Key Features
Everything LendingWise does, grouped by area, with what's included and what's an add-on.
LendingWise combines a CRM, loan origination system, servicing platform, draw management and fund management in one cloud platform. Below is what it does, grouped by area. Items marked Add-on are paid additions to your plan; Ask to enable means it is off by default and our team switches it on for you.
Core platform
| Feature | What it does |
|---|---|
| Web forms (quick & full app) | Smart, customizable applications that ask the right questions and request the right documents for each loan program. Every branch, broker and loan officer gets their own links and embed code. |
| Branches | Sub-accounts for net branches, correspondents, affiliates or business lines — each with its own users, originators and branding. |
| Users, roles & permissions | Separate portals for back office, branches, loan officers, brokers, borrowers and investors, with per-user permissions and status-based edit rights. |
| Loan programs & guidelines | Your own programs and eligibility guidelines (rates, points, LTV, LTC, ARV, states and more), with warnings when a deal falls outside them. |
| Required docs | Document checklists that build themselves from the loan program and deal details, with conditions, statuses and a borrower upload portal. |
| Workflows & file statuses | Your own statuses, sub-statuses and workflow steps, with hard stops that keep a file from moving forward before it's ready. |
| Automation rules | Emails, tasks, webhooks and status changes triggered by status, sub-status, workflow steps and dates. |
| Pipeline & reports | Search, filter, customize columns and export your loans; dashboards and KPIs. |
| CRM & communication | Contacts, broker and borrower lists, bulk email, tasks and calendar, and a Loan Inbox on every file. |
| Document library & templates | Built-in industry forms, Doc Wizard templates from Google Docs and Sheets, and custom documents. |
| Lender Marketplace | Match a deal against lender and investor programs, share it through a deal room, and compare the offers that come back. See Lender Marketplace. |
