Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about LenderBox, from platform capabilities and accuracy to security, compliance, and pricing.

Platform & Accuracy

What AI tools are used for CRE underwriting?+

LenderBox uses eight purpose-built AI engines that automate document extraction, policy checking, risk scoring, portfolio analytics, market intelligence, and memo generation.

Are you replacing our underwriters?+

No. LenderBox augments your team by eliminating manual data work. Your underwriters still make the credit decisions; they just get there faster, with better data in front of them.

How accurate is AI-powered document extraction?+

Page-level citation on every extracted figure, across appraisals, rent rolls, operating statements and the other CRE document types the platform reads. Any figure can be traced back to the page it came from.

Does this work for all CRE asset types?+

Yes. Multifamily, office, retail, industrial, hospitality, mixed-use, and more. The platform handles property-specific document structures and data patterns.

What if our documents are messy or inconsistent?+

That is exactly what LenderBox is built for. The platform processes inconsistent PDF formats, variable data quality, and lender-specific document structures.

Can LenderBox detect weak appraisal assumptions?+

Yes. It identifies misaligned assumptions, flags unsupported adjustments, and cross-references market data to validate appraisal conclusions.

How fast can we get a term sheet out with LenderBox?+

Most teams achieve turnarounds of under an hour on deal packages. Upload the documents, and the platform extracts the data, layers in market intelligence, scores risk, and generates a committee-ready memo.

Does LenderBox have market data we cannot get elsewhere?+

LenderBox Market Intelligence aggregates AI-powered market research: cap rates, pricing trends, risk indicators, and comparable transactions across markets and property types.

Implementation & Integration

How long does implementation take?+

Most institutions go live in three to four weeks. LenderBox fits into your existing workflow, with no infrastructure overhaul required.

Can LenderBox work with our existing LOS?+

Yes. LenderBox sits beside the loan origination system your institution already runs, including nCino and Salesforce, so there is no rip and replace. It is an intelligence layer that sits alongside your existing tools rather than replacing them.

Does LenderBox replace our LOS or CRM?+

No. LenderBox is a lending intelligence platform that sits alongside your LOS and CRM. It enhances your workflow rather than replacing it.

How many people from our side need to be involved?+

Typically one project lead and one or two power users. LenderBox handles configuration and training, and no dedicated IT resources are required for setup.

How does this compare to building our own internal tools?+

Building internal extraction and market data infrastructure requires 6 to 12 months of engineering. LenderBox is live in three to four weeks, with continuous model and data updates after that.

Security & Compliance

Where does our data actually live?+

AWS data centers in the United States, covered by AWS's own SOC 2 Type II reports, with biometric access, 24/7 surveillance, and environmental protections. No offshore storage.

Can LenderBox employees see our deals?+

No. Zero-access-by-default model. Production data is not accessible to employees during normal operations. Any access requires authorization, is logged, and is scope-limited.

How do you prevent data from touching other institutions?+

Architectural isolation. Each institution's data is held in a tenant-scoped store, filtered by organization ID at the database layer. There is no shared data pool, and AI models do not cross-train on other clients' data.

Will this pass our vendor risk assessment?+

LenderBox provides SOC 2 Type II reports, GLBA-informed control documentation, data flow diagrams, and incident response procedures. Multiple banks have completed assessments successfully.

Are you compliant with US banking regulations?+

GLBA-informed, aligned with OCC Third-Party Risk Management guidance (Bulletin 2023-17), and designed to meet the standards evaluated by federal and state examiners.

What happens if LenderBox is breached?+

A documented incident response plan with defined escalation procedures and notification timelines, per applicable law and service agreement terms.

Pricing & Getting Started

What does pricing look like?+

Pricing has three parts: one-time data activation, a monthly platform fee credited toward usage, and a flat per-deal rate. The pricing page explains how each part is scoped.

Do we need to sign a long-term contract?+

No. At day 90 of the activation program you receive a readiness package, and you decide whether to proceed with full implementation.

Does this scale as we grow?+

Yes. LenderBox is designed for local banks, regional institutions, super-regionals, and global lending platforms. The platform scales with your portfolio and your team.
