LOS stands for Loan Origination System and sometimes is referred as Loan Origination Software and in a nutshell, it is a software system that enables retail Banks, Credit Unions and Credit Vendors to simplify lending.
Within the loan origination system (LOS), there are features and functionality that will make or break the product. Let’s review those important features and functionalities.
Key Components of LOS Origination System
Core System Connectivity: Bilateral connectivity into your core system from your loan origination system is vital, meaning that it will send and receive data from the core system to the LOS. This feature saves time throughout the application process by removing manual work, reduces errors, and helps improve consumer satisfaction by creating a better application process.
One System: Your LOS should be one system that captures every loan application no matter the source, whether it is mobile, branch, call center, indirect, retail, or kiosk into a processing system that applies the same rules and workflows ensuring continuously for staff and consumers.
Integrated Deposit System: The ability to integrate with a deposit system is an excellent way to help your members and customers know about other services that you offer at your financial institution. During the account origination process, a soft credit report can be pulled to identify pre-approved services for the member or customer ensuring that you can help with all their financial needs. The seamless integration of two significantly reduces the application time for the additional origination.
Third Party Integrations: Having a large pool of third-party integrations will give you the opportunity to customize your system to use the services that your team is familiar with and best aligned with your processes.
