How document automation can help identify discrepancies in mortgage application data

4 Jul 2024
featured how document automation can help identify discrepancies in mortgage application data

Reviewing borrower and property records has traditionally been a manual and repetitive task. Combined with the added challenge of validating data across multiple document types and application data, this process can often lead to costly mistakes due to “stare and compare” fatigue. 

With document automation, lenders can dramatically increase the productivity of their review and verification process without sacrificing accuracy. Document automation helps lenders mitigate risk, reduce errors, and improve their overall decision-making by automatically identifying potential discrepancies in mortgage application data.

Automating verification in application data

Document automation enables lenders to efficiently verify applicant information and identify discrepancies between data in loan origination systems and the information extracted from supporting documents borrowers provide. This simplifies lenders’ validation and verification processes, confirming validity at every step.

With automated validation, lenders can quickly identify inconsistencies in data, including:

  • Borrower Information
  • Address Details
  • Employment History
  • All Assets
  • Subject Property

Streamlining mortgage workflows with consistent data

The benefits of ensuring consistent data between mortgage applications and supporting documents go beyond accuracy – it’s also critical to an efficient lending workflow.

Automated validation helps identify discrepancies and avoid errors, enabling lenders to reduce processing times for a smoother customer experience and increase the productivity of lending teams.

Ocrolus’ technology integrates seamlessly with loan origination systems, improving data handling and giving lenders a strategic edge in a competitive mortgage market. By streamlining workflows and minimizing manual tasks, lenders can concentrate on making strategic decisions and providing excellent customer service, boosting overall operational efficiency.

In the modern mortgage lending world, reliable, consistent data isn’t just a nice thing—it’s essential. Ocrolus empowers lenders to achieve this, ensuring every step of the lending process is as precise as possible.
