Mortgages, income and affordability evidenced

Affordability from real income and spending.

Mortgage affordability turns on genuine income and committed spending, especially for the self-employed. Credit Canary reads the applicant's accounts to verify income, measure real outgoings, and evidence affordability beyond a declared figure or an ONS average.

Declared, then verified

A payslip is a moment. The account is the whole picture.

Declared
  • Income from payslips and declared figures
  • Outgoings modelled from national averages
  • Self-employed income hard to evidence
  • Committed credit elsewhere easy to miss
Verified with open banking
  • Income verified from real credits over months
  • Committed spend read from actual transactions
  • Self-employed income averaged from real receipts
  • Existing commitments surfaced from the feed
