In this episode of Lykken on Lending David will interview a special guest for the Hot Topic segment with the aim of having a discussion on how Digital Mortgage and user experience need to go hand in hand in improving underwriting, creating more satisfied borrowers, and more happy and productive employees.
Many lenders have been migrating to technology-driven underwriting tools to automate the underwriting process while creating efficiencies, reducing errors and improving processing times. But the fact is, digital data and document automation only help if the underwriter has an overall better, more efficient user experience.
Given that underwriters are some of the most highly compensated and important pieces of the mortgage origination process, how user experience impacts job satisfaction and employee burnout is an incredibly important consideration.
