In brief: Mortgage technology provider Floify has added verification of assets to its existing income-and-employment verification service, giving lenders another way to collect bank-account data without moving borrowers into a separate application workflow.
The Boulder, Colorado-based company announced the expansion on October 20, 2026, at 7 a.m. Eastern, according to its distributed company release. The new capability is part of Floify Verify, a service powered by Argyle. Floify previously offered electronic verification of income and employment; asset verification is the new component.
One borrower workflow instead of separate requests
Borrowers can connect eligible checking and savings accounts during a mortgage application, or after a lender requests updated information on an active file. Floify says the resulting asset information flows into the Uniform Residential Loan Application, commonly called the 1003, and that its system can suppress redundant bank-statement requests when a verification report is already on file.
The product is designed to reduce the friction created when borrowers must leave a lender’s point-of-sale portal, log into another vendor’s interface and upload similar documents more than once. Lenders may configure when verification is triggered, which could help balance customer experience against the cost of obtaining reports on borrowers who have not yet moved far into the loan process.
Floify says bringing income, employment and asset checks together also simplifies vendor relationships and billing. These are company-described benefits; the announcement did not provide independently audited reductions in loan cycle times or cost per funded mortgage attributable specifically to the new asset feature.
Asset data does not replace underwriting judgment
Bank-connected information can help lenders document account balances and transaction histories, but it does not automatically establish that every deposit is an acceptable source of funds. Underwriters still must evaluate large deposits, account ownership, reserve requirements and loan-program rules. Borrowers must also understand the permission they grant when connecting financial accounts.
Argyle’s existing role in income and employment verification is relevant because some eligible reports can support automated validation and representations-and-warranties relief under agency processes. However, that does not mean every loan using the new asset feature qualifies for such relief, or that lender responsibility for data quality disappears.
Mortgage technology consolidation continues
As origination volumes remain under pressure, lenders are looking for ways to reduce manual document handling without weakening controls. Platforms that combine application intake, data verification and loan-team communication may gain an advantage, particularly if borrowers can complete more of the process without repeatedly providing the same information.
Floify is part of Porch Group. Its expansion adds to a competitive market in which point-of-sale vendors, verification providers and loan origination systems are all seeking a larger role in the borrower journey. Actual lender adoption, data coverage and integration reliability will determine whether the promised efficiency gains materialize.
