Applications represent the credit application for a borrower. 
Applications must be created for a given borrower, and one borrower can have many applications. 
Once an application is created, it must either be approved or rejected.
Creating a borrower (or referencing an existing one) is the first step in the Pier credit origination process.


Pier's rate limit is set to 1,000 requests per minute. 
The limit applies to both the sandbox and production environments.
