We may ask you to give us read-only access to your bank statements through our trusted partner Consents.Online, this allows our loan officer to see the past ninety days of your bank statement over a secure connection. Alternatively, you can provide printouts of your bank statements, but this will take a few days longer to process while we wait to receive these.
