Credit cards, affordability evidenced

Set limits on real affordability.

Open banking turns a declared income into a verified one and a guessed budget into a real one. Credit Canary reads the applicant's account to set and review credit card limits on what they genuinely earn and can afford, in line with the Consumer Duty.

Declared, then verified

A typed income is a claim. Open banking is the evidence.

Declared
  • Income and outgoings as typed by the applicant
  • Limits set on bureau data and assumptions
  • Thin-file customers declined by default
  • Affordability reviewed rarely, if at all
Verified with open banking
  • Income verified from real salary credits
  • Committed spend read from actual transactions
  • Thin-file but affordable customers approved on evidence
  • Affordability re-checked at limit increases

Open banking across the card lifecycle

From application to limit management, evidenced throughout.

Income

Verify salary and other income down to the payer.

Affordability

Measure real commitments and surplus, not a declared figure.

Conduct

Surface gambling, high-cost credit and returned payments.

Consumer Duty

Evidence a fair, affordable decision you can defend.

The statement, turned into a decision

The same Open Banking enrichment behind our wider work, read as verified income and affordability.
