The Challenges

After analyzing the client’s underwriting inefficiencies, we implemented MSuite to automate several key processes:

  • Lack of quality metrics for benchmarking.
  • Declining underwriting productivity.
  • Errors in income and asset calculations.
  • High rates of poor-quality loans and denials.
  • A significant backlog of loans requires immediate attention.

The Solutions

The client experienced significant enhancements in their underwriting operations, including:

  • Automated loan file indexing and data extraction using MSuite.

  • Ensured income calculations met current credit capacity requirements.
  • Supported property valuations with legitimate comparables.
  • Developed tailored questionnaires to validate customer data accuracy.
