Lenders - to protect your email database, you need to validate the email addresses provided by customers during the loan application process.
The ZeroBounce email validationⓘA process that determines if an email address uses valid syntax, exists on a given domain, and is configured to receive incoming email messages integration allows you to automatically validate and verify any email address submitted on a customer’s loan application. This feature helps you avoid hard bounces, protects your company’s email deliverability, and makes it easier to contact genuine customers.
How It Works
Whenever a customer submits their application, Infinity will ping the ZeroBounce API to validate the provided email address.
For valid email addresses - The loan application will be submitted successfully without any additional error messages.
For invalid email addresses - The email status will appear as one of the following: invalid, catch-all, spam trap, abuse, do_not_mail, or unknown.
ZeroBounce will also provide customers with a suggested fix, when possible, via a ‘Did you mean’ error message.

Customers can choose to update their email address to be validated once more. If they choose not to, the application will continue, and the email will be marked with the appropriate status.
If there is no suggested fix, the customer will be notified that their email couldn’t be verified.
Users will be prompted to correct their email if it’s unverified
They will have an opportunity to change their address or continue with the application process. The email address will be marked with the appropriate status.
