Revolutionary end-to-end digital technology used to close more than $100 billion in loan volume
CHICAGO, June 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — In 2019, Guaranteed rate companies spear FlashClose℠, its revolutionary end-to-end digital Fintech tool that allows homebuyers to sign documents and close their loans remotely, wherever they are. Technology has become a true digital differentiator during the COVID-19 pandemic and has received a coveted award HousingWire Tech100 Award 2020.
While this end-to-end digital Fintech tool has enabled buyers to digitally dive into their real estate purchases and avoid the traditional hassle of the in-person closing table, it has also had a significant positive impact on the environment. When used to process an entire loan, FlashClose℠ saves borrowers nearly 132 pages of paper, while a hybrid remote close, which uses the tool to handle much but not all of the paperwork, saves nearly 50 pages.
Since its launch, FlashClose℠ has been used by guaranteed rate companies to close over 335,000 loans for a total loan volume of over $100 billion. The company is delighted to announce that in honor of the United Nations World Environment Day the June 5than FlashClose℠ helped the environment by saving more than 17 million sheets of paper. It is estimated that one tree produces around 10,000 sheets of paper, which means that Guaranteed Rate’s end-to-end digital innovation has saved some 1,700 trees.
“We are extremely proud that our industry-leading FlashClose℠ digital tool has had such a positive impact on the environment,” says Ramesh Sarukkai, Chief Product and Technology Officer of Guaranteed Rate. “This is just one example of how our technical team creates fast, simple and innovative Fintech tools to improve the lives of our customers.”
