Business Challenges
• Processing loans is more complex• More work must be completed in less time• Longer approval cycles• Higher operating costs• Inconvenient for Borrowers
Manual Lending Process• Requires documents compiled from various
sources• Hardcopy files add delays in the approval
process• Time wasted looking for misplaced
or in use documents• Reprints, couriers and physical
storage fees drive costs higher
LOS Helps Provide Some Automation
• Using an LOS helps deal with some automation and electronic processing
• Compile loan applications electronically• May include some workflow• Some files still come in hard copy• Eventually all files are printed and stored
in hard copy
What is the Ideal Lending Process?• End-to-end processing of loan application• No printing required• Scanning solution for hardcopy documents• Integration with ECM for automated
uploads• Entire loan application folder stored in your
ECM system• Integration with Online Banking to expose
lending files

• Some files still originate in hardcopy– 3rd party appraisals– Proof of income letters– Receipts, invoices, title
• Plan to have a capture solution• Understand the workflow and how/when
files are scanned & uploaded
4. Automate the Upload of Loan Files
• If you’re using an LOS: – Look for Integration with your document management
system– Discuss digital signature options they have developed
• If you’re self-managing the loan forms: – look to automate the upload using “hot folders”– use scanning/indexing tools– Investigate your options for digital signatures
5. How the Borrower Gets Their Copy
• Be Flexible - some borrowers may insist on printed copies
• Look for integration between your Document Management system and Online Banking
• Be selective in which files are offered via online banking
How to Get Started
• You don’t have to get there in 1-step• Start with scanning hardcopy funded loans• Decide what to do with archived files• Work with all providers to prepare for
