Loan originations forms a key part of the customer journey for any lending product, from buying your first home to applying for a personal loan. This part of the journey is typically where the relationship is formed between the customer and the lender and acts as the ‘first impression’ – therefore, having a loan origination platform that enables a seamless onboarding and makes the customer’s experience as pleasant as possible is paramount for setting the tone of the relationship between customer and lender.
There are a few key factors that set the great loan origination platforms aside from the rest and enable a superior customer journey.
Configurability
The loan originations process will vary depending on the asset class, and even between differing products within the same asset class. Therefore, a loan origination platform that enables customisation within the onboarding process is key to creating a bespoke customer journey based on both asset class and customer demographic.
Lenders want to drive how their originations process flows based on the market they are targeting and the product they are delivering; being able to alter critical questions within the journey and where and when data is pulled in from exterior sources gives lenders this capability. Furthermore, platforms can be configured based on consumer behaviour research; delivering an onboarding process to the customer which suits their exact requirements.
Integration
In essence, loan originations is all about capturing customer data and validating this against a set of unique credit requirements. Typically, this data will reside on various platforms and sources. A loan origination platform that enables data to be transferred via automation that reduces manual inputs from customers and lenders will be successful in an environment where automation is king.
There are so many opportunities within the loan origination journey for automation via integration with services such as Open Banking, Automated Valuations, Automated Decisioning etc. The platforms that leverage this integration capability within their platform are likely to be the ones that lenders lean towards when selecting a partner.
Scalability
The lending market is a dynamic environment, particularly over the last few years with external factors influencing interest rates so heavily. To remain competitive, lenders must be agile to changing market conditions. This capability relies on having a platform that enables change at speed, new product launches and enables scale when required.
Furthermore, new entrants will also require a loan origination platform that enables scale and can keep up with their growth ambitions in order to be competitive in a highly saturated market where the margins are often so small.
