Compliance
Our financial software for lendings is built with a strong commitment to regulatory compliance, ensuring that all operations, transactions, and data handling practices align with the latest legal requirements and industry standards.
1071 Compliance
As part of our dedication to supporting fair lending practices, our platform ensures compliance with Section 1071 of the Dodd-Frank Act, which mandates the collection and reporting of certain data related to credit applications. This includes data on the applicant’s race, ethnicity, sex, and income, and is designed to promote transparency and fair access to credit for underserved communities. Our software facilitates seamless data collection, storage, and reporting in accordance with CFPB (Consumer Financial Protection Bureau) guidelines.
Data Collection
The software allows lenders to collect and categorize relevant demographic data from applicants without compromising privacy or security. This data is stored in compliance with the regulatory standards to ensure accuracy and confidentiality.
Reporting & Documentation
The platform enables the generation of detailed reports in the format required by the CFPB, ensuring that lenders can fulfill their obligations regarding quarterly and annual reporting. All required data is easily accessible for audits and regulatory reviews.
Non-Discriminatory Practices
The system is designed to avoid any discrimination in the lending process. It ensures that all credit decisions are made based on fair, objective criteria, promoting equal access to financial products.
General Compliance with Financial Regulations
Beyond 1071, our platform is built to comply with a wide array of financial regulations, including:
PCI-DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard)
To safeguard customer payment information and ensure the secure processing of transactions, our platform complies with PCI-DSS standards, which set the security requirements for handling cardholder data.
GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation)
We prioritize the privacy of personal data. The platform is designed to help lenders manage their customers’ personal information in compliance with GDPR, ensuring that data is processed fairly, transparently, and securely.
SOX (Sarbanes-Oxley Act)
For publicly traded financial institutions, the software adheres to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) provisions regarding data integrity, financial reporting, and internal controls.
BSA/AML (Lender Secrecy Act/Anti-Money Laundering)
Our software includes tools to assist lenders in complying with anti-money laundering regulations. It supports transaction monitoring, reporting of suspicious activities, and the collection of information for customer due diligence (CDD).
KYT (Know Your Transaction)
Our platform supports KYT protocols to help lenders monitor and assess transactions in real time. By analyzing transaction behavior against customer profiles and risk thresholds, the system can flag unusual activity, aiding in the detection of fraud, money laundering, and other financial crimes. This ensures compliance with evolving regulatory requirements while protecting the integrity of the financial system.
Audit and Reporting Features
The software incorporates robust audit trails and compliance reporting tools to ensure transparency and accuracy in all data handling. Detailed logs capture every action taken within the system, providing a clear record for audits and regulatory reviews. Automated reports are generated in real time to ensure that lenders can meet regulatory deadlines and expectations.
Data Security and Privacy
To support compliance with both financial and data protection regulations, our platform ensures the secure management and storage of all customer data. This includes data encryption, role-based access controls, and secure data backups. We also provide features to support data retention policies, ensuring that data is retained or destroyed in line with legal and regulatory requirements.
Training and Documentation
To support financial institutions in meeting compliance requirements, we offer ongoing training and support materials. Our compliance documentation, including guides for meeting Section 1071 and other regulatory standards, is easily accessible to help users understand the requirements and how the platform supports them. Additionally, our team provides assistance with any questions or issues related to compliance management.
Continuous Monitoring and Updates
As regulations evolve, we ensure our platform remains up-to-date with changes in financial compliance standards. Continuous monitoring is in place to detect and address any areas of non-compliance, and we provide regular software updates to incorporate any regulatory changes, ensuring that your institution remains compliant at all times.
By integrating 1071 Compliance alongside other regulatory requirements, our financial software provides a comprehensive solution for lenders, enabling them to meet their legal obligations while fostering fair and transparent lending practices.

SOC 2 Type II compliance is based on the Trust Services Criteria for security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy. A SOC 2 Type II audit evaluates both the design and operational effectiveness of controls over a defined period (typically 6 to 12 months), ensuring that the platform consistently operates according to rigorous security standards.
Our financial software undergoes independent third-party audits to assess and confirm that our internal controls and processes are compliant with the SOC 2 Type II criteria. The audit results provide transparency and assurance to our clients that their sensitive financial data is being managed securely.
