Absolutely! At Alterfina, you can apply for a fast credit without a credit check and even with a poor credit history. Unlike traditional banks, we do not perform credit checks and never reject a request due to a low credit score. Instead, we assess your repayment ability based on factors like your income and financial stability. Thanks to our 100% online process, no documents are required, and your request will be processed in less than 24 hours.

IBV stands for “Instant Bank Verification.” It’s a technology that, with your permission, allows secure, read-only access to certain information from your bank account (such as deposits and income history). It all happens online, in just a few clicks and without having to send in documents. During verification, you’ll log into your bank account just as you normally would (username, password, security questions if needed). We never have access to your login or password. The process is quick and secure.

IBV is a fast and reliable tool that allows us to automatically assess your eligibility, without requesting documents like bank statements or paystubs. It’s a simpler, faster method and widely used in the financial industry. This technology allows us to process your application in just a few hours while maintaining a high level of security and data protection.

Yes, IBV is the most secure technology available on the market. It is considered as safe as the systems used by major Canadian financial institutions. We do not and will never have access to your username or password. We partner with Flinks, a leading provider of instant bank verification services.

None. The bank verification is automatic and secure via our partner Flinks. All you need to do is log in to your bank account where your pay is deposited, using our secure platform, just like you normally would (with your username, password, and security questions if required).

If verification fails, our team will contact you to help guide you through a second attempt or suggest an alternative. Make sure your banking credentials are correct, that you’re logging into the account where your pay is deposited, and that you’re able to answer your security questions. Need help? Call us at 1 888 350-7738 — we’ll be happy to assist you.

No. The IBV does not affect your credit score. It is not a traditional credit check but rather a read-only, temporary access to your banking data, like deposits and transactions within the last 90 days. This process is not visible to credit bureaus and has no impact on your credit report.

No. The IBV is mandatory to complete a credit application with Alterfina. This process allows us to evaluate your eligibility quickly and efficiently, without unnecessary paperwork.
