DigiFi vs TurnKey Lender (2026)
A lender weighing DigiFi against TurnKey Lender is deciding how much of a loan's life one vendor should run. DigiFi covers origination: applications, deposit account opening, a decision engine lenders configure without code and a generative AI agent that completes tasks inside each application. TurnKey Lender follows the loan past approval into servicing, collections and reporting, and its AI scorecards and lender rules can approve automatically or route an application to secondary review. Cost reads very differently. DigiFi prices its platform publicly at $3,995 a month with users, applications and AI credits included, while TurnKey Lender licenses by portfolio size and platform functionality and quotes on request. TurnKey Lender carries the heavier security file, listing SOC 1 and SOC 2 Type II reports, ISO/IEC 27001:2022, two cloud privacy and security standards and the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard, where DigiFi states SOC 2 Type II. DigiFi gives more choice over where the system runs, from shared cloud to a private AWS region or on premises. Neither describes fair lending or disparate impact testing of the decisions its software automates, and neither says whether one lender's repayment outcomes improve models another lender uses.
- A budget line has to exist before the first demo. DigiFi publishes its platform fee, the users, applications and AI credits it includes, and the overage rate for each beyond that.
- Examiners or the board want data held in a chosen location. DigiFi offers private hosting in the lender's preferred AWS region or installation on the lender's own premises.
- Checking, savings and business accounts need the same digital front door as loans. DigiFi runs its account opening system on the same platform as its loan origination system.
- Staff want help with the paperwork inside each file rather than another screen. DigiFi's agent verifies documents and extracts data within application tasks, and pauses to ask when an input it needs is missing.
- Servicing and collections should sit with the vendor that originates the loan. TurnKey Lender runs loan servicing, loan management and debt collection modules on one platform.
- Many applicants have thin credit files. TurnKey Lender scores from alternative sources such as bank statements, mobile data and psychometric data alongside bureau records.
- Vendor risk reviewers expect a stack of attestations and certificates. TurnKey Lender lists SOC 1 Type II, SOC 2 Type II, ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and the card industry's data security standard, and offers its information security policy for download.
- Underwriting rules change often and must go live quickly. TurnKey Lender's decision management system lets lenders configure, test and deploy new strategies within hours rather than months.

Common questions
Which of the two can a lender price without a sales call?
DigiFi can. Its pricing page lists the monthly platform fee with 10 team members, 3,000 applications and 10,000 AI credits included, then $95 per added user, $0.25 per added application and $0.01 per added credit. TurnKey Lender offers several licensing models based on portfolio size and platform functionality, and its figures come from its sales team.

How much of the credit decision does each automate?
TurnKey Lender's scorecard and decision rules can approve applications automatically at risk scores the lender selects, or send them for secondary review by origination, underwriting and servicing staff. DigiFi's decision engine runs the lender's own rules and models, while its agent handles the document and data work around the decision, automatically by default or with confirmations in guided mode. In both, on the AI FinTech Index's reading, the oversight setting is left to the lender rather than fixed by the vendor.
Does either test automated decisions for fair lending outcomes?
Neither publishes disparate impact testing or a method for producing adverse action reasons. The gap weighs more where alternative and psychometric inputs feed the score, as they can on TurnKey Lender, and where an agent sets underwriting tasks to done or failed on its own, as DigiFi's can in automatic mode. Graded by AI FinTech Index against the same capability axes from each vendor's own published materials, verified October 13, 2026. No vendor pays for placement.
What security evidence does each put forward?
TurnKey Lender lists SOC 1 Type II and SOC 2 Type II, ISO/IEC 27001:2022 with 27017 and 27018, and the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard, logs every user and system action, and publishes its information security policy. DigiFi states SOC 2 Type II compliance and 99.90 percent uptime backed by service level agreements, with single sign on, two factor authentication, change logs and a testing mode before production.
