What it does
Six steps, working together as one acquisition team.
1Find the right borrowers.
Alauda manages targeting and spend under your brand, on your ad accounts. It decides who sees each ad and checks every creative for compliance. A campaign launches only after every creative passes.
2Confirm they applied.
Every borrower confirms by text, from a verified phone number, that they applied.
3Confirm they want a call.
The same text confirmation records that they want a call from your team. Only confirmed borrowers move forward.
4Gather the paperwork.
Alauda gathers what the file needs based on your loan product, so the right questions are asked the first time.
5Check the fit.
Before your officer spends an hour on a file, Alauda checks it against your own portfolio. Your licensed officer advises. We make sure the file is worth their hour.
6Make a thoughtful handoff.
Your officer receives the borrower's relevant context and confirmed agreement to a call.
We don't score leads.
"Spam lead" can describe three very different things: a bot, someone paid to fill out forms, or a real person who clicked without planning to borrow. A single lead score can hide those differences. We handle each one differently and show your officers what happened, so they can focus on borrowers who confirmed by text that they want a call.
How we charge
You pay for what works, not for activity.
A borrower counts when they verify their phone number, confirm they applied, and agree to a call from your officer. If they do not complete all three steps, they are not counted.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
There are no shared lists. Each borrower comes to your office through your brand and is never shared with anyone else.
Before anyone contacts them, every borrower gives express written consent and confirms a phone number we have verified. We retain the consent and contact records.
Alauda does not quote rates, pull credit, or advise borrowers. Your licensed loan officer does the advising. We support the finding, confirmation, and paperwork.
We start with one working session to understand your markets, loan products, and monthly cap. Then we prepare your launch.
Your licensed officers remain responsible for advising borrowers. During the demo, we'll discuss the handoff and your team's current process.
