Pushbacks occur when YouLend requires more information to underwrite a lead. This can occur if the data submitted to YouLend during the application phase is incomplete or incorrect. An example of this could be if YouLend is missing bank statements required to underwrite a merchant.
Process for resolving pushbacks
Partners will usually rely on YouLend to resolve application pushbacks directly with the merchants. YouLend's support team can resolve these on a case-by-case basis with merchants. Partners can stay informed throughout the pushback process by subscribing to the above two webhooks events.
Alternatively, partners can manage and handle the pushback scenarios themselves. See below for the typical integrated journey:
1. Submitted application to YouLend requires further information
If YouLend requires more information in order to underwrite an application, YouLend can inform the partner with the ONB10029 event code.
2. Partner contacts the merchant to request more information
The partner now requests the required information from the merchant, relating to the pushback reason (see table) detailed in the webhook notification.
3. Partner sends the additional documents to YouLend
YouLend has a few endpoints to receive updated/ additional documents, see below for some examples.
4. Partner submits response to pending information
Once the required information has been gathered from the merchant and sent to the relevant endpoint, the partner sends a POST
call to the Submit a response to pending information endpoint to resolve a pushback.
Examples
Example 1: YouLend require clarification surrounding the fluctuations in a merchants transaction data
- YouLend send
ONB10029
webhook with codePB004
(Provide clarification of fluctuations in transaction data) - Partner sends a
POST
call to this endpoint withreasonCode
PB004
using theadditionalInfo
parameter to provide the reason of the fluctuation
Example 2: YouLend requires Proof of ID for the merchant in order to complete KYC
- YouLend sends the
ONB10029
pushback webhook with codePB001
(Proof of ID) - Partner provides the required information, sending a POST call to the Submit a KYC document for a significant person endpoint
- Partner sends a
POST
call to the Submit a response to pending information endpoint to notify YouLend that the pushback has been resolved
