FundMore, an award-winning mortgage underwriting software, is pleased to announce an industry-leading integration with Opta Information Intelligence (Opta), Canada’s largest property location intelligence provider and a Verisk business.
This collaboration enables lenders to retrieve property information from Opta’s databases which contain details on 18+ million Canadian properties. Automating the process for property details and valuations during the application procedure can expedite the process dramatically; improving the time to close a file. Automation may also reduce fraud, human error and helps ensure loans meet the underwriting criteria.
By combining both data & digital solutions, Opta and FundMore provide institutional lenders of all sizes the critical advantage needed in the current marketplace where digital and automated capabilities are increasingly in demand.
“Our award-winning platform is now even more efficient through our integration with Opta’s leading property data solution,” says Chris Grimes, CEO of FundMore. “Underwriting is now a one-day process, and lenders of all stripes should be rethinking their legacy systems for this industry paradigm shift. Powered by Opta, we continue to give the digital tools and automation they need to keep up with changing consumer demands and regulatory requirements.”
“Our goal is to help streamline the mortgage process by leveraging the industry’s most accurate property data sets,” says Greg McCutcheon, President of Verisk’s Opta. “FundMore’s technology is revolutionizing the industry, and we are very excited to be working with such a forward thinking and innovative company. Through automation and Opta’s data products, FundMore will be able to unlock significant time savings in the underwriting workflow while managing risk.”
