Loan officers, processors, and under- writers utilize Touchless Lending's machine-oriented, optimized workflows to engage with bor- rower and property data to make better decisions faster instead of relying on physical documentation and manual data entry. This one- of-a-kind solution automates the loan production process, allowing lenders to originate mortgages quicker while reducing costs and repurchasing risks. Touchless Lending also effortlessly integrates with existing systems, including client CRM, POS, and LOS. "With the launch of Credit and Collateral Analysis, which seam- lessly complement our currently available products—Document, Income, Multi-Investor, and Decision Analysis—Tavant can achieve their goal of straight- through processing and fully automated underwriting sooner than expected," said Mohammad Rashid, Head of Fintech Innovation at Tavant. "We pragmatically reduce the cost to process and underwrite by ap- proximately $1,000 per loan and achieve a scale of double-digit underwrites per day per under- writer. In addition, the flexibility to deploy any one of these prod- ucts independently of the others, or deploy in a cohesive package for underwriting, significantly increases the platform's ease of adoption." Credit Analysis, now part of Touchless Lending, is a machine- based approach to underwriting the credit component of a mort- gage application, which automates the review of credit reports for all borrowers on the application for a home loan. These reports include the following features: a review of (1) debts, liabilities, and credit utilization, (2) public records to identify issues pertaining to bankruptcy, foreclosure, judgment, liens, and fraud, (3) applicant personal data against the credit report for verification purposes, and lastly, (4) investor and lender- specific guidelines (both agency and non-QM), which automati- cally raises conditions as needed and subsequently reevaluates the primary loan ratios. Touchless Lending Credit Analysis can be performed in seconds, thereby al- leviating time for underwriters to focus on other tasks and signifi- cantly reducing the overall cost and time required to underwrite and process a loan. Collateral Analysis, the sec- ond new addition to Tavant's Touchless Lending platform, automates an underwriter's manual, labor-intensive appraisal review process, allowing them to focus their attention on other pressing issues that require ac- tion. These features include the following: (1) GSE and private investor guideline checks, (2) validating appraisal information across the loan file, including title, sales contract, flood, homeowners' insurance policies, etc., (3) home images and appraiser comment analysis using various AI/ML techniques, and (4) FEMA, USPS, and Flood Zone authentication. Eliminating manual review and data entry while identifying and escalating issues automatically al- lows for more accurate and faster decisioning, and closing.

The system's open, cloud-native API's unlock easy integrations to platforms like Truework, giving lenders the ability to seamlessly integrate all their verification needs into one single solution. "As we speak with today's financial institutions about their challenges and opportunities, we continue to hear that income veri- fication is one of the biggest pain points in origination," said Mike Yu, Vesta CEO. "Our partnership with Truework is bringing a mis- sion critical step of the process to the digital age, allowing for end- to-end streamlined verifications directly from the LOS." Ryan Sandler, Truework Founder and CEO, added, "We're excited to partner with Vesta, who shares our passion for innovation and commitment to the customer, to bring first-class income and employment verification to their next-generation LOS.
