In this post, we'll discuss why businesses should digitize lending processes and provide a step-by-step guide on how to do so.

Process Mapping

The first step to digitizing loan processes is process mapping. Businesses need to understand each stage of the loan process in order to determine which tasks can be automated and which require human engagement. Outline the details of each specific process within the lending workflow, from start to finish. Include all steps in the process, who will be responsible for them, and what information needs to be collected or generated at each step. The purpose of this is to clearly define the loan process from beginning to end so that it can be easily understood by everyone involved. This will also help identify potential areas of improvement or automation opportunities that may exist within the existing loan processes.  

Configuration

Once a process map has been created, it's time to configure your loan origination system (LOS). An LOS is a software system used by financial institutions to manage customer data and automate certain aspects of the lending process. By properly configuring your LOS you can ensure that customer data is collected correctly and quickly; ultimately reducing manual entry errors while improving efficiency and accuracy throughout your organization’s entire loan origination lifecycle.

Pre-Qualification & Intake Document Collection

Once your LOS is configured correctly it's time to focus on pre-qualifying customers for loans as well as collecting any necessary intake documents, such as bank statements or tax returns. This can be done by leveraging Moxo's Client Interaction Workspaces. Moxo enables you to structure customer projects by blending automation with human engagement so that you can quickly move through the pre-qualification stage as efficiently as possible.

Underwriting & Decisioning

Once all necessary information has been gathered it’s time for underwriting and decisioning on whether or not the customer should receive a loan offer. Leveraging Moxo’s interaction workflows allows lenders to provide service to clients, and quickly track the status of thousands of applicants, while  simultaneously while establishing audit trails for compliance purposes – drastically reducing processing times while increasing accuracy.

Tracking & Reporting

The final step in digitizing your lending processes is tracking & reporting on how successful your efforts have been thus far.
