Wolters Kluwer helps lenders ramp up to a full digital closing at their own pace

(As posted on HousingWire)

Mortgage lenders are facing multiple challenges in today’s market. Borrowers expect a more digital, convenient experience, particularly at closings, and if one lender doesn’t provide it, a competitor will.

At the same time, lenders are under intense scrutiny by regulators and investors with the slightest misstep or error resulting in fines or buyback demands. Finally, many lenders are losing money, or at best breaking even on every loan and need to invest in new technology to turn this around. But how can you balance these challenges in the current low-volume environment?
