Mortgage Cadence Expands Digital Footprint with New Borrower Center for Enterprise Lending Center Offering

DENVER; March 27, 2017 – Mortgage Cadence, an Accenture company (NYSE: ACN), announced it will launch the third generation of its Borrower Center, expanding the borrower self-service capabilities and enhancing the origination workflow of its Enterprise Lender Center platform.

The Borrower Center is a cornerstone of Mortgage Cadence’s cloud-based technology, providing a highly secure, always-on-and-available-everywhere capability to help guide borrowers and lenders through the mortgage origination cycle. The new release, which builds upon the company’s proprietary technology that elevated the online mortgage lending experience more than 15 years ago, provides a superior experience for borrowers and a more-efficient, cost-effective process for lenders. Features of the third-generation Borrower Center include:

• Borrower Mobility. Borrowers will now enjoy a streamlined user interface that scales across devices, enabling convenient anywhere, anytime access. During application, borrowers create a secure account to which they return throughout the origination cycle to virtually collaborate and check the progress of their loan, upload documents, view conditions, and communicate with their lender.

• Single System of Record. A single, web-based technology platform – a Mortgage Cadence hallmark – that provides complete mortgage origination capabilities, whereas most other vendors use a cumbersome, multi-system integration approach. Borrower Center opens a gateway for borrowers and lenders to interact easily throughout the mortgage origination process. For lenders, our single technology platform means solid data integrity and security, enhanced features to help ensure compliance, a highly automated workflow, and an immersive borrower experience unmatched in the industry.

• Flexible Administration. Easy-to-use admin tools provide full control over page names, content, titles, fields, and button names, with the option to preview updates prior to site publishing. The Borrower Center provides the flexibility that enables the lender to collect only the information needed to provide a great customer experience.

• Powerful Branding. Borrower Center offers lenders the most powerful styling and branding opportunities available, making it easy for lenders to match the experience provided by their corporate website. Borrower Center’s design tools make it simple for lenders to adjust design and flow instantly,in real-time, as market conditions and borrower preferences evolve.

“Mortgage Cadence continues to lead the way in borrower-facing technologies — a road we started down almost two decades ago,” said Trevor Gauthier, Mortgage Cadence’s president and chief operating officer. “It’s exciting to release this next-generation borrower portal with the sole purpose of advancing our digital suite of technologies to ensure that our customers stay at the forefront of the lending industry.

“Staying ahead of industry and technology trends hinges on a thorough understanding of borrowers’ future needs. Last year we partnered with Accenture Research to conduct a study of more than 1,500 borrowers’ current and future expectations related to the origination process. Using data collected from the study, we have been driving development efforts around Borrower Center for Enterprise Lending Center and applying that knowledge to our entire product suite roadmap. Supporting our lenders is our number one goal, and we are excited to roll-out this forward-looking product.”

Michael Detwiler, Mortgage Cadence’s chief executive officer and a senior managing director at Accenture, said, “Since the acquisition of Mortgage Cadence in 2013, We have invested heavily in the Mortgage Cadence suite of products, with a major focus on digital technologies inclusive of Borrower Center. Our view on where we want to take mortgage lending draws from the kind of disruption we see in the transportation and hotel industries — attacking the major friction points and fully digitizing processes to increase the speed and efficiency of lending services. Our new release of Borrower Center is the culmination of three years’ worth of investment and incredibly skilled employees bringing our vision to life, laying the groundwork for where we plan to take our digital lending experience to enable our customers to leapfrog the competition.”
