The End-to-End Paradox: Why Loan TAT Is Still Measured in Days, Not Minutes
Why does end-to-end lending still take days when every step is digitized? Explore how fragmented workflows, manual handoffs, and integration gaps prevent true automation in loan origination.
The Platform Economics of Lending
Industry research shows banks with unified lending platforms achieve 40% faster loan processing times and 25% higher approval rates compared to traditional siloed systems.
Leading financial institutions with unified lending platforms achieve 3x higher customer lifetime value compared to those using fragmented systems across origination, servicing, and collections—driven by better cross-sell opportunities and reduced operational friction.
