Verify applicant income, employment, and assets by embedding Truv Bridge in your lending application. Choose the verification method that fits your use case.
All Consumer Credit integrations use the Bridge Widget flow. Create a user and bridge token, then open Bridge for the applicant to connect.

API flow

All Consumer Credit integrations follow the same User + Bridge Token flow:
  1. Create a user — Your server calls POST /v1/users/.
  2. Create a bridge token — Your server calls POST /v1/users//tokens/ with the product_type and data_sources for the chosen method.
  3. Open Bridge — Your frontend initializes Truv Bridge with the bridge_token. The applicant connects their provider.
  4. Receive webhooks — Truv sends a task-status-updated webhook when verification completes.
  5. Fetch the report — Your server retrieves the VOIE report or income insights report depending on the method.

Combine methods

Most production implementations combine two or more approaches:
  • Smart Routing + PLL: Verify income during the application, then set up automatic repayment after approval.
  • Payroll + Bank: Try payroll first for the best data quality. Fall back to bank income when the employer has low payroll coverage.
  • Any method + Documents: Enable document upload as a fallback in Bridge when direct connections are unavailable.
