Many lenders still use outdated systems, leading to slower processes and increased risk. Automation enhances the loan process by identifying compliance issues early, tracking deadlines, and ensuring proactive compliance management. A case study showed that automation reduced document processing time significantly while increasing accuracy. Failing to modernize compliance workflows leads to substantial financial losses due to incorrect fees and disclosures. Manual processes heighten risks through slower reviews and increased human error, which can severely impact borrowers and the overall trust in the lending process.
Automation isn't just about moving faster, it's about mitigating risk. When built into the loan process, automation can be used to identify mismatches, enforce disclosures, and detect potential compliance gaps long before closing.
A 2024 case study of machine learning-based compliance software found that document processing time dropped from 7 days to 1.5 days, while accuracy in identifying compliance issues rose from 78% to 93%.
Failing to modernize compliance workflows in today's environment is risky. In 2024 alone, mortgage originators issued $115 million in refunds across more than 130,000 loans, primarily related to unlawful fees and improper disclosures.
Manual processes increase exposure. They slow down reviews, make audits harder, and increase the likelihood of human error, which is problematic in an industry where the regulatory environment is constantly changing.
