Overview

Pingtree offers two types of credit integrations to help you enrich your lead data and improve qualification precision:

  1. Array Product API — Full credit report integration inside the Funnel Builder.
  2. Soft-Pull Credit API — Lightweight credit validation for lead qualification, without impacting the credit score.

Both options provide flexibility in targeting, compliance, and monetization strategy.


🔐 Compliance & Security

  • All credit data access requires explicit user consent, per FCRA standards.
  • Data is encrypted in transit and at rest.
  • Sensitive information is never stored unless explicitly configured.
  • API calls require wallet balance > 0 and recharge enabled.

🔍 Purpose of Integration

  • Validate and segment leads using real credit data.
  • Route qualified leads to higher-paying buyers.
  • Create advanced logic flows for financial funnels.

✅ Array Product API

The Array Product API retrieves and displays a complete credit report. It’s designed to give users visibility into their credit health directly in your funnel.

Activated via Funnel Builder Plugin

Navigate to Funnel Builder → Plugins → Array, and toggle it on inside the form flow editor.

Upon activation, the system will automatically pull credit data when required fields are collected and consent is granted.

Soft-Pull Credit API (Pingtree Credit Check)

Use Case: Validate debt, collections, or utilization before sending the lead to buyers.

    Returns verified unsecured/revolving debt ranges.

  • Full Credit Offering
    Choose specific data points like account age, utilization, collections, and define custom rules (e.g., IF debt > 5000 THEN route to Buyer A).

To trigger a credit pull, the following 7 fields must be collected:

  1. first_name

  3. address
  4. city
  5. state – Two-letter (e.g., CA)
