If you can get a copy of an old bank statement to prove time in business, that will work for us. A contact person at the bank is very helpful. Some banks will not release information over the phone. We suggest the lessee call the bank and speak to their contact person to authorize release of information to us over the phone. Getting the last name of the contact person is helpful.
Some banks have a central phone number.
If you can not get the direct phone number of the branch the lessee deals with, put the branch location on the application. We also ask for the approximate opening date on the account. This will determine if you need to provide prior banking information. These are important since they demonstrate the lessee's re-payment history. In this section we are looking for companies who extend credit to the lessee.
