Accenture Credit Services High Performance for the Residential Mortgage Industry
Residential Mortgage Operational Performance is Insufficient to Meet the Challenges of the Market The challenges of complex, paper-intensive processes, the lack of updated workflow technology, increasing regulatory and compliance requirements, credit and policy risk aversion, and ambiguous investor guidelines cause most lending processes to be characterized as slow, inaccurate, inefficient and costly. On top of that, Lenders have to be able to demonstrate the ability to meet evolving borrower expectations and provide a differentiated customer experience. In addition to closing timeframes, borrower expectations are now heavily focused on transparency, ease of access and communication with the lender. A new class of digitally enabled home loan borrowers, along with commodity loan products and pricing and lackluster customer loyalty are putting pressure on lenders to make the move to a more digital mortgage experience. There are also significant internal challenges that lenders must overcome. The net cost to originate a residential mortgage has increased dramatically since year-end 2009, including seeing a steady rise over the past five quarters. Obstacles such as aging technology, lack of flexibility to meet market dynamics, and fragmented processes, all limit lenders ability to drive efficiency.
