Mortgage loan processing has always consisted of a multitude of time-consuming data entry and manual processes. Prone to errors and generally inefficient, it was the only option available to mortgage offices for many years. Digital transformation has enabled the mortgage industry to automate the various loan process tasks, from the loan application to the discharging of the mortgage. It frees up mortgage specialists to focus on the customer, lending process improvement, and handling tasks better suited to their experience and skills.
Customers and the company brand also benefit from mortgage process automation. With the ability to automatically supply clients with real-time information, approve or deny applications, and complete other essential tasks, customers will get answers when they need them and spend less time waiting. Financial services providers will enjoy higher customer satisfaction with fewer demands on mortgage lenders, and everyone wins.
Through Robotic Process Automation (RPA), mortgage processing automation has become exceptionally popular in the mortgage, banking, and finance industries, specifically for the wide range of benefits it provides throughout the loan lifecycle. In addition to handling loan origination tasks, it can handle document processing, customer relations management software, accounting business rules and regulations, cash flow processes, and much more. As a result, just a few of the benefits include:
Reduced Processing Costs
A mixture of RPA and AI allows for automated mortgage processing programs, such as Automation Anywhere’s Document Automation, to reduce hours and processing costs. Current employees aren’t flooded with new co-workers or additional stress, processes are handled automatically, and the company runs more efficiently with less man hours.
Better Customer and Employee Experience
A more efficient company translates into a more positive experience for employees and clients. With borrowers getting answers faster, in a language they can understand, this 24/7 automatic support means they can access solutions when they need them. The staff is happy, the customers are happy, and the company prospers.
Eliminate Errors
Repetitive manual tasks are highly prone to human errors regardless of training or experience. Implementing a mortgage automation platform allows employees to avoid repetitive, error-prone tasks. This frees them up to focus on more important actions, make more accurate decisions, improve loan portfolios, and eliminate risks.
Detect and Fight Fraud
Fraud cases have increased exponentially. Mortgage lending RPA can quickly help identify and diminish fraud attempts while eliminating or minimizing losses. It's a Loss Origination System (LOS) you can rely on.
Higher Compliance
Regulations and regulatory bodies have changed a lot in the last few years. Adapting and meeting the needs of those systems means keeping up with those changes. Mortgage processing automation can help you create audit trails for improved compliance and better error detection.
Improved Forecasting and Decision Making
With automated mortgage processing, you can easily predict revenues and losses. Armed with this knowledge, in addition to more comprehensive borrower databases and insights, you're in a better position to make decisions and decide where to dedicate time and resources.
