Short answers.
Does AnchorBind make the underwriting decision?
No. Your team stays in charge. AnchorBind gives them one more clear fact.
Do protected files have to leave our environment?
No. A planned customer-hosted Private Node can run the API, check, storage, and audit record inside your approved environment.
Does a match mean there is no fraud?
No. It means the two documents match. It does not make a legal or fraud decision.
