Loan Matching

It's not easy getting people to visit your website. Don't make them jump through hoops to apply for a loan.

Asking someone who's just ordered something off Amazon with a single-click to fill out a long-winded form is only going to lead to applicants dropping out.

Loan Matching is an easy way for borrowers to find the right loan products they are likely to be accepted for.

Pre-qualify applicants

If you operate a membership system, such as a common bond, Loan Matching ensures that only those who qualify can apply to borrow.

Easily help applicants find the right loan. No more confusion. People can only apply for loan products for which they qualify.

Restrict access to your loan products by where an applicant lives or works

Link qualification for products to specific criteria e.g. being employed by a payroll partner or living in a particular housing association

Offer special deals for existing members with special deals that only they qualify for, e.g. secured or loyalty loans

Update your membership criteria in minutes, directly from the NestEgg dashboard

Don't take our word for it...

Bradford District Credit Union (BDCU) started using Loan Matching in 2024. The introduction of soft credit checks led to record-breaking numbers of applications. The number of loans written rose by 20% vs 2023 and the average value was up almost 25%.

The Credit Union has since increased the maximum loan from £15k to £25k, making a number of internal changes to reduce the paperwork. BDCU now has one of the quickest turnaround times for loans for a UK credit union.

More applications with soft credit checks

Hard credit checks have a negative impact on an applicant’s credit score. If this is all that is on offer many applicants will look elsewhere.

Because of this, Loan Matching provides soft credit checks. Potential borrowers can see if they meet a lender’s criteria to be accepted for a loan before they apply. This has no impact on their credit score. Soft checks improve conversion rates.

When an applicant applies in this way they can see not just whether they’d be accepted but what the maximum amount is that they could get.
