Bank Statements Collection and Verification Service
Experian’s Bank Statements Collection and Verification Service (BSCVS) streamlines the financial verification process by allowing credit providers to securely and efficiently collect and verify bank statements.
This service helps businesses meet affordability assessment requirements and comply with the National Credit Act Regulation 23A(4), which mandates the validation of gross income via bank statements or payslips.
The BSCVS is ideal for credit providers, financial institutions, and businesses that need to validate consumers’ financial data as part of a credit application or affordability assessment.
It offers a seamless and secure income verification solution while minimising the fraud risk.

How It Works
As part of the credit application process, consumers consent to lenders' retrieving their bank statements directly from their bank. Experian collects these statements and automatically verifies them to ensure their authenticity. Alternatively, consumers can upload saved statements, which are verified in real-time service and helps businesses link affordability documentation seamlessly to each credit application, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements while improving efficiency and curbing fraud.
