More than ever, lenders and others in the mortgage industry are looking for cutting-edge fintech to cultivate borrower relationships, streamline their processes and keep business flowing.
To help sharpen industry decision makers’ toolboxes, HousingWire will hold its first virtual demo day this Friday. The half-day afternoon format, which is free to attend, features platform demonstrations from 14 innovative tech companies. Attendees can tune in for the whole day or drop in on particular sessions.
The agenda is broken into five topics: borrower relationships and leads, loan origination process, processing and underwriting, eclose and fulfillment, and business intelligence and risk management.
Here’s an overview of each technology:
