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:- Create a user — Your server calls POST /v1/users/.
- Create a bridge token — Your server calls POST /v1/users//tokens/ with the
product_typeanddata_sourcesfor the chosen method. - Open Bridge — Your frontend initializes Truv Bridge with the
bridge_token. The applicant connects their provider. - Receive webhooks — Truv sends a
task-status-updatedwebhook when verification completes. - 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.
