Verifying borrower finances inside AI loan workflows

AI agents can request permissioned access to a borrower's bank account, assess income and spending patterns, and continue loan or refinance applications when credit-score-only qualification falls short.

Why the human is still essential here

Humans still set lending policy, review edge cases, and make final approval and compliance decisions while the agent gathers data and keeps the process moving.

How people use this

In-chat asset verification for refinance

An AI agent asks the borrower to link checking and savings accounts during a refinance conversation, then uses balances and transaction history to keep the application moving without manual document upload.

Plaid / Blend

Payroll-based income confirmation

When paystubs are missing or outdated, the agent pulls permissioned payroll data to confirm employment and recent earnings before handing the file to underwriting.

Argyle / Plaid Income

Cash-flow review for thin-file applicants

The agent analyzes deposits, recurring bills, and spending volatility from linked accounts to prepare a cash-flow summary for borrowers who do not qualify cleanly on credit score alone.

Plaid and Sierra partner to move AI agents from conversations to business outcomes

Through our partnership, customers can now securely connect their bank accounts with Plaid directly within Sierra’s agent. This creates entirely new customer experiences. People can make payments or verify their finances without leaving the conversation. The agent can then use that information to complete longer-running tasks like refinancing a loan.
