Tavant Announces the Launch of a New Product to its AI-powered Touchless Lending® Platform
SANTA CLARA, Calif., April 25, 2023 SANTA CLARA, Calif., April 25, 2023 – Tavant, Silicon Valley’s leading digital lending solutions provider, today announced the launch of a highly anticipated new product, Asset Analysis, to Touchless Lending®, their AI-powered digital lending platform. With this addition, Touchless Lending will further solidify itself as the most comprehensive automated underwriting solution available to mortgage lenders by providing coverage over all four major underwriting components, including Income, Credit, Collateral, and soon Asset Analysis. Touchless Lending Asset Analysis is in the near-final stages of production and will be available in-market by the end of June 2023. “This upcoming launch of Touchless Lending Asset Analysis will perfectly complement our currently available underwriting products – Document, Income, Credit, Collateral, and Decision Analysis – and put Tavant one step closer to achieving our goal of enabling straight-through processing and fully automated underwriting for mortgage providers,” said Mohammad Rashid, Head of Fintech Innovation at Tavant. “Our current Touchless Lending products reduce the cost to process and underwrite by $1000 per loan and achieve a scale of double-digit underwrites per day per underwriter. With Asset Analysis fitting in as the final piece, Touchless Lending will be capable of having even more of an impact on reducing cycle times and origination costs for lenders.” Asset Analysis automates an underwriter’s labor-intensive process of reviewing assets and multiple bank statements, allowing them to accurately ensure that the borrower’s assets are responsibly sourced and quickly determine the likelihood that the borrower will have sufficient funds to cover down payments, closing costs, and reserves for the mortgage transaction. Asset Analysis checks for relevant loan details and document acceptability to identify and condition for large deposits or deposits from sources that are inconsistent with the loan application. Furthermore, AI and ML models are integrated into Asset Analysis to automatically review bank statement withdrawal transactions to detect, identify, and condition for anomalies, undisclosed financial transactions, or any recurring payments in the statements. “Touchless Lending Asset Analysis will identify, calculate, then determine borrower eligibility and derive qualified income across bank statements based on the investor or program-specific requirements,” said Hemanthkumar Jambulingam, Director of Fintech Product Management at Tavant. Touchless Lending provides straight-through mortgage processing and automated underwriting as part of the end-to-end mortgage manufacturing pipeline. Loan officers, processors, and underwriters utilize Touchless Lending’s machine-oriented, optimized workflows to engage with borrower and property data to make better decisions faster instead of relying on physical documentation and manual data entry. This one-of-a-kind solution automates the loan production process, allowing lenders to originate mortgages quicker while reducing costs and repurchasing risks. Touchless Lending also effortlessly integrates with existing systems, including client CRM, POS, and LOS. “Tavant offers the flexibility for lenders to determine whether they want to benefit from the whole Touchless Lending automation suite or instead choose one or a few analyses independently of the others,” continued Rashid. “Even if using all that Touchless Lending has to offer is guaranteed to generate higher productivity and efficiency than using only a portion of the platform, we understand that every lender is unique, and at Tavant, we are here to help you identify the optimal path to accommodate your specific needs.” As a leading Fintech software and solutions provider for over 20 years, Tavant proactively anticipates customer needs and adjusts accordingly to provide the right configurable solutions. Tavant’s Touchless Lending® product suite, which now includes experiences not just for underwriters and processors but also for home buyers, loan officers, brokers, realtors, and more, maximizes data-driven decision-making to solve even the most complex lender and borrower challenges. Tavant’s growing customer base originates one out of every three home loans in the United States. Find Tavant on LinkedIn and Twitter.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. & NASHVILLE, Tenn., October 25, 2022 SANTA CLARA, Calif. & NASHVILLE, Tenn., October 25, 2022 – Tavant, Silicon Valley’s leading digital lending solutions provider, today announced at the MBA Annual in Nashville the launch of two highly anticipated new products to Touchless LendingTM, their widely-used digital lending platform and signature Fintech product brand. With these additions, Tavant further solidifies its status as the industry’s preferred mortgage automation partner by diversifying its AI-powered Lending-as-a-Service platform to include both Credit Analysis and Collateral Analysis – two separate product offerings newly available as part of Touchless Lending’s suite of products. This expansion marks a significant milestone for Tavant as the organization makes steps towards unifying all of its Fintech products under one overarching product brand, Touchless Lending, which now includes experiences not just for underwriters and processors but also for home buyers, loan officers, brokers, realtors, and more. Touchless Lending™️ provides straight-through mortgage processing and automated underwriting as part of the end-to-end mortgage manufacturing pipeline. Loan officers, processors, and underwriters utilize Touchless Lending’s machine-oriented, optimized workflows to engage with borrower and property data to make better decisions faster instead of relying on physical documentation and manual data entry. This one-of-a-kind solution automates the loan production process, allowing lenders to originate mortgages quicker while reducing costs and repurchasing risks. Touchless Lending also effortlessly integrates with existing systems, including client CRM, POS, and LOS. “With the launch of Credit and Collateral Analysis, which seamlessly complement our currently available products – Document, Income, Multi-Investor, and Decision Analysis – Tavant can achieve their goal of straight-through processing and fully automated underwriting sooner than expected,” said Mohammad Rashid, Head of Fintech Innovation at Tavant. “We pragmatically reduce the cost to process and underwrite by approximately $1000 per loan and achieve a scale of double-digit underwrites per day per underwriter. In addition, the flexibility to deploy any one of these products independently of the others, or deploy in a cohesive package for underwriting, significantly increases the platform’s ease of adoption.” Credit Analysis, now part of Touchless Lending, is a machine-based approach to underwriting the credit component of a mortgage application, which automates the review of credit reports for all borrowers on the application for a home loan. These reports include the following features: a review of (1) debts, liabilities, and credit utilization, (2) public records to identify issues pertaining to bankruptcy, foreclosure, judgment, liens, and fraud, (3) applicant personal data against the credit report for verification purposes, and lastly, (4) investor and lender-specific guidelines (both agency and non-QM), which automatically raises conditions as needed and subsequently reevaluates the primary loan ratios. Touchless Lending Credit Analysis can be performed in seconds, thereby alleviating time for underwriters to focus on other tasks and significantly reducing the overall cost and time required to underwrite and process a loan. Collateral Analysis, the second new addition to Tavant’s Touchless Lending platform, automates an underwriter’s manual, labor-intensive appraisal review process, allowing them to focus their attention on other pressing issues that require action. These features include the following: (1) GSE and private investor guideline checks, (2) validating appraisal information across the loan file, including title, sales contract, flood, homeowners’ insurance policies, etc., (3) home images and appraiser comment analysis using various AI/ML techniques, and (4) FEMA, USPS, and Flood Zone authentication. Eliminating manual review and data entry while identifying and escalating issues automatically allows for more accurate and faster decisioning and closing. Touchless Lending Collateral Analysis benefits every mortgage channel of business and goes far beyond industry standard appraisal review tools available today. As a leading Fintech software and solutions provider for more than 20 years, Tavant proactively anticipates customer needs and adjusts accordingly to provide the right configurable solutions. Tavant’s Touchless LendingTM product suite, which now includes Credit and Collateral Analysis, maximizes data-driven decision-making to solve even the most complex lender and borrower challenges.

American Financial Resources, Inc. Expands Partnership with Tavant, Adds Touchless Documents
SANTA CLARA, Calif., Aug 30, 2022 SANTA CLARA, Calif., Aug 30, 2022 – Tavant, a Silicon Valley-based provider of industry-leading digital lending solutions, and American Financial Resources, Inc. (AFR), a national mortgage lender, operating in the wholesale, correspondent, and retail origination channels, have partnered to enhance the lender’s digital mortgage experience, end-to-end. Leveraging Tavant’s Touchless LendingTM, AFR’s correspondent lenders, mortgage brokers, loan originators, and consumers will now be able to automate the traditionally cumbersome lending process, providing a more streamlined and seamless experience for all stakeholders. Tavant’s Touchless Documents instantly recognizes documents, automating document classification, indexing, splitting, categorization/subcategorization, pairing with borrowers, and data extraction with the highest accuracy. Additionally, the Touchless Lending platform integrates seamlessly with existing lender systems, including CRMs, Point-of-Sales, LOS, and document management systems, to optimize document-related workflows, organize and process documents faster, and deposit the results of the document classification and data extraction back into the system of record. “With the launch of FinDecision being so successful, adding Tavant’s Touchless Documents into the mix seemed like the logical next step,” said Scott Dubnoff, Chief Technology Officer at American Financial Resources, Inc. “And we were right. Their implementation was a smooth and painless process. It took about six weeks to integrate Tavant’s product into our systems fully. After one month of running Touchless Docs with real data, we determined their document classification accuracy greatly surpassed our expectations. We have only just started with this technology yet are already seeing returns in both labor efficiency and data accuracy. We have only scratched the surface with document classification and plan to expand to data extraction next. This opens even more possibilities for automation as we look to expand usage of the product to other areas of our process.” Before deploying Touchless Documents, processing broker-submitted loan documents was time-consuming and labor-intensive, requiring the utilization of a pool of human resources and turnaround times that could potentially be overnight. After implementing Tavant’s Touchless Documents, what used to take hours now takes minutes. Brokers can get immediate feedback on their file uploads and provide direct input to their borrowers on requested document uploads. After only one month of usage, Touchless Docs has processed close to 500 loans and over 90k pages of loan documentation with a document classification success rate of approximately 92%. “AFR and Tavant have aligned missions to make homeownership more accessible for all and to provide several offerings that can support underserved communities in the housing market,” said Hassan Rashid, Chief Revenue Officer at Tavant. “While lenders have had to undergo lengthy processes in the past manually, Tavant now introduces a machine-oriented approach that successfully increases workflow up to 80% by automating and regulating the processes of loan application and disbursal.” As the leading Fintech software and solutions provider for more than 20 years, Tavant proactively anticipates customer needs and adjusts accordingly to provide the right configurable solutions.
