Mortgage & Lending

Partnering with Elding Digital equips your team for continuous innovation.

The mortgage & lending landscape evolves rapidly. Shifting borrower expectations, fintech disruptors, complex regulations and fluctuating markets bring new challenges daily. In this environment, adaptability is key to gaining an edge.

Today’s borrowers demand speed, convenience and personalized guidance on their terms – whenever, wherever. To attract and retain customers, lenders must deliver seamless digital experiences while still providing white-glove service.

Our flexible consulting approach keeps your Salesforce platform aligned to market dynamics and borrower needs.

Why Partner with Elding Digital?

We understand the mortgage & lending business inside and out. Many lenders come to us aiming to utilize emerging tech, but their overloaded teams often spend their days maintaining legacy systems, leaving little time to pilot leading-edge solutions.

This reactive posture causes missed opportunities to leverage technology to take borrowers from application to closing faster and with an improved experience. Without room to think ahead, lenders risk falling further behind as digitally-savvy competitors reshape the mortgage landscape.

Leveraging our expertise, we can help you optimize processes to close loans faster, empower loan officers with insights, manage risk proactively, and drive sustainable growth. 

With an adaptable Salesforce platform, your business can handle any emerging lending challenge while also strengthening client relationships.

How Elding DigitalCan Help

While each of our clients is unique, we see general patterns in opportunities for mortgage and other lenders to improve customer & user expierence. Some of our most common Salesforce enhancement requests include:

Help me Action my Leads Faster

In the competitive lending environment, speed is critical when engaging with prospective borrowers. The longer a lead sits idle, the greater the chance that borrower will go with a rival lender. Rapid response times build trust and demonstrate commitment to providing an exceptional borrowing experience. Elding Digital can help make sure your Salesforce org is fully utilizing automation, real-time lead scoring, and other platform capabilities to capitalize on leads faster.

Increase my Referrals

Not only do referred leads convert at a higher rate, but they are more cost-effective than other lead generation approaches. To maximize referrals, lenders must nurture relationships with centers of influence like real estate agents, financial advisors, and home builders. Elding will work with you to optimize Salesforce to identify referral opportunities, build a digital referral capability, and track referrer effectiveness & rewards.  We can also help you gain greater visibility into referral networks and partnerships so that no opportunities fall through the cracks.

Streamline my Application Process

A smoother, faster application process delivers better borrower experiences which drives growth. Elding can help you streamline your application process right on the Salesforce platform allowing your borrowers to apply anytime, anywhere via user-friendly digital interfaces. Once the application is submitted, we can reduce the effort to collect documentation with automation saving your customers time and frustration.

Enhance the Data Exchange with my LOS

Manual data re-entry from Salesforce to your LOS is slow, costly, and error prone. Integration back to Salesforce from your LOS delivers critical borrower insights to your lenders to personalize borrower interactions during and after the underwriting process.  Elding can establish or enhance integration between Salesforce and your LOS; often by leveraging the broad library of pre-built LOS integrations or through a custom integration to Salesforce’s APIs.

Help me Recruit and Retain Top Performing Lenders

Recruiting and retaining top-tier mortgage loan officers is key for lenders to gain a competitive edge. Top performers want to be with a lender that is going to invest in technology and tools to maximize their efficiency and productivity.  Elding will partner with you to determine where you should invest for the greatest impact.

Ensure we are Compliant with the Latest Regulations

Staying compliant with the latest mortgage & lending regulations is crucial – noncompliance risks hefty fines and damages your reputation. But frequently changing rules like reporting & disclosure requirements can overwhelm lending teams. Elding can help keep your process and platform compliant by implementing solutions such as automated loan document checklists, disclosure tracking, and audit trails to give your lending teams confidence they are staying on the right side of regulators.

How Elding DigitalCan Help

While each of our clients is unique, we see general patterns in opportunities for mortgage and other lenders to improve customer & user experience. Some of our most common Salesforce enhancement requests include:

Help me Action my Leads Faster

Traditional banks & credit unions face growing pressure when competing with digital-first challengers. Customers today expect seamless digital experiences including effective & user-friendly self-service options, fast digital account & loan origination, and omni-channel service. Rather than playing catch-up, we can help you deliver continuous innovation to provide best-in-class digital experiences wherever you are in your journey.

Increase my Referrals

You have invested in your branch network, now make it pay-off by using in-person interactions to uncover deeper customer needs for lending, wealth management, or treasury & payment services. Guide your branch staff though information gathering prompts & empower them to make insightful recommendations by surfacing data-driven insights and recommendations directly on their screen during customer interactions.

Streamline my Application Process

Your contact center can be the main point of engagement for many of your members or customers. Contact center processes and technology have been evolving quickly, along with your customer’s expectations. Elding can help you sort-out what contact center approaches are right for you – from real-time transcription & AI assistance to service automation & intelligent swarming.

Enhance the Data Exchange with my LOS

Banks & credit unions that are more proactive with customer engagement increase satisfaction, deepen relationships, & prevent attrition.  But the benefits of being proactive don’t end with growth. Elding can also help you detect early signs of dissatisfaction or fraud, enabling you to address concerns or risks quickly.

Help me Recruit and Retain Top Performing Lenders

Banks are increasingly operating on thinning margins. Successfully identifying which existing customers would be a good fit for upselling opportunities such as converting checking to money market, adding a protection plan to credit cards, or moving business customers to more full-featured accounts can be a key to profitability. Elding can help you align your financial products & services with stated & implied customer goals to drive additional deposits or borrowing. 

Ensure we are Compliant with the Latest Regulations

The regulatory landscape keeps evolving. Banks & credit unions must continually monitor changes and assess implications. Adapting your business princess and Salesforce platform to new regulatory requirements requires an understanding of the industry and the technology. Elding can help you navigate the ongoing changes in areas such as data privacy and security, fair lending, and consumer protection.
