Bectran and Cobalt Collaborate on SOS Integration for Automated Credit Applications
CHICAGO, Sept. 27, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bectran, Inc., the industry leader in credit, collections and accounts receivable management technology, has introduced a new collaboration with Cobalt Intelligence, a highly regarded data solutions firm specializing in secretary of state (SOS) data collection. Bectran’s new API integration with Cobalt provides users with a powerful anti-fraud and efficiency generating toolkit.
“This collaboration is a realization of our goal to make fraud solutions easier to implement and provide impactful solutions for improving risk management,” comments Louis Ifeguni, Bectran CEO. “The integration will equip credit managers with real-time SOS data at the moment of application submission, resulting in tighter fraud security measures and faster credit approvals.”
Credit Application Fraud Prevention
Fraud agents prey on out-of-date data, presenting a false face to credit departments with their intimate knowledge of the application process. Utilizing secretary of state real-time data, the risk of approving fraudulent credit applications can be severely curtailed. With direct integration into SOS websites, credit departments can be assured of their data integrity by using up-to-date and reliable records.
Bectran’s automatic credit application system with real-time SOS website data pulls creates corporate verification reports seamlessly alongside application submissions. The SOS data will then be evaluated through Bectran’s scoring models to determine the authenticity of the application. To ensure data accuracy, a screenshot and link to the corresponding SOS document will be displayed immediately alongside the report. For further protection, a timestamp and watermark are attached to every screenshot, providing users with an audit trail for the verification process. The reports, links and screenshots will include all data and documents available on the corresponding SOS website. This varies by state but can include entity type, corporation status, articles of incorporation, SOS ID, corporate officer information, filing date and more. Credit applicants whose corporation status is found to be inactive or out-of-date can be automatically declined.
Driving Credit Application Efficiency
In addition to the benefits of fraud protection, automatic SOS verification brings unparalleled efficiency to the credit application process.
This integration will lead to quicker credit application approvals, with verification done almost instantly. Manual verification processes are tedious in comparison, as they require significant time and effort from credit departments.
