Top originators rely on CreditXpert to help identify borrower credit potential and generate precise credit optimization plans

Baltimore, MD, August 15, 2024 — CreditXpert, the predictive credit optimization platform that helps mortgage originators expand homeownership opportunities, reports that more than 60% of all mortgage credit inquiries are being analyzed by the company’s proprietary software.

Highlighting Something that Most Consumers Don’t Know

“Since the company’s founding in 2001, we have steadily grown our reach in the mortgage industry by highlighting a borrower’s credit potential on credit reports.  The borrower’s credit potential helps mortgage originators see how much a borrower could increase their score in just 30-days,” said Jim Hemmer, CreditXpert CEO.  “Having our Credit Assure product on more than 60% of all mortgage credit reports brings us closer to our goal of ensuring that every borrower has an opportunity to optimize their credit score at the time of origination.”

According to a study of recent and prospective homebuyers conducted by CreditXpert in 2023, most believe that they cannot improve their credit score in the short run.  That said, CreditXpert’s Mortgage Credit Potential Index (MCPI) shows that 70% of mortgage borrowers could improve their score by at least 20 points in just 30 days. For those  looking to become homeowners for the first time, 53% with initial scores below 580 could qualify for an FHA or even a Conventional loan within the loan origination cycle.  And in a high-interest rate environment, the MCPI shows that 70% of those who have qualified for a Conventional loan could lower their rate and other cost drivers like private mortgage insurance and LLPAs.

The New CreditXpert SaaS Platform Helps Originators Offer Credit Optimization to All

“We’re also seeing that today’s most sophisticated, borrower-forward originators are embracing CreditXpert’s new SaaS platform.  CreditXpert is becoming a must have tool for those originators  seeking a competitive advantage in this high-rate environment,” said Hemmer.  “I am excited to announce that we are working with 10 of the top 15 mortgage originators and 100% of the top 20 independent mortgage banks.”

“Highlighting a borrower’s credit potential is the first step in helping them reach a target score.  Our new SaaS platform released in 2023 is replacing our popular Wayfinder and What-If Simulator products and was designed to make generating a detailed credit optimization plan as simple as clicking a button,” says Renata Sheyner, CreditXpert’s VP of Product.  “We have spent years working directly with originators to make it easy for them to integrate credit optimization into their workflows and the New CreditXpert SaaS platform does just that.”

The company’s new SaaS platform runs hundreds of simulations on a borrower’s credit file to land on a recommended plan to reach a target score.  The simulations are generated through CreditXpert’s proprietary predictive analytics platform that has been trained and refined on more than 1 billion credit records.  Every plan generated by the New CreditXpert shows the mortgage originator the likelihood of reaching a target score and details the precise steps a borrower must take to achieve that score.

“We are excited to have so many of today’s most sophisticated mortgage originators on our secure SaaS platform as it will allow us to rapidly deliver innovative solutions that will make it easier and more efficient to offer credit optimization to more borrowers,” said Sheyner.  “These are truly exciting days for us here at CreditXpert.  In the past month alone, we have held on-site workshops with top originators that are driving the mortgage industry forward.”
