lol, watermarking statements aren't going to stop someone from funding the deal

I agree, it does not stop theft, it deters it.
I added some more context below.

[JT@Symplifi]

Yes, it does. It also prevents packages from being sold. Happy to hop on a call to discuss further if you're running an ISO shop. Enjoy your Monday.

Can it restrict documents being opened outside of a fixed IP or domain etc?

Can it restrict documents being opened outside of a fixed IP or domain etc?

Good question.

That feature doesn’t currently exist — mainly because most brokers are submitting files to multiple lenders, each with their own IPs or domains.

Restricting access to a fixed IP or domain sounds good in theory, but in practice, it would break the workflow.

Instead, Aquamark focuses on visible, tamper-resistant watermarking that travels with the file and deters theft without disrupting how or where deals get submitted.

I hope that helps.

Id imagine these dudes committing felonies to get deals will not be stopped by a watermark.

So your saying felons committing felonies are not going to be deterred by a watermark.....

I can watermark documents in Adobe Acrobat, which I can buy a license for off of ebay for $6. What does Aquamark bring to the table that would justify an ongoing cost?

[abfunders]

FYI: Adobe Acrobat for $6 is probably a stolen/pirated license, even if they say it's for an older version. However, you can get a lifetime license with Firefox for $129.

I'm sure it is so let's use your lifetime license for $129 as a baseline vs the $6 pirated version. Still begs the question what the value proposition is for Aquamark as a product.

Also would like to hear the answer to this. Not about the cost, just what does the service provide that adds value on top of Adobe?

[Oxforddan]

i am waiting on the same answer as well

Got watermarked banks today! This must be picking up. ISO who subbed it wasn't the 1 watermarked. This won't slow anything down.

By tagging each file, Aquamark gives users visibility, making it clear which brokers and lenders had access, and when.

Will watermarking stop deal theft, backdooring, and bad actors? No.

Do security systems stop every home invasion? Also no.

But they deter the behavior and more importantly, it will draw a clear line between those operating transparently and those who aren’t.

Can you answer the previous questions? What type of value does this offer above and beyond using a service like Adobe?

[Aquamark]

Aquamark ROI

Average deal size = $35,000
Average points = 10
Average margin per deal = $3,500
Aquamark cost = $250 per month

Saving just one deal pays for the entire ~year.

Thank you for the question — it's a valid one.

From what I understand, Adobe requires users to manually apply watermarks, which can be time-consuming for high-volume workflows. Aquamark is built specifically for automation and traceability. Through our portal, users can drag and drop multiple PDFs at once, and our open API allows for seamless integration with CRMs or internal tools.

More importantly, Aquamark provides visibility — making it easy to track which brokers and lenders accessed each file, and when. That level of transparency isn’t something Adobe offers out of the box.

Are you a funder? How do you intend to handle that situation out of curiosity?

[Patrick1puleo]

Question, If I use your product will the lender mark the bank statements for Fraud? This technically counts as an altered statement. Please advise

[Mh]

Are you a funder? How do you intend to handle that situation out of curiosity?

Yes, my job is to fund my isos deal. As long as they don't do anything to harm my business who am I to turn away from them? In a few months you'll be irrelevant for isos funding b-d paper. Isos whose gross volume is A paper will benefit from this since a paper funders have more barriers to entry and submission.

Hey ! Saw the article recently with fundkite. We built a way to add the FUNDER NAME to the submission. Now, if they backdoor the deal we know WHICH funder leaked it.

We put out the open source code. The first link is to GITHUB, with a log in you can get the code to build yourself - the 2nd link is a ready to use API.

For more info email our Tech guy MAHI at

P.s. this my original Account - company name Pathway Catalyst

Hope this is able to help brokers out there. No way to eliminate backdooring unless we work together.

All the best,
Tom

A fintech tool run by a failed broker.

Steven baron the angel is a scammer.

I wouldn't put it past aquamark if they re sold packages themselves.

[fundinggrasshopper]

Watermarking statements IMO is one big racket where the broker and the funder have to both sign on to the idea of only running deals with the correct watermark and as a broker you are basically saying I will no longer buy packages anymore. Just to make the watermarking company some money and give you as the broker or lender some fake moral justification.

Doesnt really make much sense as if my packages come with no watermarks on the statements than makes the whole process somewhat redundant. There's probably a bunch of programmers somewhere working for package resellers right now figuring out how to just take the watermarks off and remove the data in the document that shows who the "correct" broker is.

And Mhelman is correct , since this is a racket, that both the broker and the funder must both sign on to before it has a chance of being effective, the higher risk funders & brokers simply just will not sign on to the whole idea of it. Brokers that focus on A Paper volume and A-B paper lenders may benefit in some ways from signing on to this watermarking thing but isn't it true that there is much less active backdooring when dealing with the best lenders ?

Even A-B paper lenders notorious for backdooring or having multiple Isos on the same offer -- If there is so much competition on their offers that it benefits them to give the same 1M offer to 5 brokers, How on earth would it benefit them to implement these watermarking policies like fundkite did?

Would be very interested to learn more about how it can track who accesses each file and when. How does it track this? By email? By IP address, or MAC address? How does it then take that data to say on the user end, hey, this guy at this company I did not provide the document to, is accessing the document.

Seems a bit wishful
