Real Estate APIs for home loan KYC, tenant verification & broker onboarding
From home loan KYC to tenant background checks to developer and broker verification — Eko gives housing finance companies, proptech platforms, and real estate marketplaces the APIs to close deals faster.
The challenge for Real Estate
Real estate transactions involve India's largest personal financial commitments. Home loan KYC still relies on physical document submission and manual scrutiny that takes weeks. Housing finance companies are under RBI pressure to digitise borrower onboarding while maintaining robust fraud prevention.
For proptech platforms onboarding brokers and developers, the KYB challenge mirrors marketplaces: PAN, GST, and bank account must be verified before enabling listing and commission settlement. Tenant verification for rental platforms adds employment and identity verification on top.

Result: Application processing from 14 days to same-day. Document fraud dropped to near zero.
Proptech broker onboarding
Situation:A proptech marketplace onboards 1,000 brokers per month and needs to verify them before enabling listing and commission settlement.
