The Process LSI s direct loan origination process is designed to act as a transparent extension of a financial institution s loan department to provide personalized attention to borrowers: Client receives a dedicated, toll-free telephone number for direct loans Client program and underwriting parameters are integrated into LSI s loan-processing scoring model Client promotes 24/7 direct loan service via campaign materials Consumer calls the financial institution, selects designated prompt for loan application in the financial institution phone tree and is seamlessly transferred to LSI Through transparent, computer telephony integration, calls are answered by LSI s representatives in the financial institution s name. The representative enters the consumer s social security number and qualifies the application with a series of questions (i.e. Have you applied in the last 30 days? Are you applying individually or jointly? etc.) LSI calculates a quick estimate of a loan payment based on the selected loan product Basic applicant information is collected (i.e. address, date of birth, etc.); if profile data is provided to LSI, this information pre-populates, and the loan representative verifies it as correct The representative requests permission to run the credit report At this stage, LSI proceeds with a prequal application, platinum application or full application LSI builds the full, direct application with additional information (i.e. vehicle collateral, references, etc.) and further underwriting After approximately 17 minutes of real-time interaction with the borrower, a full, direct application is completed and transmitted to the financial institution for closing Hot Transfer: If the client is utilizing our Hot Transfer program, the borrower is transferred directly to the specified personnel at the institution at which time the closing details are arranged and the borrower is effectively taken off the market.
