Bank Relies on Platform's Functionality, Ease of Use and Efficiency to Convert Started Applications into Submissions
MEQUON, WI, Dec. 16, 2013 /PRNewswire/ - Using D+H's Mortgagebot Enterprise® platform, First Internet Bank (www.firstib.com) of Indianapolis, Ind., converted 71 percent of the mortgage applications its borrowers started online into completed application submissions, a rate that earned the $738 million-asset bank the title of Online Mortgage Originator of the Year in the 2013 Mortgage Technology Awards. The award recognizes a lender's use of web-based technologies to generate borrower leads and convert them into closed loans.
"Mortgagebot Enterprise plays an important role in our service delivery and has been instrumental in our success," said Kevin B. Quinn, senior vice president at First Internet Bank. "It provides the online lending functionality that we need behind the scenes. We use it to submit loans to Desktop Underwriter®, run credit checks and to get instant credit decisions whether a loan officer is available or not."
D+H's Mortgagebot Enterprise platform enables First Internet Bank's loan officers to concentrate their efforts on helping borrowers determine the right mortgage program to fit their needs, rather than on the time-consuming process of filling out applications and other preliminary mortgage application steps.
"Mortgagebot Enterprise helps us make our mortgage process efficient," said Quinn. "There is no software to load. When an application comes in, it feeds right into our loan origination system, so that a loan officer doesn't need to rekey the information. Instead, they can concentrate on the consultative process to help borrowers choose the loan that is best for them."
First Internet Bank has accomplished great results with the support of its advanced online lending system. "The Mortgagebot Enterprise platform is a vital component in the bank's effort to provide easy, efficient, user-friendly online mortgages for its customers," said Scott Hansen, executive vice president of marketing, D+H USA. "Mortgagebot Enterprise provides the efficiencies and ease of use that are essential in the bank's direct-to-consumer Internet lending model. We look forward to continuing to work with First Internet Bank to maximize its success in the online mortgage lending channel."
First Internet Bank has a long history with D+H Mortgagebot, having chosen the Mortgagebot Enterprise platform in 2008. "We started by redesigning our site in order to maximize our conversion rate. Mortgagebot Enterprise really complements our efforts on the mortgage side. It delivers ongoing loan status reminders and reporting capabilities to meet our needs," said Quinn.
