Why CarPow?

How how we carry out affordability checks

CarPow use the latest affordability software from our provider - Illion that is designed to collect financial information from your bank account. Lenders review this summary to get an overview of your income and expenses over the previous 90 days, including details on accommodation costs, food and grocery expenses, insurance costs, and current financial commitments. By analysing your spending habits, the lender can make a more informed decision about your creditworthiness and assess whether you can afford to repay the loan. This is a responsible lending practice that helps to ensure that you are not overburdened with debt and can meet your financial obligations.

Consistent income: Lenders will look for regular and consistent income over the previous 90 days to ensure that you have a reliable source of funds to make loan payments.

Low expenses: Lenders will look for low monthly expenses, particularly in discretionary areas such as entertainment and travel, to ensure that you can afford to make loan payments without undue hardship.

Manageable debt-to-income ratio: Lenders will assess your debt-to-income ratio based on your current financial obligations and income, and will look for a ratio that is manageable and indicates that you can afford to repay the loan.

Regular savings: Lenders may look for regular savings habits in your bank statement data, as this demonstrates financial responsibility and the ability to budget and plan for the future.

Limited overdrafts: Lenders may review your bank statement data for any instances of overdrafts or bounced payments, which can indicate financial instability and may negatively impact your loan application.
