Improvements and Fixes

  • Income & Employer Verification: Improved the algorithm for calculating monthly net income from bank statements.
  • Affordability Insights: Responding to user feedback, we've made the high-value transactions indicator configurable—allowing you to specify the threshold amount to trigger the indicator.
  • Bank Statement supported banks We've expanded the list of banks and financial institutions that are compatible with bank statement data extraction.

We've also resolved several bugs:

  • Fixed an issue where, in some cases, unpaid hours or unpaid time off was incorrectly listed as negative income instead of a deduction.
  • Addressed a rare issue where company officers' names from the Companies House registry were not being mapped correctly.
