Bank Statement Loans: Know Before You Go

For brokers working with self-employed clients, entrepreneurs, and real estate investors, income documentation can be a frustrating challenge. Traditional methods often disqualify strong borrowers simply because their income doesn’t fit neatly on a tax return.

That’s why bank statement loans have become an indispensable tool. But here’s the real game-changer: not all bank statement programs are created equal. At Dominion Financial Wholesale, we’ve built a solution that lets you know before you go, giving you clarity and confidence before you ever submit a file.

The Problem With Guesswork

In the bank statement space, most lenders will run your income calculation after submission. That means you often don’t know whether your borrower truly qualifies until hours (or even days) later. And worse, those calculations are only about 80% accurate on average, leaving plenty of room for surprises that derail a deal.

In today’s market, brokers don’t have time for guesswork. Speed matters. Accuracy matters. And your clients’ trust depends on both.

Dominion’s Solution: Speed + Accuracy

With Dominion Financial Wholesale, you can qualify your borrower’s income before submission. Our income calculation gives you the numbers upfront – fast, precise, and reliable.

That difference means:

  • Speed: Get your income calculation in minutes, not hours.
  • Accuracy: Our calcs are more reliable than the industry standard, reducing surprises down the line.
  • Confidence: You know where your borrower stands before the file hits underwriting.

For you as a broker, this isn’t just a convenience; it’s a competitive advantage.

Program Highlights Worth Noting

Dominion’s Bank Statement Program is built for today’s non-traditional borrower:

– Loan amounts up to $4,000,000

– Up to 90% LTV for maximum flexibility

– Credit scores down to 660

– Purchase, Rate & Term, or Cash-Out Refi options

This program is a natural fit for:

– Self-employed professionals with strong cash flow but complex tax returns.

– Small business owners reinvesting in their ventures.

– Real estate investors balancing multiple income streams.

Why Brokers Should Pay Attention

Bank statement loans are already a powerful way to serve clients who fall outside traditional lending boxes. But Dominion’s approach, anchored in speed, accuracy, and upfront qualification, takes it further.

When you work with us, you will:

– Save time by knowing the income before submission.

– Win borrower trust by avoiding last-minute surprises.

– Expand your pipeline with clients whom traditional lenders turn away.

– Leverage competitive terms like 90% LTV and multi-million-dollar loan amounts to close bigger deals.

The Bottom Line

Your borrowers shouldn’t lose out because of outdated documentation standards. And you shouldn’t lose deals to delays, inaccuracies, or hidden surprises.

Dominion Financial Wholesale’s Bank Statement Program is designed to put brokers back in control, delivering clarity before submission, speed when it matters most, and accuracy you can count on.

In today’s competitive market, that’s more than a program feature. It’s the edge that helps you close more, protect more, and grow more.
