Putting borrowers first with eClose
Affinity Plus Federal Credit Union adopted Encompass eClose鈩 when many other lenders felt they didn鈥檛 have the time to invest in innovative technology: during a historically high-volume market peak. Now, whether the market is warming up or cooling down, it鈥檚 full steam ahead for Affinity Plus as they leverage eClose to delight members and establish a real competitive edge. Delivering closing documents to borrowers digitally earlier in the lending process gives them the chance to review everything before getting to the closing table. Staying ahead of the closing process helps Affinity Plus Loan Officers identify issues, fix mistakes, and answer members鈥 questions well before signing time.
eClose is a natural fit for Affinity Plus members who were asking, "Can we just do this online?" Implementing eClose removes barriers for borrowers and allows them to finish their experience through the same portal they submitted their initial application. Members have been excited about the change, and continually express appreciation for how Affinity Plus makes the mortgage lending experience easy.
