VAS launches new API

A year in the making, the VAS Lender API is a tool for lenders, aimed at enabling management of valuation requests through technology.

This system is designed to reduce manual effort, minimise errors, and optimise workflows, while supporting lender growth and scalability.

The API provides real-time updates via webhook notifications, with communication customisable and streamlined, with lenders able to choose how much of their process to integrate with the API.

The API has already been launched with several existing clients.

Stephen Todd, co-founder and CCO at VAS (pictured above), commented: “This is a really important step for VAS as we recognise our clients are investing significantly in their technology infrastructure to provide their clients and broker partners a more efficient experience.

“We now have the ability to support our clients by making the valuation process manageable via their own platforms.

“We can also extract information that was previously not available, and send this straight into our customers’ internal systems, further enabling them to better manage their loan book and cut down on manual entry.”

Ian Furlong, CTO of VAS, added: “As lenders grow and adopt more sophisticated technology, the API ensures they can scale their operations without having to move off their platform to get valuation quotes, instruct, and monitor progress—ultimately creating the feeling of VAS being an extension of their business.

“Beyond efficiency, the system fosters accuracy and integration, ensuring smoother operations and higher reliability throughout the valuation process.”

The news follows VAS Assurance’s rebrand to Validate after 10 years in business.
