What this means for you

Earlier credit insight, without client impact

Applications now start with an initial rate offer assessment that won’t impact your client’s credit profile, allowing you to assess appetite early without creating unnecessary risk for your client.

Less client involvement upfront

You can now progress an application to conditional approval without involving your client at the outset, giving you greater control over timing and engagement.

Clearer, cleaner application flow

The application journey has been simplified with clearer steps and improved product clarity, helping you move through submissions more efficiently and with greater confidence.

What's changed

Before

Submitting an application triggered a hard credit check and required clients to complete ID verification upfront, often creating friction early in the process

Now

Applications begin with an initial rate offer assessment that won’t impact a client’s credit profile, allowing you to test appetite and loan terms earlier before bringing your client into the process.

Why this matters

These changes are designed to:
  • Save you time
  • Reduce unnecessary friction
  • Protect your client relationships
  • Help you progress more deals with confidence.
