How it Works
Local businesses who have signed up with their bank or credit union make financing available to their customers
Loan Application
Loan applications require varying types of information based on the loan type. Epic River’s Intelligent Data Capture Workflow automatically identifies loan specific requirements and requests the pertinent information from the applicant whether the information requires 3rd party integration, data entry or document upload. All applicant data entry is validated and verified for accuracy.
Document upload will request specific documents and document types (e.g.such as financial statements, pay stubs, payroll reports etal.) These documents are all securely stored in the Platform@EpicRiver for access and review by authorized lenders as well as direct integration to bank document imaging systems.
- Streamlined and expedited loan application and closing process
- Enhanced experience for loan applicants
Integration to all major document storage systems (OneDrive, Google Drive, and Dropbox) - Document association and storage together with all loan documents and disclosures.
- Uninterrupted workflow and ease of adoption because we integrate with the tools you are already using.

ID Verification
Epic River’s industry leading, advanced identity verification technologies ensure that all signers are who they say they are. We use a multi-factor authentication system that combines ID Document Validation, Biometrics and Knowledge Based Authentication (KBA) to provide the highest level of security.The Platform@EpicRiver is built to support the needs of our existing and future solutions. Advanced ID verification provides protection for all parties, removing liabilities now and in the future.
ID Document Validation – Forensic authentication against a valid, government issued ID such as a driver’s license, passport, birth certificate or citizenship certificate. We compare applicant supplied data, such as name, date of birth, address, and SSN with other trusted databases to determine if there is a match.
Biometric Authentication – Facial recognition authentication against the provided government-issued ID paired with a signer selfie taken using Epic River’s patent pending liveness detection technology for spoofing prevention.
Knowledge Based Authentication (KBA) – Dynamic, knowledge-based authentication utilizing questions formulated from public and proprietary data sources. Epic River’s KBA is in full compliance with MISMO Remote Online Notarization Standards.
