Fintech firm Sikoia has announced a new partnership with property finance provider HomeNow.

As part of the move, Sikoia’s technology will be embedded directly within the HomeNow platform, automating verification processes and enabling a faster customer journey.

HomeNow said it selected Sikoia’s AI-powered verification platform to automate document processing across income, employment, and affordability assessment – replacing manual review with real-time verification and analysis.

Alongside automated document processes, HomeNow is also accessing additional data services through the Sikoia platform, including identity verification, consumer credit reporting, and anti-money laundering screening.

COO at HomeNow, Gareth Ship, said: “Partnering with Sikoia supports our goal of delivering a transparent and accessible route to homeownership.

“Automating verification and compliance checks as part of our own digital platform allows us to progress applications faster, reduce manual touchpoints, and give customers a clearer, more consistent experience as they pursue their path to ownership.”

Sikoia founder and CEO, Alexis Rog, added: “HomeNow is taking an automation-first approach to helping more people onto the housing ladder. We’re excited to partner with them to unify income, affordability, and compliance checks in one platform, improving the applicant experience while supporting their rapid growth.”
