Outdated mortgage tech is draining lenders: Here's how to stop the bleeding
Briefly

In a competitive lending landscape, success hinges on agility, diversification, and the ability to leverage home equity lines of credit (HELOCs). Recent data indicates a notable increase in HELOC and home equity loan originations. This shift suggests homeowners' preference for accessing equity without refinancing. Lenders are exploring new revenue streams and innovative product offerings, but outdated technology can stifle their responsiveness to market demands. To stay relevant, lenders must adapt quickly and efficiently, moving away from time-consuming tech and toward more streamlined processes.
The reality is that the lenders who are winning today are those who exhibit diversification, speed, and agility in their operations, particularly in the realm of HELOCs.
Currently, the mortgage landscape shows an encouraging jump in new HELOC and home equity loan originations: 6% and 8% increases respectively in Q3 2024.
Homeowners are increasingly gravitating towards HELOCs as a method to utilize their home equity, providing a non-intrusive alternative to refinancing their low-rate mortgages.
Lenders need to pivot quickly to capture revenue opportunities in the current market; relying on outdated tech systems can impede this agility and slow down necessary innovations.
