Intelligence from the front lines of Canadian finance
Everyone Wants to Own the Borrower. Nobody Wants to Own the Friction.
The mortgage industry spends billions improving customer acquisition, digital platforms and operational efficiency. Yet borrowers continue to navigate a fragmented transaction in which lenders, brokers, lawyers and other participants can all meet their performance targets while the overall experience falls short. The problem is not necessarily poor performance by individual institutions. It is an industry that measures the efficiency of its parts without adequately measuring the performance of the whole. As mortgage lending becomes increasingly digitized, the next competitive advantage may come not from controlling more of the customer relationship, but from improving coordination and accountability across the entire transaction.
