What Is a Bank Statement Loan?
A Missouri bank statement loan is a unique option available to loan applicants who aren’t able to provide W-2 statements for income verification. Instead, lenders use 12-24 months of bank statements to verify whether an applicant can reasonably afford the loan. These bank statements can come from personal or business accounts, and can even come in the form of profit and loss statements.
Any self-employed person may benefit from a bank statement loan. This includes:
- Gig workers
- Freelancers
- Entrepreneurs
- Business owners
Bank statement loans fall under the umbrella of non-QM mortgages. In the traditional loan application process, loans undergo the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s qualification process using W-2 income verification. Because bank statement loans don’t undergo this specific process, they’re considered non-qualified.
However, this doesn’t make bank statement mortgages particularly risky or unsafe. In fact, for some borrowers, bank statement loans may be a better option.
