The Key to Hitting a Grand Slam for Data Accuracy

August 7, 2024

When it comes to managing mortgage data, accuracy is like a perfectly placed pitch in baseball – it sets the stage for success. Just like a single player error can cost a team the game, a data integrity issue can lead to missed opportunities, frustrated customers and investors, and even regulatory penalties.

In other words, lenders and servicers need to consistently hit home runs when it comes to data accuracy — whether it’s a single workflow or the culmination of many processes (such as investor loan delivery or servicing onboarding) that “stack the bases” and bring multiple runs across home plate. In this sense, AI document automation is not just the ultimate utility player, helping every position on the field. It also helps companies score.

 

The Impact of Origination Errors

Loan quality is the cornerstone of successful loan origination. But in today’s market, where regulatory scrutiny and origination costs are both at all-time highs, the stakes for loan quality have never been greater.

Traditional methods of ensuring data accuracy, such as manual reviews, are not easily scalable and are prone to errors and inefficiencies. At a per-loan level, this can impact production efficiency and customer satisfaction; and more broadly, financially impact the business with potential loan buybacks and regulatory assessments.

AI-powered document automation can help lenders streamline data extraction and validation from documents with a level of accuracy and speed exceeding human stamina, while also freeing up staff to perform more complex tasks. Using neural networks, machine learning algorithms and pre-trained models, AI can accurately identify and extract critical data points, reducing the risk of errors and ensuring data consistency.

 

Enhanced Servicing Precision

Ensuring data accuracy is equally important for mortgage servicers, especially when transferring mortgage servicing rights and navigating loss mitigation processes. Just like baseball teams rely on precise communication and coordination between players, servicers depend on accurate data to efficiently manage their portfolios and support the needs of borrowers, investors and regulators.

Thankfully, AI-powered document automation enables servicers to on-board loans and ingest loan portfolios efficiently and effectively. With AI assistance, servicers can perform required audits quickly and accurately, ensuring all key documents are executed properly while validating critical data. These tools help servicers maintain data integrity, minimize discrepancies, and reduce legal and financial risks associated with inaccurate data.
