New Lowertm Uses Artificial Intelligence to Help Homebuyers Make Smarter Mortgage Decisions

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Dec. 13, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Lower, a technology company aimed at improving the online mortgage and refinance experience, today announced the launch of its company and internal, proprietary artificial intelligence (AI) technology. LOAi^TM is a first-of-a-kind mortgage recommendation engine that uses AI to analyze thousands of data points and past loans to instantly provide loan advisors with personalized loan selections.

With nearly two-thirds of Americans expecting to be able to apply for a mortgage and complete the application process online (source: Ellie Mae^®, March 20, 2018), homebuyers that get their loans online might not know if they are getting the best loan possible. Lower aims to improve the process by assuring homebuyers that the loan they are getting is the best loan possible.

"The online lending process is broken. Self-service works for selling socks, but not for a life-changing decision like a mortgage," said Dan Snyder, CEO and founder of Lower. "Unlike other digital lenders, we use technology to boost the expertise of our loan advisors, not replace them. We arm homebuyers with technology, transparency and data so that they can feel confident they are making the best decision possible."

Lower also offers modern homebuyers with a simple application that can be completed in minutes on a desktop or mobile browser. By answering a few straightforward questions in a conversational format, potential borrowers can get a personalized loan recommendation without the need to complete lengthy online forms or find, scan and submit paperwork.
