Investor · Standard UW box (ABS tape)
100 applications = count and %

Standard box only — what a facility can benchmark.

A lender who has bought or financed unsecured consumer paper will not want First Look and Second Look mixed in one tape. They map score band, DTI, bankruptcy, seasoning to other portfolios and to ABS credit enhancement. Dual Look / ClearAsk is a separate book (next page). This page is the standard UW box only: near-prime, prime, and super-prime.

Near-prime + prime + super-prime only. Approve 39 (9 + 16 + 14). Decline 21. Declines may request Second Look (8 do, 40% of declines). They do not stay in this tape.

Second Look — 48 reviewed (next page)

Auto-declines 22 + subprime 18 (ClearAsk: why the money, what changed) + 8 standard declines who asked. Approve 12 (25% of the 48) at a $1,500 cap — above a 15% floor, inside the 20–40% account-based second-look band. Own APR, own PIFC. Not in ABS tape.

Funnel n=100 so 22 = 22%. Approval rates inside the standard box: super-prime 90%, prime 73%, near-prime 50%. Industry 60+ DPD (TransUnion Jan 2026 personal loans): 0.01% / 0.15% / 1.15% — LLR is 36-month lifetime % of original principal, not 60+ DPD. MLA MAPR 36% does not bind this box (max contract 19.99%). Second Look (33.99% APR, higher PIFC) is the next page and is booked apart. Illustrative. Not a consumer offer. Not a securities offering.

TrueTerm

Investor · Second Look book (off ABS tape)
$1,500 cap · 33.99% · higher PIFC

Second Look is a different loan. It is booked that way.

This book is not mixed into the standard tape a warehouse or ABS desk will compare to other unsecured consumer deals. It exists so Dual Look can still be a hand up — without contaminating the credit box.

Military Lending Act: MAPR cap is 36% (interest + most fees). Second Look contract APR is 33.99% with $0 origination — 201 bps of MAPR headroom. We do not price to the 36% wall.

Loss defense is size, not a 36% mill: we often book less than they asked. More credit later is proprietary underwriting after they demonstrate payment — not a promised ladder, not on this tape. Payment on the $1,500 / 24 mo unit is $86.98.

Why PIFC is higher here

Standard give-back is 20% of interest (~$177). Second Look is 35% of interest (~$206 on $1,500 / 24 mo) — a larger share of interest so the smaller loan still ends with a real asset. After PIFC they still paid a real price (28.5%). Still far below OppLoans 99–195% and payday ~391%.

Per 100 applications this is an $18,000 side book (12 × $1,500) next to ~$127,500 of standard originations. Small on purpose. Subsequent credit after demonstrated payment is proprietary UW and is not in the facility model. If this book ever mattered to a warehouse, it would be a separate pool, separate advance, separate loss trigger.

33.99% so MAPR stays under the 36% Military Lending Act ceiling with fee headroom. $0 origination. Loan IDs: TT-YYYY-NNNNNN-EEE. Subsequent credit rules are proprietary and are not a customer or investor ladder. OppLoans 99–195% and payday ~391% are the alternative this file is offered today. Illustrative. Not a consumer offer. Not a securities offering. Not licensed lending unless disclosed in-app.

Investor page 2 of 2 · Seed book
Illustrative · not a securities offering

We know how the first book is built.

A company that lends has to show unit, pace, and a tape — not a slogan. TrueTerm’s seed book is a $1M loan pool at a $3,000 expected average, originated over nine months. When that pool is placed, the next raise is argued from actuals.
