Lead distribution software for loan leads

Short answer

Loan leads are sold to lenders with strict and different approval criteria, so order your buyers from the pickiest and best-paying lender down to the most lenient. Fraud and duplicates are common in this vertical, so check phone, email and IP before any lender sees a lead.

How loan lead buyers differ

Criteria: income, employment status, a bank account, loan amount and state.
Price: the lender with the strictest criteria usually pays the most.
State rules: some lenders cannot lend in some states.
Appetite: lenders pause when their volume is full.

Why the order of the cascade matters

A strict, high-paying lender goes first. If the lead fails their criteria it drops to the next, then to lenders with looser rules, then to a fallback. Each lead gets its best chance at the best price, and a lead that fits no lender is not lost, only unsold.

The fraud problem

Loan traffic attracts fake leads and repeat submissions. Check phone, email and IP before the ping, block duplicates, and grade your sources so you stop paying for the bad ones. Hold publisher payouts until a sale is confirmed so returns do not come out of your pocket.
