Prioritizing a strong technology solution, the bank ensured that its technology programs were in place before hiring staff, making it easier to manage costs and maximize productivity for new employees.

""We wanted a single platform that had the flexibility to adapt and scale with our lending practice as we expanded the business and brought on more employees,"" said Mike Stoffer, VP of mortgage services at CNB.

""It almost seems implausible that we can do everything we need to operate our business from cradle to grave through a simple Web-browser ... I've been in this business a long time and LendingQB has radically changed the way mortgage lenders are able to manage their business,"" Stoffer added.

Noting that CNB is now a 100 percent paperless operation, Stoffer touted LendingQB's streamlined support model. Stoffer elaborated on CNB's technological advantage, emphasizing the resulting increase in employee productivity and communication, greater visibility through detailed reporting, and lower origination costs.

""This is the most responsive technical team I have worked with in my career and that's really made a difference. My employees continue to be amazed at the power of the LendingQB system, how intuitive it is to use, and how much easier it makes their jobs,"" concluded Stoffer.
