Lending gates

Finance Gate

Finance Gate pairs live Bank Rate and sterling FX with AffixIO credit, income, mortgage and motor finance circuits so lending teams can inspect a signed gate without pulling a full bureau file into AffixIO.

Rate context and eligibility in the same workspace

Mortgage conversations still start with income multiples and LTV. Motor finance asks for a cleaner credit floor. Meanwhile Bank Rate and FX move in public, key-free feeds.

Finance Gate reads the Bank of England Statistical Interactive Database for Bank Rate, Frankfurter for GBP FX, and GOV.UK bank holidays for calendar context. AffixIO then proves the lending gate.

It is not a regulated quote. It is an eligibility workspace built on open market data and signed proofs.

Bureau-first portals

Full credit files and affordability packs are essential for underwriting, and they stay with authorised firms.

Heavy, regulated, necessary later

Open market + AffixIO gate

Bank Rate, FX and holiday calendars need no key. AffixIO signs whether illustrative credit, income and LTV rules clear.

Light, early, auditable

Live Bank Rate, FX and mortgage interest
