National Bank of Canada's Mobile Mortgage Sales Force Goes Live with HomeBASE(TM)
National Bank's Mobile Sales Force is up and running, the second of the Big Six Banks
TORONTO, April 16 /CNW/ - Basis100 Inc. (BAS: TSE), a technology solution provider for the financial services industry, announced today that National Bank of Canada has successfully implemented HomeBASE for its Mobile Mortgage Sales Force. All Mortgage Specialists will be fully implemented by April 18th 2002.
The National Bank Mortgage Sales Force will now be able to use their laptops to create a mortgage application and transmit it electronically to National Bank's Mortgage Center for approval from a client's home or on the road. The HomeBASE application is connected to National Bank's own credit scoring system, as well as Canada Mortgage Housing Corporation and GE Mortgage Insurance Company, so that decisions can be made quickly and seamlessly without the need to re-key information into multiple systems. This allows the Bank's mortgage specialist to provide a faster response to the client and reduces the time and effort in processing the mortgage application.
"Basis100's technology solution will increase efficiencies and service levels, allowing us to provide our clients with the quality of service they deserve", stated Nicole Dumont, Senior Manager Retail Credit Solutions of the National Bank of Canada, "We were impressed with the Basis100 team - they provided us with great support through our implementation process."
The Bank's mortgage specialists will also have the ability to provide clients with various payment options and potential financing scenarios with calculation tools built into the HomeBASE application. The additional functionality available with the HomeBASE application will allow the mortgage specialist to track their prospects, referral sources, and manage their individual operations more effectively.
"Yet another successful implementation, Basis100's solutions offer great value and flexibility to meet the needs of financial institutions in today's dynamic environment. We have a consistent delivery methodology and are quick to respond to our client's needs," stated Jeff Patterson, President Canada and International of Basis100 Inc. "We look forward to our next project with National Bank of Canada."
