Before

The Challenge

Before ConnectFI, the bank relied on paper applications, which frequently came back incomplete and required manual follow-up to collect missing documentation. The team specifically wanted to improve the application process itself, not just document collection.

After

The ConnectFI Solution

ConnectFI enabled electronic data collection and gave loan officers the ability to start an application and push it out to the borrower to complete. Loan officers and processors can now gather information independently of one another, without waiting on a single point of contact.
