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.

Prerequisites

API Access & Authentication

The finX API is a restful API that is accessed using HTTP Basic Authentication with a Client ID as username and a Client Secret as password. Therefore each customer receives a Client ID and Client Secret from Qwist to access the finX API, which has a specific set of Scopes attached to it. Scopes define the usage rights of each Client ID on the finX platform.
