In this session, we’ll be presenting
two products:
IrisLoan – A white-label servicing portal and web app that makes loan payments effortless for borrowers. It gives lenders the power to engage customers with personalized, seamless digital experiences.
HarmoniaPay – A payment orchestration platform that automates daily payment tasks. It balances payments across the lender’s existing processors by considering state-specific variables, holidays, contractual obligations with processors, and processor cost margins. The goal is to maximize automation while optimizing payments toward the most profitable processors.
Data chaos costs more than you think, from wasted hours to lost investor confidence. This interactive session combines real client stories with a “Chaos Bingo” checklist so you can quickly identify the red flags of messy data and learn how to turn them into actionable solutions.
