Broker & assisted onboarding too

The Loanworks origination solution accommodates broker and assisted lending too. Your customers can apply through a broker, in a branch, through a call centre or with a mobile lender.

And because it’s an entirely omnichannel solution, your customer can come to you for assistance even after starting their application elsewhere (e.g. on their mobile), and you can pick up where they left off.

True straight-through processing (STP)

Handling origination manually is a capital-intensive process. It requires a larger headcount, it’s slow and inefficient, and it suffers from an excessive error rate. So you spend way too much time manually troubleshooting, gathering information and fixing mistakes. More importantly, your cost to serve increases with every borrower, which makes scaling a difficult and risky process.

The Loanworks origination solution is a true, straight-through processing (STP) solution. For example, here’s how it works when your customer applies for a home loan directly on their mobile phone…
