Foreign Income Assessment by Lenders
Different lenders tend to assess foreign income differently. Typically, here’s what lenders will consider –
| Assessment Factor | What It Means for You |
|---|---|
| Income shading | Lenders may discount foreign income by 10–30% to allow for currency fluctuations |
| Stability of currency | Strong, stable currencies may be accepted at full value |
| Verification quality | Foreign payslips, bank statements & tax reports must be consistent |
| Translation needs | Some documents may require certified translation |
VOXFIN handles document preparation, translation guidance and lender communication.
