As a responsible lender, we take into account a number of factors as part of our assessment process. This includes, but is not limited to:

• Your bank account transaction history to:
  • validate the information that has been provided to us by you or any credit reporting agency.
  • help determine whether you can make your loan repayments.
  • detect broader risk indicators such as fraud.
  • ensure compliance to regulatory requirements.
• The personal information you provided, which allows us to confirm your identity
