In October, nCino hosted three highly impactful forums in Scottsdale, Arizona. These forums included the Community and Regional Executive Forum, the North America Enterprise Executive Forum, and the Farm Credit Forum.

In the evolving landscape of financial regulation, understanding and complying with Dodd-Frank 1071 presents both challenges and opportunities for financial institutions. Mastering this terrain can seem daunting, but with the right strategies and insights, compliance can become a catalyst for growth and innovation.

Compliance with Dodd-Frank 1071 has been an important and sometimes contentious topic of discussion, due in part to varied sentiment, the US district court injunction, anticipated new effective dates, requisite change management, and rigorous regulatory enforcement. To make matters even more challenging, strategies and interpretations of compliance requirements are inconsistent across institutions, making the job of compliance an ongoing task.

Seizing the OpportunitiesAs financial institutions figure out how to keep up with these challenges, they have several opportunities and choices. Compliance with Dodd-Frank 1071 presents opportunities for expanded customer data analytics, operational standardization, and tapping into underserved market segments. Leveraging these potential benefits can lead to significant advancements for financial institutions.

In our rapidly evolving mortgage industry, eClosings are becoming increasingly popular due to their ability to provide a seamless, efficient and cost-effective solution for lenders, settlement agents and borrowers. In nCino’s recent white paper, we dive deep into the concept of eClosings, their benefits and how to best select an eClose solution.

Digital Transformation: How eClosing is Shaping the Mortgage IndustryThe days of lengthy, paper-based mortgage closings are giving way to the digital age. More and more, we’re seeing a shift towards digital closings, which are rightfully earning a reputation as the “gold standard” in the mortgage industry.

Why are borrowers and lenders flocking towards this technology-driven solution? Their simplicity, efficiency and the capacity to meet evolving consumer demands are key benefits for lenders, while borrowers are particularly charmed by quicker closings and the convenience of a completely digital mortgage experience.

Beyond their appeal to borrowers, eClose solutions yield remarkable benefits for lenders and settlement agents. From a cost perspective, significant savings per loan are realized when leveraging this digital space. The reduction of human error, improved loan quality and reduced processing/funding cycles make eClosings all the more lucrative for these stakeholders.
