How to reconnect Locked or Not Connected bank accounts – Blend Help Center

Learn how to assist borrowers with reconnecting Locked or Not Connected accounts.

Verify that the account is Locked or Not Connected

First, verify that the account(s) are Locked or Not Connected on the lender side of the application.

Navigate to Assets in the Application tab.
Click Refresh Assets.
Confirm that the account status is Locked or Not Connected.
Request an Asset Statement follow up. Be sure to choose the Connect account(s) option, this will allow borrowers to re-connect their accounts.

Note: Refreshing Locked or Not Connected accounts will request an Account Statements follow up where the borrower is asked to upload a copy of their account statements instead of the connection flow.

Tip: To simplify the process, you may prefer to remove the asset account from the Assets section on the lender side of the application by clicking X Remove. This way, when the borrower completes the Asset Statement task, they'll only have the option to add and connect the account from scratch resulting in newly generated asset statements.
