Though investing in a new technology solution may seem like an added expense and administrative burden up-front, lenders stand to lose much more in both time and resources by choosing to make do with legacy systems and workflows.

Lending FinTech Company Expands Executive Team with Seasoned Product and Technology Development Expert.

At Built, we take pride in the onboarding and implementation of each new client -- working with our clients to truly get to know the ins and outs of their workflows and tailoring our implementation process to meet their needs. We place a great deal of focus on making things as simple and pain free as possible for everyone who uses our platform, which is why we were honored when we delighted a client to the extent that they wanted to join our team. This was exactly the case with Natalie Myrick, our recently appointed director of mortgage solutions, who came on board last fall from Umpqua Bank. In this quick interview conversation, Natalie shares a little bit of her story and what she’s looking forward to helping us create at Built.

If you're involved in construction lending, you already know the process functions almost the same today as it did 30 years ago. From the largest financial institutions in the world to the smallest local community banks, the origination and management of construction loans currently requires heavy loan administration staffing, duplicative data entry, complex and inconsistent spreadsheets, phone calls, emails, and even faxes. This antiquated nature of managing construction loans creates information disparity between key stakeholders and usually results in all participants operating in the dark.
