MeridianLink®, developer of the financial industry’s first multi-channel loan and new account origination platform, today announced that it has helped Old National Bank see remarkable efficiency gains using the MeridianLink loan origination platform. The financial institution benefits from operational efficiencies to tackle strategic performance initiatives, while meeting its commitment to exceed the expectations of its stakeholders.
Since adopting LoansPQ in 2008, Old National has profited from the advantages of automated decisioning in its lending operations. Using automated instant approvals, underwriters do not manually handle clearly approved and rejected applications, saving them time and effort to manage an average volume of 10,000 applications a month, with a staff of four underwriters and one manager.
Using parameters determined by lending management, MeridianLink LoansPQ provides automated instant decisions for around 30% of indirect loan applications for Old National Bank clients. This leaves bank underwriters more time to focus on applications that are in the gray area. The bank’s automated instant approval has led to a nearly one billion dollar increase in loans outstanding, with low delinquencies and a bank earning rate near 3%.
Old National Bank also uses the LoansPQ solution for direct lending for home equity, unsecured and auto-secured loans. Efficiencies through automation have led to a 30% reduction in the Full-time Employee (FTE) count while increasing lending application volume and outstanding loans.
Empowered by MeridianLink loan origination and automation technology, Old National Bank effectively and efficiently supports its local community base in achieving what matters most. The two industry leaders are closely aligned in their missions of serving their respective constituencies to improve their communities through trust and integrity.
“Support and communication is second to none. The whole MeridianLink organization seems to care and take pride in the product,” said Rod Earley, Old National Bank, AVP, Scored Credit Analytics Manager.
Old National Banks feels a true partnership with MeridianLink, citing great value for the service, Bank management trusts MeridianLink’s fair pricing and ongoing system enhancements, cementing a belief in the company’s future vision.
