Improved efficiency, greater accuracy, and a faster, smoother mortgage experience for our borrowers and partners.
Cheri Wright: VP of Fulfillment & Credit Risk Operations

This move allows us to maintain quality and consistency from credit decision to investor delivery, reinforcing our commitment to excellence through every loan we fund.
