Concord Mortgage Group and Blend Deploy New Online Portal

Concord Mortgage Group, a division of NOIC Inc., in partnership with Blend, has released the Ready App, offering borrowers an online portal to submit their applications, documents and follow-ups in a secure, compliant manner.

"Our capability allows us to speed up the loan process and reduce borrowers' anxiety by providing transparency and a smooth process to quickly achieve their dreams of owning a home," said Philson Lescott, COO and chief digital officer for NOIC, and a former business-technology executive of Fannie Mae. "We are focused on enhancing the mortgage experience for our customers by utilizing the most talented people and the best technology in our business."

Ready App is designed to take the friction out of applying for a mortgage by delivering a fully transparent experience on any device through simple conversational prompts and seamless direct connection to more than 10,000 high-fidelity asset, payroll and tax data sources.

"At Blend, we're building technology that reinvents home lending from the ground up," said Nima Ghamsari, CEO and co-founder of Blend. "Built on a platform that integrates with existing systems, we're thrilled to work with pioneering mortgage providers like Concord to deliver a digital mortgage experience and enable fast, simple and satisfying lending experiences to both lenders and borrowers alike."
