Tavant, a Silicon Valley-based provider of AI-powered digital lending technologies, announced today that ConsumerDirect Mortgage, a division of FirstBank with mortgage operations and financial centers throughout the Southeast, leveraged FinXperience to develop and deploy a new consumer direct digital lending platform. A component of Tavant VΞLOX, an AI-powered digital lending suite of products, FinXperience is a point-of-sale solution that provides a simplified digital experience across all lending channels.
“Tavant has been an outstanding technology partner in turning our vision into a reality,” said Jamie Thornton, director, Online Mortgage Lending for FirstBank. “During our due diligence, they were the only provider that was able to adapt their product to our unique business model and in turn, build a platform that was tailored to our specific workflow and business processes. Together, we’ve launched a modern mortgage application platform that provides rate and cost transparency while reducing loan durations, providing an enhanced customer experience.”
Rob Henger, director of Mortgage Banking for FirstBank, added, “We are looking forward to partnering with Tavant to leverage this digital point-of-sale solution into other FirstBank verticals.”

Hassan Rashid, CRO of Tavant, said, “Launching a new, customer-focused platform provides FirstBank a significant competitive advantage in an increasingly fierce market. FinXperience empowers the Bank with a design-centric approach and enables a seamless, device-agnostic experience to meet evolving customer expectations. This initiative will accelerate FirstBank’s digital transformation journey and further improve the overall home buying experience for their customers while optimizing existing business processes and functions.”
