Instant Bank Verification (IBV)

The secure technology that replaces pay stubs, bank statements and credit checks.

Secure bank connection on a phone

What is IBV?

Instant Bank Verification (IBV) is a system used by financial institutions across Canada that securely confirms your income directly from your banking history, in a matter of minutes.

In practice: you are taken to a secure page, you log in to your bank through that page, and a read-only summary of your transactions is generated. That's it.

What IBV shows

  • The regularity of your pay deposits
  • The age and activity of your account
  • Your real repayment ability

What IBV never does

  • It never shares your password or banking credentials
  • It gives no access to make transactions in your account
  • It does not touch your credit score: it is not a credit check
"Your credentials stay between you and your bank. Only a read-only summary is shared."

Why we use it

IBV allows a fair and fast decision based on your real situation rather than a credit score that tells the past. It is also what makes the process 100% online and paperwork-free.

This is also why direct deposit and an account open for at least 3 months are required: without a history of regular deposits, IBV cannot confirm the stability of your income.

A $500 loan may be paired with optional services, which are entirely optional. Subscribing to these services is not required to obtain the loan and has no effect on the credit decision or loan terms. If you choose to opt in, optional service fees may apply and are payable bi-weekly over 6 installments, separately from loan principal and interest. Example: a payment of $145.59 bi-weekly, for a total of $873.54, including optional service fees. Optional services are provided by a separate entity, which sets its own fees independently of loan interest.

Borrow responsibly. While we offer a helpful option when you need it, our interest rate is higher than a local bank's. Use short-term loans only when no other option is available, and as rarely as possible. Taking on several short-term loans at the same time can lead to serious financial difficulty and excessive debt.
