If you’ve ever asked a borrower for proof of insurance, you know how easily the process can slow everything down. Borrowers fumble through emails or photos. Lenders wait. Deals stall.

At first glance, a digital verification tool might sound like another login step in an already packed process. But with Canopy Connect’s Adaptive Verification, it’s the exact opposite—it’s a smarter, faster, and more flexible way to verify coverage without adding friction.

The Challenge: Another Step in the Borrower’s Journey

Most verification tools assume that every borrower interacts with their insurance the same way. They expect a login, a password, and a successful connection to a carrier account. But the reality is more complicated:

Not every borrower remembers their login credentials.
Some borrowers don’t have online access set up at all.
Many carriers handle authentication differently, creating inconsistent experiences.

The result? More drop-offs, more manual work, and more frustration for everyone involved.

The Smarter Way: Meeting Borrowers Where They Are

Not every borrower manages their insurance the same way—and that’s exactly why Canopy Connect takes an adaptive approach.

For some, logging into their carrier’s portal is quick and familiar. For others, they might not have an online account set up yet. With Canopy Connect, the experience adjusts automatically to what works best for them.

Borrowers can:

Share verified data instantly. If they have access to their online insurance account, they can simply select their carrier and sign in. If they don't, Canopy directs borrowers through a flow to create an online account and brings them back to the sign in. Canopy Connect will then retrieve their policy information in seconds.
Verify by submitting policy number and key information. The fields you need to fill out depend on your carrier. Canopy Connect uses this info to get your policy details directly from them.
Upload their declaration page or insurance documents. Canopy Connect will scan and extract the policy information from the insurance documents.

This isn’t a one-size-fits-all process. It’s a flexible, borrower-friendly experience designed to reduce friction without compromising on data quality or security.

Adaptive Verification: The End of Credential Fatigue

Adaptive Verification intelligently recognizes how each borrower’s insurance is set up and selects the best verification path automatically, no extra steps required.

If a borrower has a connected carrier login, Canopy Connect uses that secure authentication to retrieve verified data directly from the source.

If they don’t, it seamlessly switches to other secure methods like verified contact or document-based confirmation.

In every case, the lender gets real, verified coverage data, and the borrower gets a fast, effortless experience.

Why It Matters

In lending and auto retail, every minute counts. Borrowers don’t want to jump through hoops. Lenders don’t want to chase down paperwork or wonder if coverage is valid.

Adaptive Verification eliminates that tension. It removes the guesswork, keeps the deal moving, and builds trust on both sides of the transaction.

Because the best verification experience isn’t about another login.

It’s about not needing one at all.
