Our Mission

Do you feel like you’re represented? We want to give you a forum to provide thought leadership to lending professionals detailing how to achieve real process efficiencies. How do we do that? Process efficiency is all about bringing together sound business strategies and technology. We’ll share our ideas on how to attain those efficiencies. In the end, though, your participation can make all the difference.

Act Now

Now is your chance. You have to act. The SEC is looking for your feedback. They want to standardize the mortgage space. We need to tell them that MISMO is the standard that they should adopt. We don’t need a new standard. We have one that works. Stand up and be heard. Read eSignSystems’ response and leave a comment. PROGRESS in Lending Association will forward all comments to the SEC. The deadline is Monday, August 9. Read on and act now HERE.

Reacting To Reform

Other associations will be putting out position papers to tell you where you should stand on this new reform, and journalists will be analyzing it to tell you what you should think about this reform, but that’s not going to help you. We’re all about thought leadership and providing our members a place to voice their own opinions and ideas. We believe that’s how the mortgage industry will move forward in a positive direction. So, we’re providing a forum for you to hear how major industry players are reacting and for you to chime in as well.
