ACHIEVING BETTER OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY AND IMPROVED CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE
With the advancement of technology, the mortgage industry has been able to digitise almost the entire lending process, and it’s about to undergo a momentous change in terms of speed, efficiency, and productivity. The utilisation of financial technology helped streamline and simplify the mortgage process, thus making the home buying process more accessible and providing a positive customer experience for borrowers. Is the adoption of technology going to override traditional mortgage lending methods, or rather to exist alongside them?

WATCHWORD: SIMPLIFICATION
Lenders are grappling with margin compression and higher rate environments. Customers are grappling with affordability issues and evolving product needs. But with the right approach, the right partners, and the use of emerging technologies, banks can navigate changing demands of today’s mortgage market, pivot as needed, and continue to provide excellent service to borrowers. Furthermore, why not extend cross-sector value propositions in other directions to take on the role of an ecosystem orchestrator and consolidate various housing journey transactions into one integrated customer experience?

DOING THINGS DIFFERENTLY
Technology helps address many issues within the mortgage industry, but a faster and frictionless borrower experience won’t necessarily help support underserved and aspiring homeowners. Most lenders treat public sector workers like any other salaried applicants, with no consideration given to their strong security of employment, additional shift and overtime income, professional qualifications, experience and reliable future pensions. And what about evolving demographics? People live for longer, and buy houses later in life. Is adding valuable product diversity to the mix the key to broadening the horizon for prospective homeowners?
14 In the now: launching a bank for first-time buyers, bigger-picture savers and later-life borrowers
