  1. Digitization and Automation: The Proven Ways for Lenders to Increase Profitability The first week of October came with some robust news for the mortgage sector. The average mortgage interest rate on both the 30-year and 15-year fixed mortgage slipped giving a boost to the buying and refinance surge. Since August, average rates each week have continued to hang near record lows, and they have contributed to an unusually active September homebuying season. There has been a major storm in the housing market courtesy of the high buyer interest combined with favorable mortgage rates. The lower rates are also good news for homeowners who want to refinance their mortgage and lock in a lower rate. All these developments have meant that mortgage lenders are dealing with tremendous volumes and the queue for refinance is extremely high considering many lenders are facing a backlog of applications. In such volatile situations, lenders are often left working overtime, scrambling to hire staff only to let them go when the volume goes down. Also, with profit margins running slim, lenders must maintain healthy bottom lines, while considering their options for scaling up the business and taking care of profitability. One way for them to reduce their production expenses is to leverage technology. Lenders need to arm themselves with the right kind of technology to fast- track customer onboarding, reduce manual efforts and errors. As a lender, if you worry about how much it would cost to invest in such advanced technology, there’s an easier way: you could collaborate with third-party vendors. There are niche players who can help with the right kind of technology to improve operational efficiencies, save time, and reduce costs.
