dc.description.abstract | The mortgage industry is the largest debt market in the U.S. entailing ~$10 trillion. The average processing time from mortgage application to closing is 45 days. More than 10 different stakeholders contribute to the process of mortgage origination, and they all use different types of technology to perform their parts. As such, coordinating and syncing all stakeholders is a complicated task, and therefore stakeholders revert to personalized yet inefficient communication channels, such as emails and phone calls. We offer a potential solution for this communication problem, leveraging DLT (Distributed Ledger Technology) to create pre-set channels for those stakeholders to communicate and reconcile transactions instantly. We argue that by leveraging DLT to this use case, the process of mortgage origination could go drop to 15 days, saving billions of dollars for all stakeholders. | en_US |
