Getting Started​

In the four phases in this implementation guide we will progress through the different types of verifications offered by Informed. We will start with the simplest and progress to the more complex.

  • Phase 1 starts with creating and satisfying an application with two applicant-level verifications (residence and identity)
  • Phase 2 adds the income verification
  • Phase 3 ventures into the application-level verifications (such as retail_installment_sales_contract and credit_application)
  • Phase 4 shows the process of submitting eContract data to Informed

Please proceed through phases 1 to 4.
