The Challenge

The bank's previous online application system had stopped working, leaving no way to take applications online and no way for customers to upload supporting documents. Applications and documents had been collected through that legacy inquiry system until it broke down.

After

The ConnectFI Solution

ConnectFI restored the bank's online intake capability and improved on it. Any team member can now see the real-time status of a loan, customers can upload documents directly, and tasks are generated automatically so customers know upfront what they'll likely be asked to provide. Each department also uses tasks as a compliance checklist of the documents needed to complete a file, and the built-in notes system keeps a running record on every application.

Key Outcomes

As reported by the bank.

Somewhat reduced manual work and duplicate entry

Improved the customer experience

Somewhat more complete applications and documentation

Also reported
  • Better internal handoffs between departments, with shared visibility into application status
