Finastra Unveils New Analytics Solution for Lenders Data Insights 2.0

Finastra has launched Data Insights 2.0, an advanced analytics tool integrated into its Originate Mortgagebot platform to help lenders optimize the mortgage application process. By providing a granular view of the borrower journey, the solution identifies specific friction points where applicants drop off, enabling financial institutions to improve conversion rates and operational efficiency. This release highlights the growing importance of actionable data and peer benchmarking in the lending sector as firms seek to streamline digital experiences and accelerate loan funding.

Finastra’s Data Insights 2.0 is designed to provide mortgage lenders with a comprehensive view of the borrower journey, specifically targeting the identification of application drop-off points. The tool integrates with Finastra’s Originate Mortgagebot solution and offers features such as real-time exit point tracking, conversion analysis, and geographic heat maps of application activity. By analyzing borrower demographic profiles and credit score distribution channels, lenders can pinpoint exactly where friction occurs, whether due to complex forms, slow system response times, or inadequate mobile experiences.

A key differentiator of the new solution is its peer and industry benchmarking capability, which utilizes anonymized data from more than 1,000 mortgage originators. This allows lenders to measure their performance against market standards for metrics such as loan-to-value ratios and applicant exit points. Brenda Stoerkel, VP and Mortgage Production Manager at United Bank, noted that the tool allowed her institution to identify breakdowns in their process, leading to improvements in their mobile experience and communication timing that directly increased application completion rates.

Finastra Chief Product Officer for Lending Rick Foresta emphasized that while lenders have access to vast amounts of data, the goal of Data Insights 2.0 is to provide actionable intelligence that cuts through the noise to optimize mortgage pipelines. Based in London and serving 40 of the world’s top 50 banks, Finastra facilitates approximately $7 trillion in daily transaction value. This latest update to their lending portfolio underscores the company's focus on using data-driven insights to help its 7,000+ customers accelerate approval timelines and deliver a more seamless experience for home buyers.
