Overview

Disposable Income Verification emerges as a digital solution to assess user financials swiftly and securely. By providing real-time access to transaction histories, it streamlines affordability evaluations, offering insights into regular income streams and both fixed and variable expenses. This real-time data, further enhanced with categorized income and expenditure, gives you a transparent view of a user's financial health. Consequently, you can negate manual intervention, driving faster, informed, and data-backed decisions.

Terminology used:

  1. Income/Expense stream: Transactions grouped under the same category like salary payments from a company called Acme, Inc.
  2. Regular expenses: Expenses that occur on a predictable schedule such as monthly rent payments.
  3. Variable expenses: Expenses that do not have a set schedule, e.g., occasional movie tickets.
  4. Disposable income: The amount of money remaining after regular expenses.
  5. Discretionary income: Amount available after deducting both regular and variable expenses.
