Add an income signal before asking for another document

With consent, Smile Income Estimator turns one email address into a probability-based income signal for Philippine applicants in a synchronous API response.


The Problem

Thin files create a tradeoff between missing context and added friction. When verified income is unavailable at the first step, a lender can request another document, accept less context or route the case to manual review.


Each option adds time, friction or uncertainty. Income Estimator adds a supplemental signal using an email address that many digital journeys already collect.

The Solution

How It Works

Step 1

Obtain Consent


Step 2

Send the applicant's email address and select the correct country


Step 3

Receive probability, tier, reference range, certainty and model version synchronously


Step 4

Use the result as an additional input in your models or decision-making process


Current model evidence

Supplied product material reports AUC ROC 0.709, 64 percent accuracy on a held-out test set and latency under one second

Responsible use

The output is not exact income, income verification or a substitute for documentation. It should not be the sole approval or decline criterion.
