Reduce Loan Cycle Time to Deliver Improved Borrower Experience The Mortgage Lender Sentiment Survey Special Topics Report compiled and published by Fannie Mae, captured lenders’ responses on how they assess their digital transformation efforts in the business. The underlying context in doing so was to understand how digital transformational efforts are impacting the borrower experience that lenders are providing. The report mentions how lenders are spending their time, money, and energy on enhancing the front-end consumer experience along with the back-end operational efficiency. According to the report, 36% of lenders participating in the survey believe that enhancing front-end consumer experience and improving back-end operational efficiency are equally important in today’s lending environment. And they are making significant efforts in both areas to improve the overall buying experience of its borrowers. Their priorities while doing so are reducing cycle time, providing more user- friendly loan application platforms, and training personnel to be consultative towards their borrowers. While you may need to invest in training your personnel and signing up with loan application platforms, reducing loan cycle time is absolutely a great way to initiate your digital transformation efforts. Using technology to reduce Loan Cycle Time To reduce loan cycle time, a lender needs to continually analyze the redundant processes in their operational workflow and find ways to automate them. It is also possible to find a service provider company that involves itself in this
process regularly. The investments in technology and talent may be significant, which may be a deterring factor for most lenders; That is why we see a trend of lenders and their service providers partnering with technology providers to integrate and expand their usability.
