LASER COMPLY
Every credit decision your team makes sits inside a web of federal requirements — FCRA, ECOA, GLBA, OFAC, BSA/AML, and now CFPB Section 1033. COMPLY embeds those safeguards directly into your Salesforce credit workflow, so compliance happens as a dependable part of the process — not a scramble before the exam.
Trust in every decision with built-in regulatory safeguards.

Most lenders don’t fail exams because they don’t know the rules. They fail because the evidence lives everywhere except the loan file: permissible purpose documented in one system, OFAC checks in a spreadsheet, score factors buried in a PDF report, access controls managed by hand.
And the risk isn’t limited to missing paperwork. Consider a synthetic identity: when an applicant fabricates an identity from fragments of a real person’s data and you pull credit on it, you are actually running the credit of someone else — a real consumer who never applied, never consented, and for whom you have no permissible purpose. That is a violation of the FCRA. Without identity verification sequenced before the pull, your workflow can commit that violation without anyone on your team ever knowing.
When compliance is separate from the workflow, it depends on people remembering. When it’s embedded in the workflow, it depends on the process — and the process runs the same way every time.
The philosophy behind COMPLY:Consistency of process. Identical loans scored identically — and documented identically.
What it automates
Six regulatory frameworks, each expressed as a step in the workflow rather than a policy your team has to remember to follow.
Every credit request through LASER carries a configured permissible purpose code, transmitted to the bureau and recorded in Salesforce. There is no path to an undocumented pull — the purpose is part of the request itself, and the Credit Report Log preserves the audit trail automatically.
Permissible purpose has a second dimension most lenders overlook: it must attach to the right consumer. If an applicant presents a synthetic identity and you pull credit on it, you are running the credit of someone else — a real person who never applied and never consented. That is an FCRA violation, because you have no permissible purpose as to that consumer. COMPLY protects your legal basis by letting identity verification and screening gate the credit request, so the pull happens only after you’ve confirmed who is actually applying.
When a report comes back, the score factors and reason codes your adverse action notices depend on are parsed into clear Salesforce fields on the applicant’s record — not left inside a raw report attachment. Your team has transparent, consistent access to the information Regulation B and FCRA notices require, for every applicant, every time. Paired with automated underwriting, the rule path that produced the decision is recorded alongside it.
COMPLY runs restricted-party screening against the U.S. Consolidated Screening List, maintained by the International Trade Administration, directly in Salesforce. Configure it to run automatically with every credit request — or to require a clear result before the credit report can be pulled at all. Watchlist screening becomes a sequenced, enforced step, with every result stored on the record. For the underlying obligations, see our lender’s guide to AML and KYC requirements.
The Safeguards Rule expects you to control who can see customer information. LASER’s permission model enforces it: role-based access determines who can run and view reports, and personal credit reports are visible only to the user who pulled them. And because of LASER’s zero-intermediary architecture, borrower data flows directly between your Salesforce org and the bureau — consumer credit data and borrower PII never pass through LASER-operated infrastructure. Fewer places data lives, fewer places it can leak. Our FTC Safeguards Rule compliance framework walks through all nine requirements of 16 CFR 314.4.
Section 1033 is pushing the industry toward consumer data ownership and away from intermediaries that warehouse borrower information. LASER’s architecture was built that way from the start: your institution holds the data, in your org, under your controls. There is no LASER-side data store to reconcile, disclose, or defend.
Regular account reviews and audit preparation don’t have to be manual. Portfolio Review runs bulk credit pulls across many records at once — designed for portfolio analysis, periodic compliance checks, and generating a clean audit trail on demand.
Why it ships ready
Every safeguard on this page ships pre-built and pre-configured — installed from the Salesforce AppExchange, not assembled by your IT team or a consultant. More than 150 financial institutions — banks, credit unions, mortgage lenders, fintechs, and CDFIs — run their credit and compliance workflow on LASER today.
COMPLY works alongside the other two engines of the LASER suite: ACCESS aggregates credit and identity data from Experian, Equifax, TransUnion, and Plaid, and DECIDE applies consistent, auditable decisioning rules. Together they streamline the entire lending lifecycle — data, decision, and compliance — in Salesforce.
COMPLY pairs with ACCESS (data) and DECIDE (decisioning) to handle the full lending lifecycle inside Salesforce. See the complete picture.
Frequently asked questions
No. COMPLY embeds regulatory safeguards into your credit workflow — screening, permissible purpose, access controls, and audit trails — so your program runs consistently. Your policies, training, and legal interpretations remain yours; consult your legal counsel to confirm your institution's specific obligations.
Yes. Credit unions are among the 150+ institutions using LASER, and the same embedded safeguards — FCRA permissible purpose, OFAC screening, GLBA-aligned access controls, and audit trails — apply to credit union examination requirements.
Two ways: enforced role-based access to customer information inside Salesforce, and a zero-intermediary architecture in which borrower data never passes through LASER's infrastructure — reducing your third-party data footprint. Read our FTC Safeguards Rule compliance framework for the full picture.
Yes. COMPLY can be configured so the credit report is pulled only when the OFAC check returns no match; otherwise the pull is stopped and an error log is created for review.
No. Consumer credit data and borrower PII flow directly between your Salesforce org and the data source. LASER-operated infrastructure never stores or passes borrower data — proper data ownership stays with you and your borrower.
