Lenders Looking to Automation to Help with Rising Production Costs

According to a survey conducted by Capsilon Corp. at the 2016 Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) Annual Convention and Expo, more than four out of five mortgage lenders plan to increase spending on automation technology to reduce loan production costs, with 86 percent expecting to spend more in 2017 versus 2016.

Most lenders surveyed (70 percent) expect production costs to continue to rise in 2017, with only seven percent expecting costs to be “somewhat lower” or “significantly lower” than 2016.

More than nine of 10 respondents reported they are somewhat or very interested in technology that automates key steps along the mortgage loan process to reduce loan production costs.
