Loan applications are long, multi-step processes that users frequently abandon. A personal loan application might require income verification, employment history, credit check consent, document uploads, and bank account linking. Deep links can bring users back to complete each step, and pre-qualification deep links can drive users from marketing directly to a personalized offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This guide covers deep linking patterns for lending and loan apps. For KYC-specific flows, see KYC flow deep links<\/a>. For banking onboarding, see banking app onboarding deep links<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pre-Qualification Deep Links<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Pre-qualification is the top-of-funnel entry point. Marketing campaigns should deep link to pre-qualification with product context:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From a Marketing Email<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<p>You may be pre-qualified for a personal loan up to $25,000.<\/p>\n<p>Check your rate in 2 minutes. No impact on your credit score.<\/p>\n<a href="https:\/\/links.lendingapp.com\/prequalify\/personal">\n  Check Your Rate\n<\/a>\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
From a Paid Ad<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The deep link from an ad should include campaign attribution:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
https:\/\/links.lendingapp.com\/prequalify\/personal?utm_source=facebook&utm_campaign=personal-loan-q3\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
From a Partner Website<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
When a partner (e.g., a car dealership) links to your app for auto loan pre-qualification:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
https:\/\/links.lendingapp.com\/prequalify\/auto?partner=smith-auto&vehicle=2026-toyota-camry\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
The partner and vehicle parameters can be used to pre-fill application fields and attribute the lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Application Recovery Deep Links<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Step-Specific Recovery<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
When a user abandons at a specific step, deep link them back to that step:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
func handleApplicationDeepLink(_ url: URL) {\n    guard authManager.isAuthenticated else {\n        pendingDeepLink = url\n        showLogin()\n        return\n    }\n\n    let segments = url.pathComponents\n\n    \/\/ \/apply\/{app-id}\/step\/{step-name}\n    if segments.contains("step"), let appId = segments[safe: 2], let stepName = segments.last {\n        let application = applicationManager.getApplication(appId)\n\n        guard let app = application else {\n            showError("Application not found.")\n            return\n        }\n\n        guard app.status == .inProgress else {\n            showApplicationStatus(app)\n            return\n        }\n\n        navigateToStep(app, step: stepName)\n    }\n    \/\/ \/apply\/{app-id}\/documents\n    else if segments.contains("documents"), let appId = segments[safe: 2] {\n        showDocumentUpload(applicationId: appId)\n    }\n    \/\/ \/apply (resume latest)\n    else {\n        if let latestApp = applicationManager.getLatestInProgress() {\n            resumeApplication(latestApp)\n        } else {\n            showProductSelection()\n        }\n    }\n}\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n

Document Upload Deep Links<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
