EDINA, MN. – WESTconsin is the latest credit union to choose Prime Alliance’s prime+, the first cloud-based mortgage technology that enables credit unions to consolidate multiple inefficient lending platforms to one system. “We are excited to be working with WESTconsin Credit Union,one of northwestern Wisconsin’s most-respected mortgage lenders,” said Dan Green, EVP, Credit Union Solutions for Prime Alliance. “We are looking forward to a long partnership, one that helps put more members in homes, more comfortably and more affordably.
“We chose the prime+ platform for three reasons,” George Brewe, WESTconsin’s VP of mortgage lending said. “Open access for our members and our mortgage team is the first.
Before Prime Alliance, our team could only originate and process loans while at the credit union, and on-line member access was extremely limited. With Prime Alliance, members originate their own loan at their convenience. Our loan officers each have their own personalized websites, too. It has never been easier to close a mortgage loan with WESTconsin Credit Union,” Brewe said.
“Anytime anywhere accessibility delivers the member experience Prime Alliance is known for,” said Green. “Getting members through the financing process quickly means they move into their new homes sooner, or reduce their mortgage payments earlier. prime+ makes it happen nationwide thousands of times a day.”
“Gaining operational efficiency was an absolute necessity,” said Brewe. “After just three weeks, prime+ is saving days, if not weeks, on mortgage disclosures alone. We transitioned quickly from a completely paper-bound process to one that is fully paperless and totally digital up until closing. The dollars saved and the productivity gained make WESTconsin a very attractive,competitive lender to buyers and refinancers alike in northwestern Wisconsin.”
Prime Alliance credit unions are some of the most efficient and lowest cost lenders in the industry. “Our prime+ one-system encompasses the entire mortgage process and produces decisive, differentiating results,” Green said. We have been tracking lending costs and productivity for many years for the sole purpose of helping our credit unions deliver the best value in housing finance to their members and to their communities.”
“For the first time we are managing our mortgage program with real-time information. We know exactly who has applied, how often and when we’ve been in contact and the status of every member’s loan. Although we have only used prime+ for four weeks, we can already see we will be closing more loans and doing so more quickly and accurately than ever before. We provide the best mortgage experience in northwestern Wisconsin,” said Brewe.
