Automation of the underwriting process was one of the biggest leaps forward in the modern mortgage era, ensuring consistent, fair and secure lending after the financial crisis. But the many benefits of using automated underwriting systems – required for agency loans – have not been available at an affordable price to lenders and investors who keep loans in portfolio. For these non-agency loans, many financial institutions still rely completely on a manual process, which increases risk and leaves many high-quality loan opportunities on the table.
LoanScorecard solves this problem with its Portfolio Underwriter solution, the only non-agency AUS available today. This revolutionary solution enables direct lenders, wholesalers and investors to confidently, consistently and securely deploy more capital and distribute differentiating lending products to this underserved and growing market.
“Underwriting each folder manually is at high risk of human error, time-consuming and expensive, and can be problematic to handle exceptions consistently and without unintended bias,” said Executive Director Ben Wu. By running the Portfolio Underwriter engine with LoanScorecard, you control your credit risk profile and documentation requirements. We are the only technology/underwriting engine capable of executing the guidelines of your specific lending programs. »
Portfolio Underwriter provides originators and underwriters with a single, detailed report bearing their company logo and information. It also includes detailed underwriting analysis based on specific credit policies and criteria.
