What's in the build

Six pieces, one workflow.

Approved to funded — without re-keying. Faster Payments, BACS, audit, all wired.

01 · Approval-to-contract

DocuSign on approve, no re-keying.

On underwriter approve, the system generates the contract from your template (variables filled), sends via DocuSign, gates the next step on signature. No PDF wrangling.

  • Template-variable fill
  • DocuSign integration
  • Signature-gated flow
  • Audit log per send
02 · Pay-out engine

Faster Payments / BACS / CHAPS — wired.

Pay-out routed to the right rail by amount, urgency, and counterparty. Faster Payments under threshold; CHAPS for high-value same-day; BACS for batch. Confirmation captured.

  • Multi-rail routing
  • Threshold-based selection
  • Same-day flag
  • Confirmation receipt
03 · Reconciliation

Pay-out matches ledger matches bureau.

Three-way reconciliation: pay-out file, internal ledger, bureau confirmation. Discrepancies flagged. Bookkeeper closes faster; audit log is complete.

  • Three-way reconciliation
  • Discrepancy flag queue
  • Auto-clearing
  • Manual-override audit
04 · Holdbacks & retentions

Complex deal structures, supported.

Holdbacks, retentions, escrow, multi-tranche disbursement — all configurable. Schedule per loan. Trigger conditions per tranche. Most loan apps don't handle this; ours does.

  • Multi-tranche schedule
  • Holdback / escrow
  • Trigger-based release
  • Retention schedule
05 · Anti-fraud checks

Last-mile checks before money moves.

Confirmation-of-payee on the destination account. Sanctions re-check. Manual hold if amount-velocity rules trip. The wrong account doesn't get the money.

  • Confirmation of Payee (CoP)
  • Sanctions re-check
  • Velocity rules
  • Manual-hold queue
06 · Reporting

Disbursed, pending, reconciled, exception.

Live: disbursed today, pending, reconciled, exception queue, reconciliation lag. SLA per row. Daily summary email to finance. Audit pack on demand.

  • Live disbursement dashboard
  • Reconciliation-lag SLA
  • Daily summary email
  • On-demand audit pack
Sample engagement

The lender that took funding from T+2 to same-day.

£40m disbursed/year. Three admin staff. Manual BACS files.

An SME lender disbursed via manual BACS upload, with reconciliation a week later in Excel. Average funding lag: 2.3 business days. We shipped a disbursement app on Faster Payments + BACS rails with three-way reconciliation. Six months in: funding lag 4 hours, admin time on disbursement / week 18 hours → 3, no reconciliation discrepancies past the audit.

How we measure: Funding lag measured from approval to borrower-receipt (n = 320 across 12 weeks pre/post), admin time tracked via self-report, reconciliation discrepancies counted from internal audit.
