LendingTree and arcsystems.com to Offer Automated
Underwriting to Network of Lenders Via the Internet
Agreement Between arcsystems.com and LendingTree Offers
Consumers Instant Offers for a Variety of Loans From a Network of
Lenders
AUSTIN, Texas, July 19 /PRNewswire/ -- arcsystems.com,
formerly ARC Systems, the custom software developer of the
Internet-based LT2k(TM) automated underwriting system, today
announced an agreement with LendingTree, Inc., the online loan
marketplace that connects consumers to a network of lenders who
compete for their business.
As part of the agreement, LendingTree will make arcsystems.com's
LT2k decisioning engine available to its network of lenders,
enabling each to offer loan decisions to the consumer in 30
seconds or less. With the addition of LT2k, LendingTree will
expand its ability to provide instant offers for mortgages, home
equity loans, auto loans, personal loans, and credit cards from
its network of lenders.
``By partnering with arcsystems.com, LendingTree is able to
expand and improve our industry-leading Instant Offer Service,''
said Doug Lebda, founder and CEO of LendingTree, Inc. ``The LT2k
system, with its 30-second decisioning capability, will benefit
consumers by enabling our network of lenders to make virtually
immediate loan decisions.''
Consumers and lenders will benefit from the LT2k system
through LendingTree's Web site at www.lendingtree.com. After
the consumer completes a simple online qualification form, that
form is sent to up to four lenders. The LT2k system, which is pre-configured
for a lender's specific loan parameters, electronically accesses
consumer credit reports for real-time information. The
qualification form is then processed against a lender- supplied
rules-based decisioning system and underwriting criteria. LT2k
allows the lender to provide the customer with loan decisions in
30 seconds or less. This technology will be made available to
each lender in The LendingTree Network.
``LT2k's 30-second loan approval technology perfectly matches
LendingTree's forward-looking business model,'' said Ed Jones,
founder and CEO of ARC Systems. ``The agreement provides a
winning solution to lenders and ultimately the consumer, who will
have quick, simple access to a variety of loans.''
