Powered by Stavvy's technology, Flagstar's robust digital and remote loan modification options now available to all customers, including Ginnie Mae's
BOSTON, MA and TROY, MI / ACCESSWIRE / November 18, 2021 / Stavvy, the fintech company building simple solutions for complex businesses, and Flagstar Bank, a leading national originator and servicer of mortgages and other consumer loans, today announced that Flagstar is now leveraging Stavvy's advanced platform to conveniently and securely execute digital loan servicing transactions.
Using Stavvy's robust digital technology, Flagstar completed its first fully remote loan modification in the country earlier this year. Many COVID mortgage relief programs are ending soon, meaning millions of homeowners will be transitioning out of COVID-related forbearances and into other mortgage-related solutions. With the power of Stavvy's digital mortgage servicing platform, coupled with the recent news that Ginnie Mae is now accepting eSignatures and remote online notarizations in loan modifications, Flagstar is well-positioned to handle the increased volume of requests expected in the coming months.
Flagstar and Stavvy teamed up through Flagstar's Mortgage Tech Accelerator, which since 2018 has helped companies such as Stavvy create tech innovations in the mortgage sector. The partnership with Stavvy is an important step forward in digitizing the often overlooked servicing side of home lending. Stavvy is purpose-built to conform to existing loan modification workflows and is the only eSign and remote online notarization platform with workflow tools built specifically for servicing.
"One of the driving visions at Stavvy has always been to move towards a world where homeowners are in charge of their mortgage experience, enabling them to conveniently and privately complete mortgage-related activities from wherever they are most comfortable," said Kosta Ligris, CEO & Cofounder of Stavvy. "Flagstar has been on the forefront of adopting technologies to improve the consumer experience and place the needs of its customers first. Flagstar is well-prepared and positioned to lead the rest of the industry, and we're proud to support them to make that a reality."
"Flagstar very much appreciates and values our partnership with Stavvy as we continually look for ways to make the customer experience easier and more convenient," said Lee Smith, executive vice president and president of Mortgage at Flagstar Bank. "We place a huge value on using technology like Stavvy to change consumers' lives and offer an industry-leading customer experience, especially as the need for digital loan modifications ramps up."
