Navigating the Landscape: Understanding What Lenders Examine in Bank Statements

11.10.23 01:31 PM By Responsive Lending

Why we ask for bank statements

When you're venturing into the realm of loans, especially if you're exploring bad credit loan options, your bank statements stand as a testament to your financial habits. Credit lenders, with a keen eye for details, sift through these documents as part of their decision-making arsenal. It's more than just paperwork; it's a narrative of your financial health and behaviour.


Key Insights Lenders Seek in Your Bank Statements

Though the lens may differ slightly from one lender to another, certain universal truths remain when they peer into your bank statements:

  • Undisclosed Loans: Are there any debts lurking that you haven't mentioned? Lenders are on the lookout for surprises.
  • Income Verification: the figures you've declared - do they reflect truthfully in your deposits?
  • Account Conduct: Instances of overdrawing signal red flags. How often does your balance dip into the negatives?
  • Honouring Financial Commitments: Do your statements reveal any dishonoured payments to other finance entities?
  • Financial Resilience: By the week's end, is there a cushion in your account, or are the margins razor-thin?
