What's in the build
Six pieces, one workflow.
Approved to funded — without re-keying. Faster Payments, BACS, audit, all wired.
01 · Approval-to-contract
DocuSign on approve, no re-keying.
On underwriter approve, the system generates the contract from your template (variables filled), sends via DocuSign, gates the next step on signature. No PDF wrangling.

02 · Pay-out engine
Faster Payments / BACS / CHAPS — wired.
Pay-out routed to the right rail by amount, urgency, and counterparty. Faster Payments under threshold; CHAPS for high-value same-day; BACS for batch. Confirmation captured.

03 · Reconciliation
Pay-out matches ledger matches bureau.
Three-way reconciliation: pay-out file, internal ledger, bureau confirmation. Discrepancies flagged. Bookkeeper closes faster; audit log is complete.

Sample engagement
The lender that took funding from T+2 to same-day.
£40m disbursed/year. Three admin staff. Manual BACS files.
An SME lender disbursed via manual BACS upload, with reconciliation a week later in Excel. Average funding lag: 2.3 business days. We shipped a disbursement app on Faster Payments + BACS rails with three-way reconciliation. Six months in: funding lag 4 hours, admin time on disbursement / week 18 hours → 3, no reconciliation discrepancies past the audit.
How we measure: Funding lag measured from approval to borrower-receipt (n = 320 across 12 weeks pre/post), admin time tracked via self-report, reconciliation discrepancies counted from internal audit.
